I’ve been playing a lot of Infinity slayer recently, after the release of CSR. But, its got me wondering, does CSR actually encourage people to play more? Or does it result in more people “rage quitting”?
Thanks to the matchmaking system, I’ve been forced to leave a lot more games than I’d like to, because of joining games late, where there is really no chance of going positive. Normally, however I would stay in these games, as a few bad games aren’t really gonna do much difference to a k/d with 40,000 kills. However, since CSR has been running, it has been making a difference, if I go negative I go down, which I don’t like.
So, it seems to me like, it just encourages people to stay in good games, and leave the ones they wouldn’t do so well in. And because 343 haven’t really explained how the CSR works, and if it takes in to account factors such as teams having less members etc, I think it results in worse games due to people leaving more, and because of this people are usually penalized for things they cannot help.
How does everyone else feel? And does anyone know of a resource which shows exactly how CSR is established?
Leaving games puts you as finishing last place in the match. So when you do that you’re essentially lowering your rank much lower than had you played the game and done mediocre.
But I do agree with you. 75% of my games since CSR has launched have been JIP or uneven. I don’t know why it is more rampant now, it’s kind of sad.
Yeah, don’t care about that silly number, so I just stay in games unless I’m teamed up with the biggest bunch of morons ever assembled. That’s the only time I leave.
Solution: make JIP incredibly rare. How? Let’s start by not starting games when people quit in the voting menu. Sure, let them quit in the menu once or twice in a row (no more than that), but then fill that spot before continuing with voting and beginning the game. That way people would have to start the game, then quit within the first minute or so in order for that spot to be filled via JIP.

Pro-tip: If you cared about the number you would be paired with morons less often. CSR reflects your TrueSkill, if you are trying to win games you will be paired with people of a similar mindset.

Remove SWAT and CTF from Castle DLC, then we will talk. (Not that I hate CTF, but no one ever tries to get the flag so on average it’s a colossal waste of time. But I really hate SWAT).

If you care that much then sure. I strongly recommend you to not care so incredibly much. Instead just ignore it, play as you normally would, and enjoy the fact that CSR will eventually start matching you to other players of similar, consistent skill. Striving for a CSR rank you aren’t qualified for can only lead to frustration.

It reflects the people you’re teamed up with, not your skill. I eventually gave up on Halo 3 because people would quit constantly. I just went over to social and enjoyed it because people actually played the game instead of worrying about the number by their name.

To try to convince other people to not care about it.
