Fed up with arena ratings or lack of

OK. Quite frankly I know im not that good of a player as I’ve only been playing online with halo reach for just shy of a year now. but im freaking sick of how hard im finding it to get out of iron league in the arena!!!

On Tuesday I rated mid 1300’s and I got to the top 10% of iron league and yesterday I rated 1529 now last season I did the same and I got promoted to bronze league. This season however I droppped from top 10% of the iron league to top 25% and my KD and assist ratio was better that what it was on Tuesday? What The Hell Is going on with that???

Your division placement is solely based on wins and losses, not on individual performance. To go up, win against players placed higher than you and don’t lose against players placed lower than you.

Go in with some people to know so that you’ll have a better chance of winning. Your rating is irrelevant, and your placement is only based on your win loss.

If you’re really that desperate to get out of iron then shoot me a friend request. I called in sick to work today so I’ll run some games with you.

Just keep playing man. Shouldn’t be that hard to get out of iron league, you probably haven’t played much.

Some of these single-digit Onyx’s aren’t going to understand your situation. I finally got out of Iron and sit middle Bronze now.

Two suggestions that helped me - play a round or two of Gruntpocolypse or SWAT beforehand as a warm-up, and (as mentioned before) find some partners.

I know if you play at odd times, it’s hard to find people you can count on but find a clan/group you can work with. Being able to have teammates you can count on to not quit, not betray you for weapons, and will try to help when you are in the Yoink-er - that will help a bunch - and is a lot more fun!

2s trick and Iron boost.

You can be the next 1%. Just like XLG.

1600 microsoft points and i’ll get you an onyx ;).

lol jk…

But for real, I’ve been onyx every season I’ve played (I think around 10 or so now). I know everyone says that it’s purely based off of wins and losses but that is not the deciding factor. A big part of it is WHO you beat. For example since I start the season playing onyx kids and I beat them I immediately get ranked higher, even if I lose a TON of games. I’ve seen golds with equal if not better w/l ratio’s then me yet I’m ranked much higher.

Honestly, you just need to beat whoever is ranked higher then you.

P.S. I know everyone says this but teammates do help, even if you only have 1. Or if you find a party that you worked well with stay with them as long as you can. Hope you can get onyx before halo 4!

Does Iron boosting work if you’re currently in Iron?
