Arena Ranks

I’m currently diamond 3, I’ve won multiple matches and they haven’t counted as any XP to go higher into diamond, and I loose a match then I nearly loose my rank? I’m confused and kind of annoyed

Your gains and losses of progress kinda depends on certain criteria within the match itself. You won’t move up just by winning. There’s a bit more to it than that. Who you match against, kpm, total kills, kda, did you perform better than the system calculated you to? Did you do just as expected? Your teams strength vs your opponents team strength, were you running solo, duo, with a full squad etc etc.

Don’t get me wrong. It is annoying to win and get nothing, but when its put into perspective…at least under normal circumstances it makes sense.

But in a not so normal circumstance…

If you lose against a team that has for example…2 onyx…maybe a low daimond and a gold or even lower than a gold and you gain nothing…well…that my friend is the system loop hole. The guys who lost take less of a loss…you get hardly anything…but heaven forbid you lose…you will lose A LOT.

Those guys pretty much had that low player to kinda preserve their rank. SOMETIMES match making might throw in 1 lower ranked player…but more often than not…its a deliberate team selection.

Alright, I appreciate the help

Yeah, the visual playlist skill ranks are not really designed to be a hybrid progression system.

See THIS & THIS for a more thorough understanding of how the visual playlist skill ranks function in Halo 5. They’re designed to be a reflection of your TrueSkill.
