How did I lose rank with a win?

That’s why a KD based system isn’t very good in my opinion. That, and supportive roles, like destroying shields so a teammate can headshot aren’t rewarded very much either. Plasma Pistol into a BR is fast, but plasma pistol then having a teammate headshot is faster, it’s good teamplay, but not good for your rank

I think incorporating KDA ratio instead of K/D or kills/minute would make a big difference, instead if Assists would get more points than currently.

It’s ridiculous to have a 'good" game and lose rank. Makes me not want to play.

Then you don’t understand what ranking is. If you didn’t demonstrate that you have the same level of skill as other players at the same rank, then you will drop rank. It’s that simple. Winning and losing games is only one factor.

@abcdefgeek

Yeah 343 devs are trash and this ranked system

Well that’s just not true. At all.
infinites campaign was pretty awesome. And multiplayer’s a ton of fun, it just needs a lot of balance and a better scoring system.

What?
So I don’t understand ranking when I have a good game win and barely go up then have a mediocre game and go up a lot?

[olanmills]

Yes, in a properly working ranking system, that is entirely possible. It depends on a bunch of other factors that I can’t know about in your specific situation.

Look at it this way, if a high school football team plays their heart out against an NFL team and loses by just six points, all of their game play stats may be “mediocre”, but they played way better than anyone would have expected, and they will be rated highly. Likewise, if the NFL team’s ranking may not move up even though they won the game, and in fact their ranking might even go down.

You lost MMR because you teabagged too much. Unsportsmanship behaviour is not rewarded.

Too much? I don’t understand this concept…

[RamboBambiBambo]

Double-Dip is okay.

Going dip-dip-dip-dip-dip-dip-dip-dip-dip-dip-dip while smacking the body with the butt of your rifle is uncalled for.

Hence the MMR change.

Just a had a stronghold match that started with my team a Spartan down. We start losing pretty badly, then two of their players ended up quitting/disconnecting. We come back and win and I lose a significant amount of CSR.

What is that about?

[Chieftain_Sonic]

did you try deranking your still matching in social and then going for kills only when playing objectives in ranked? That should help

[pervadiso]

You know, I kind of wonder if that’s why they postponed the tactical slayer event.

[Shaedlaer]

They might have, it’s quite logical that they would rather make the event after touching up current matchmaking, desync and similar issues. Especially that headshotfest would probably be most vulnerable to such issues.

Same I don’t get this. Played a match of CTF won went 26 and 15 no caps but still lost rank. I guess I didn’t cap but was top of the leaderboard and got 5 returns and 1 steal. Not my best game r not close to the best games I had but why would I lose rank for playing against a good team in a well fought out match.
