What the hell happened? I remember when it was all over the forums that Bungie fixed Arena by making your division based on your W/L ratio instead of player rating. And then every time someone mentions Arena someone STILL always comes in to say they changed it to W/L.
But for some god awful reason, despite the fact that I have played 28 games, and won 21 I’m Silver, despite that I just played against a player who has played 59 and only won 33 and is in Gold.
He also has a LOWER K+A/D than I do in Season 9, his being somewhere around 1.4, and mine being up around 1.9.
Arena is STILL broken. I don’t know where the hell anyone got the idea they changed it to W/L cause they didn’t. Otherwise, how would an obviously WORSE player than me, who I played and beat THREE TIMES today, have a higher division rating?

There’s your answer. You’ve only played 28 games. TrueSkill takes approximately 46-138 games to accurately determine your rank in a 4v4 playlist. No one got to a 50 in 28 games in Halo 3 (without boosting).
Also you just got rated today. The 4 games you played today have not been reflected in your rank yet. Your Division and % updates daily at 3 AM PST.
If that gold player loses to onyx players HE IS’T GOING TO RANK DOWN.
Furthermore if he wins against onyx players HE WILL RANK UP.
Id doesn’t matter what your stats are, it matters WHO YOU WON AND LOST AGAINST. That is the single reason Trueskill is so good, because you can’t rank up by beating noobs.
wow thats weird… I would make consistent 1550 - 1650 ratings with a 4/3 win loss last season and I was put in 40% gold; eventually I pulled myself up to 20% onyx by making consistent 1550 - 1650 ratings and eventually ending with a 6/4 win loss. If you go in with a team and win consistently, you should be able to get some onyx. Me and my friends are gonna get rated in october.

also this.
I remember getting a daily of 1624 and going from 10% gold to 5% gold because the only people we played that day were gold.
Then for some reason the next day, my freinds “phyre blaze” and “zachattack 1057” all played onyx kids all day for about 7 or 8 games, I averaged 1494 and I went from 5% gold to 60% onyx, this got them to jump as well.
Bottom line is, dont let gold beat you ever, and search with a team.

One thing I forgot to mention, once you are rated, you can stop the silvers, golds, and 40-99 onyxs, then it gets challenging. It might take about a week to get onyx from silver, just keep playing.
