Halo 5 is punishing me everytime I play arena

Ok, I’ll admit I’m a filthy casual. My favourite halo was reach and I spent 2000 hours wrecking on living dead.

However I was still pretty decent at slayer, objective and in team objective I could hit really high sprees all the time. In slayer even if I didn’t win I always felt I was doing well. I rarely had a negative K/D ratio. Usually I would be hitting killing frenzies with the sword or sniper.

Now in halo 5 I can’t play slayer alone without getting absolutely wrecked. Gone are the killing frenzies of reach and in are the negative K/D ratios because I feel like I can’t move. I feel like a terrible player when I’m getting BR’d or AR’d by somebody I can’t see on my minimap. Melee frustrates the hell out of me in this game because someone is seemingly next to me but I can’t melee them.

Maybe I’m bad and you’re going to tell me to get back to warzone like a scrub. But I want to be good at arena. I felt good at slayer and objective in halo reach. Even in halo 3 I used to get double positive K/D’s in ranked slayer. Idk whats different now, I’m used to the controls and yet I still feel so bad at the game. Any suggestions? I enjoy the game but playing alone arena is too frustrating to play and its putting me off the game. :frowning:

I swear, 343 can’t match players with their skill level. I’m a Diamond 1 in Slayer, and I’m pitted with Onyx 3s, and league champions without a say.

I’m ranked platinum 1 in slayer and the matches are tougher than in team arena where I’m diamond 5. I don’t understand how the ranking system works :confused:

H5’s total focus on eSports is a little off putting.

I wish there was a social slayer gamemode, the only social playlist is warzone and its cool but long and repetitive if your playing it the entire day

the funniest thing is that yesterday I got double positive k/d every game playing alone. Ah halo 5

Game mechanics and focuses on classic halo aspects are warped in this game. Trust me I feel your pain. Most halo titles my over all K/D is between 2.4-2.9 (go ahead and check my stats) yet I feel like it is so much easier to get killed by the dumbest things I used to be able to beat out that it’s just plain annoying to play sometimes.

I just lost 4v3 breakout… and lost all 5 matchmaking games Ive played. Came top KDR in most of them but still lost. Blame the team always!
