The title says it, and I’ve said it multiple times over and over again, but I’m going to say it again:
343, FIX YOUR DAMN RANKING SYSTEM.
-begin rant-
Ranking is utterly broken. You don’t get matched up against people with the same CSR as you. Now, if CSR ranks didn’t exist for the sole purpose of displaying how good you are, this would be fine. However, they do. And do you know what this means? It means that FOUR SILVERS VS FOUR ONYXS IS NOT A FAIR -Yoinking!- GAME. And do you know what this means? Why, what else would it be than sticking your stats/KDA on a plunge and pushing them down a jet engine with afterburners on? Oh, but you say “ur a fukn noob”, or “u need to git gud m8 fukn scrub”? That “u r fukn bad at dis gme so u shouldnt be tras talking”? Of course I’m bad, that’s why I CAN’T CARRY MY TEAM AND SINGLE-HANDEDLY BEAT FOUR SEMI-PROS. What is the purpose of CSR? To match you up with people at the same skill level, that’s -Yoinking!- why. Not bragging rights. To make an evenly matched game. Add -Yoink- teammates and competent enemies to the one gamemode which makes competent teammates as crucial as possible and you get the perfect -Yoink!- of -Yoinking!- nonsense. Bottom line: 343, fix your ranking system before shoving BR starts only down our throats.
Side note: If I worked at 343 and had enough privileges to fire people, the genius who said “Hey, let’s put aerial walkways in the Empire Remix!” did not work at 343 anymore.
