I just joined a game in progress and ended up doing the best and ranked up to a 44. Then I started another game and joined in progress half way through and ended up going 28-8. The best on the other team went 22-17, and I ended up ranking down to a 43. How does that work? I know it is somewhat new but they should of tested it better before putting it in the game. JIP is a terrible idea for ranked games. Just admit it 343. Take it out. There is no way I should of ranked down. If anything I should of ranked up more for winning, going +20, and all while joining a game that was halfway over and the team I joined was losing.
I agree a little bit, but better a slightly effective ranking system than none at all.
At least MLG vs SpRank2 doesn’t happen. (Or very rarely)
Personally, I get decent players (fun, intense, fair game) but now and again (about 1 in 7 games or so) I’ll get a ton of new beginners that don’t know how to play, leading to an unsatisfying massacre.
Party size restrictions are necessary. Now that there is some incentive for performance, I keep running into teams of four when I’m joining matchmaking by myself. They also need to narrow down the search restrictions for skill just a little. Its not fun to go +12 and you have a teammate die 32 times causing you to lose.
And here’s the big thing, CSR should factor in both win/loss and personal performance. Personal performance should take into account deaths. In a slayer game type, if you get 17 kills and 30 deaths, you did NOT do better than the guy that got 14 kills and 10 deaths.
So do well on the winning team, and you go up alot. Do poorly on the winning team, you go up a little. Do well on the losing team, you go down a little. Do poorly on the losing team, you go down alot. This way there is an incentive to win, but your personal performance will determine what direction your CSR trends, because even if you consistently do well, statistics will dictate that when grouping with randoms the other team will win something approaching 50% of the time (your consistently good performance will skew it in your favor)
