Halo Wars 2 Ranking System.

Dear anyone who reads this(especially if you work under the multiplayer division),

I am utterly done with playing ranked if there is literally no difference in skill. I am a Diamond in ranked 3v3 multiplayer and I expect to play with highly skilled players around my rank, and understand what to do, and how to make the right decisions. Ranked should be made so that people with the rank(ex. I’m a diamond) would be teamed up with and against with people that are ranked as a diamond or a platinum. I am utterly sick and disgusted how i’m always paired with level 4 and 8’s! It is tiring to carry the team, and how inexperience they are! they are so much pain to carry, and I end up losing my rank by a simple rush with no support, or just them being stupid. Please, let people who are UNRANKED go against people who are UNRANKED, until they are determined what proper division they able to play in, and let people who actually work hard go against people who is around their rank and shows the same amount of effort as they do to their rank. I am sick and tired of this ranking system being broken. Please, for the community’s sakes, make the ranking system fair! It’s just not fun when being the one to carry. Please, there is no point to a ranking system, if theres no change in gameplay and feel for the player. Keep the casuals on one side of the game, and keep the players that care in what they spend hours to grind.

Thanks, Protoss.

I just play 1vs1, I refuse to deal with that situation. It’s worse enough they do it in Versus AI. I can’t imagine it in ranked.

You dont rlly see skilled players until you hit onyx tbh because eveyrone who was good placed into high diamond its like a never ending sinkhole for anyone who didnt get onyx they just get stuck in diamond unless they play with others

See that’s a problem with playing Unranked vs Unranked. The system doesn’t really know what to expect until they have both got their ranks. The system will try and gauge where you are in terms of skill by playing people in different ranks.

Unranked vs Unranked can have you playing a Sliver vs a Diamond in terms of skill, but the system doesn’t know that.

How do the ranks order? Im in dimond. What’s after and whats before?

He’s right if you don’t go up against certain ranks the system won’t know where to place you. If you win 10 matches against an unranked opponent how does the system tell you where you’re going it would have no base. Now if you play against diamond and lost but had success against platinum then it should place you there instead. That’s better then inflating you to a false rank.

People play in team ranked games solo? That sounds rough. I can barely stand playing unranked without squad mates. Good idea for you to find someone who does good when you’re playing and try to party up with them.

I would imagine:

  • Bronze - Silver - Gold - Platinum - Diamond - OnyxI am not sure about anything below Gold, but I can’t imagine that it would be anything else.

Champion is the highest ranking

I didn’t find myself going up against similar skilled players on a regular basis until i was several wins into onyx (1v1). I feel like Jstlaurent7 is right. Once you get out of diamond you will feel the difference. maybe unranked doesn’t play against an onyx?

I’m having the same problem I’m not going to say I’m amazing at Blitz but I’m decent enough. But like most people I’m fed up with being paired with low ranked players. One example was I had a lvl 8 and 5 on my team and the opposing team was 50,48,46 how is that going to be a fair game if it was random skill levels for that game type fine but its meant to be ranked. I highly doubt that these low leveled players were diamond ranked

Player level has nothing to do with rank.

That’s why the number rank system needs to come back. Build yourself back up so we don’t have unranked vs onyx or diamonds or anything. There shouldn’t be an unranked tbh. You should start from 1 and go up from there. Not your CSR rank either that’s just stupid or whatever that number is by your name lol!

That would be awesome because I am in platinum with a few loses in 2v2 and most of the loses I later beat the teams I lost to and 90 percent of the people I play don’t know what they are doing at all it makes the game not fun at all honestly I have pretty much stopped playing because of this it got boring fast

Yeah halo 3 had a 1 to 50 rank system. Once you hit 40 then you knew you would be facing good players and there was a slim chance your teammates didn’t know how to play. This new rank system just experiments and makes the other players deal with someone who potentially doesn’t know how to play it’s a very bad handicap to throw on people trying to rank up.

At least if I ever play enough games to get onyx rank it might get fun don’t see that ever happening though most of those players have 100 plus ranked games

You don’t need that many games to get Onyx if you win almost all of them. I have just almost 60 games played and I’m in Champion.

Problem is that probably 30 or 40 really boring games usually by the 3rd or 4th me and my buddy are board and don’t play again for a week or two lol

Then rush them harder. 5-10 min games vs newbies not worth your time for a long game. If they are better they will survive and it will be fun.

I agree with the above comment to rush them hard for a qiuck game and if they surive then its worth a long game

btw i am exp level 6 fairly new to game but diamond rank 1v1 so not all noobs are bad lol

Would like a buddy for 2v2 i use a mic and main kinsano atm and go for the hard rush and harass game tag: zbagapocalypse
