I would like the mode of bans to be changed in the ranked arena, I am at the second ban, this is because very often I find myself in games in which we already start at a numerical disadvantage (the game gives me two companions instead of three) and often starting at a disadvantage people abandon, of consequently avoiding long nerve-wracking games in which I find myself alone against 4 quitto myself, I do not find the ban mode right, above all I do not find it correct that they are cumulative and can never be reset, I hope they intervene as soon as possible, in this moment i have to finish a game of massacre in 2 vs 4, it has nerve-wracking, boring and frustrating, but obviously you can’t do it otherwise, otherwise the game will ban you!
I think they reset after 16 hours of not having quit a game?

I received the first ban of 5 minutes 2 months ago, last night after 2 months I received the second ban of 15 minutes, they are cumulative from what I understand and they do not reset, if in 3 months they ban me again I will waiting 30 minutes. the ban if you you leave a match (even if you are the only player on your team) or if the game throws you out due to some connection error, I don’t think that’s right …
In mcc if half your team have already quit, you can quit without a ban. They should do that here.

absolutely not unfortunately 
, as I wrote above I quit the game in which I was alone against 4, yet I still received the ban! it is for this reason that I complain and that I would like the ban modalities to change, for example the fact that they are cumulative even after months and cannot be reset… i find it right to “” punish “” the players who assiduously leave the games or hind your team, but the they are measures implementing now seem too exaggerated …

I am all for penalising the Hell out of quitters.
But they need a way to allow us to exit 3v4 (or worse) gracefully.
It’s not fun for either team.
Or… if they are going to continue the match could we possibly move to 3v3? The extra player on the other team can rotate “off the bench” with each team death.
At least that would make the game interesting to contest. Halo 5 games occasionally started off 3v3 and they were fun. I know the team balances would be completely undone (especially if the best player is the one who quit) - but still, it’s got to be better than what’s happening now.
And possibly but the missing player a chance to log back in!

definitely something they have to do, I took 3 photos of different games (since this morning I have played a dozen), in three games we were disadvantaged, very often 2 vs 4 series, you are bored, because you do not know what to do, because if the quit made you lose only the arena points patience I would have quit, but unfortunately I would have taken the third ban, it’s a shame it’s a good game halo in my opinion but on many things they have to do something, let’s hope they solve a lot of things …
Blame 343 having the CTF challenge this week. People are leaving, suiciding, or feeding themselves to the enemy to quickly end matches, so they can get CTF matches for the Capstone challenge.
343 sabotaged Ranked with challenges. They also sabotaged Ranked with the new matchmaking update.
Onyx can pair with unranked, bronze, silver, and gold now, thanks to the new anti-filtering update they did.
Now you get to enjoy 170ms ping matches with horrible teams that die on purpose for challenges.
Incredible update, 343…
Ranked is busted, and they’re resetting ranks anyway.

i would like to contact halo support, where can i find their email address? at least I can attach the photos, because the situation seems absurd to me …
They had 6 years to come up or at least copy good, fair and reliable systems to minimize the quitting/afk problem. And what did they do? Nothing… absolutely nothing. They even made it worse by not even warn the players. A fair amount of quits can be avoided by simple having one more button to press and telling people that they receive a ban if they back out.
But I guess there plain bad UI isn’t capable of doing that… lol.
It’s shocking what 343 delivered here and how the approache things.
edit: I like your idea with one player on the bench.

yes the idea of ​​spinning the players is not bad, and unfortunately it is true, it seems that they are doing very little, in fact the game seems to have had a decline, but maybe it’s just my impression
is it not better to bring the old game type/ map voting system back to fix that problem more?
then you will not get that type problems a lot any more.
the risk is that you get stuck on the same game type more if you have bad luck with it.
i’m sorry but you barely de-rank if you lose with quitters
just stick it out in the rare matches where people quit and practice playing at a disadvantage
it may not be “fun” in the traditional sporting sense but there’s no reason to shoot yourself in the foot by quitting if you actually care about the number next to your name
this is more a problem with the random playlist than anything, things will get even better tomorrow when the CTF specific weekly challenge gets taken out and people stop quitting when they don’t get CTF (400 meaningless XP and a crappy name plate are not good enough reason to be quitting non-CTF ranked matches)

1 vs 4 in massacre mode, I’ll let you imagine …
I hope that at least they fix the bans, knowing that you have already collected 2 bans is not nice. Thank you very much for the nice message, good evening friend​:smile:

then its not a 1 vs 4 any more.

And I agree with the earlier poster - you’re getting a lot of quitters right now because of the ranked CTF challenge I expect

its not only CTF its the same when the chalalnge is something with oddball then you get the same problem.
is it not easyer to tell that 343 most bring back the lobby system where all players are staying and vote for the next game type and can leave if there wane or keep playing with the same lobby?
People hated map voting because it made it almost impossible to get the mode they wanted, if people always outvoted them. People hate random match selection, but it at least plays every mode eventually.
in what way? no new players are added in ranked as in a classic match …
