Can anyone explain me how this thing works I guess i must be a poor player. Cause I keep getting moved around alot going up and down in the divisions. My score is useally in the high 1500 or mid 1600. Im just wondering were I need to get to be up there and what scores I should be shooting for I flex between iron and bronze. I already now there low divisions but I would like to get up there so you guys in the high ones just tell me the score i should be looking for thanks
arena is based off of win loose so your rating which is based off of individual skill has little meaning.
So your saying that I got to have a winning team to be in a higher division because I useally I go it alone and my win lose sucks even though IM usally up there with a ggod score.
It’s win/loss and who you play. Beating people better than you helps you move up more quickly, while losing to players worse than you will drop you divisions quickly.

yup, also, who you win and loose to has an effect, you can be placed against silvers the majority of the time and win every time but get placed against onyx every now and and loose each time placing you around gold.

Am I the only one that thinks that’s -Yoinking!- stupid? If people are looking for a true skill ranking, why bother with Arena? If it were FFA, win/loss might make sense, but not with random teammates affecting your ranking,

arena is a team playlist though, so, the team that wins is the better team, basing it off of individual skill just promotes selfish gameplay and this wrecked havoc on arena in it’s early days because you would have your won teammates killing you so your individual skill gets rated lower, waiting for you to die then come in and finnish the person off and so on.
you should really go into arena as a full team though, otherwise you are just going to get people who most likely won’t know how you play and since there is no communication they won’t be of any help either.

You are not the only one, it is my opinion due to Reach’s overwhelming majority of players that search as randoms, the ranked competitive playlist should reward them with personel reward, instead of rewarding teams.
Even if they switched, teams of players would be rewarded as they will be more effective in combat and the individual will not suffer for a single bad random teammate.
I understand there are problems, but getting new players in Arena is a bigger problem, most Reach players, play alone, this one seems so easy.
