Halo 5 matchmaking is garbage

Look at my latest KD trend in SWAT
Look at my last 20 games on WL in SWAT
Notice anything? How I keep losing even though I perform well? It’s because I keep getting paired with garbage teammates and enemies of equivalent skill to mine. Did I sign some agreement that said I’d lose most of my games out of my control? I’m finding it extremely hard to enjoy playing when I get paired nonstop with teammates that can barely get a KD of 0.1 and high level champions. Literally got paired against the number one champion on more than one occasion while having teammates in the gold/platinum range. Why is this? Is there some way I can change this?
EDIT: keep in mind I’m not just referring to the last 20 games. This has been going on all season.

I really don’t understand what you are complaining about. The game has been dead for years now.:hugs: Which makes you super late to the party bro.
If you stop playing Halo 5 then you’ll be like the rest of us. Don’t get the wrong idea I don’t mind certain things in Halo 5 but just like most games when I feel like I’m being forced to use certain weapons or play a certain way it turns me off and I’ll just stop playing it overtime.

I love when people ^ make the claim that H5 is “dead” and for several years? What evidence do you have to support that? Going off my own experiences I wait no longer than a couple minutes to find a game in any playlist even today. If you don’t count that FFA debacle a couple weeks ago where I couldn’t find a game. When that happens I’m convinced 343 lies and says nobody is playing when I’ll bet there’s a behind the hood bug that prevents people from matching.

Either way I have to disagree and say H5 is not dead, in fact prior to reach joining MCC H5 always had the higher population <source> go to Xbox most played games and MCC was always below H5 until the point they decided to remove MCC from the list.

As for OP above, your playing the one playlist I don’t touch in Swat so sorry bud can’t help you.

I have the same problem and it sucks

Most games have this issue, I think OW had a kinda nice system to pair you up with equal teammates but Halo seems to love lacking on good teammate systems like such. I’ll get paired with people who AFK every game(and aren’t banned), are toxic af towards their teammates in chat, and worse all the time. 343 could at least try to balance this in MCC since it’s being worked on like right now since they’ll probably ignore fixes h5 related but that’s just my guess

The MCC Matchmaking is better than Halo 5

I can’t believe the -Yoink!- hasn’t silenced you X’D

But really, I 1000% agree with you, when I get ranked with diamond to Silver and I get ranked against Platinum to Champ, playing Arena is just not doable. Doesn’t help that more often than not I am the only one on my team with positive KDA. Look at the Brightside though. It means that if there is no 343 conspiracy against you too, the only logical explanation is you are such a GOD that they HAVE to pit you like this in order to balance it.
