CSR, RANK & QUALIFYING QUESTIONS

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

Disclaimer: I know all about the ranks/tiers and that they’re only affected by W/L after qualifying. What I don’t understand is this (apparent) contradiction:

  • How almost everyone I see is ranked Onyx in SWAT but not in other playlists - How two people can play all 10 qualifying games together, get hugely different K/D ratios and still end up in the same rank/tierI’ve seen people with higher W/L ratios in Slayer than SWAT, but they’re ranked Platinum in Slayer and Onyx in SWAT. So I infer from this that qualifying rank is based more on individual performance. If qualifying rank isn’t so much based on W/L and more on individual performance, how does this explain point #2?

Hopefully this makes sense. If someone has the answer to this then please educate me, I’d genuinely love to know what’s going on here.

I think onyx has to be a certain amount of people. Like there has to be 2000 onyx players( for example). Which is why ffa and swat give out onyx so easily. Because thier population is lower than the other lists.

I think you’ve nailed it, that makes perfect sense.
