Has anyone else been getting garbage matches?

Me and a few of my Spartan Company members have been playing Warzone and Arena, yet everytime we join it’s always unfair and unmatched. We will get teams of ranks 50 and lower with us but after being demolished so fast we will check their team ranks… they are all ranks 100 and above! Please tell me where that is fair?!? Keep in mind we are ranked 50-85.

Those ranks are not an indication of skill at all. Just time played and experience points gained.

Yes but higher level people have more experience.
And more / better reqs.

I’m usually on the team that’s half under level 20.
When the enemy team is 40+.

LOL that stupid number means nothing. I could make a brand new account and be level 1 and smoke srcubs in Onyx-level FFA.

This game is much more about communication and teamwork than actual skill.

I also could be level 20 but spend $500 on gold req packs without it affecting my level at all. If your team is getting completely decimated every time you match, then I could understand your frustration. But if the matches are closely fought, then matchmaking is doing exactly what it’s supposed to be doing.

Also keep in mind that when you play Warzone, each team has 12 skill rankings that it’s trying to mediate and average into a fair match. So if even a few of the players on your team have high skill rankings, it’s going to significantly affect the type of players you match with.

those ranks don’t really mean anything

Some of the times it’s close. But it seems more than half the time we’re completely getting stomped by mlg-wannabes. It feels as if it’s gotten way worse the past 2ish weeks. It really puts me off, and makes me (and my friends) not want to play the game.

If it were ever so often like in every other game before this, sure, that would be perfect. But it has happened to us game after game, and after a few matches we just call it quits and leave the game in whole for a bit because we don’t want to deal with this games BS.

Your rank means absolutely nothing besides that you’ve spent more time in game.

At the same time skill and the spartan ranks have no correlation and better reqs only apply to warzone IF you reach the level to use said reqs.
