How to get higher CSR?

Games Other Halo
1

Can anyone tell me how the heck i’m meant to rank up on this game when 4/5 games (no, seriously, FOUR out of FIVE) I have literal potatoes on my team. I top frag my team pretty much every game, often doubling the second place kills while playing offense and defense obj. I’ve lost 4-5 (i don’t remember) games in a row where i’ve been the best player in pretty much all of them and i’m just deranking over and over. I don’t think i’m a great halo player, but I feel like I’m far better than my current rank and it’s frustrating having to put up with these rage quitters/awful awful players over and over.

Ranked in Halo 5 is very competitive. If you want to get higher you must win more, but if you solo queue, the teams you get matched with tend to be less skillful than you.

So my advice? Find a team that’s as good as you and play

Play with a team!

If you insist on soloing, you will need to do your best to improve yourself, specifically how well you can contribute to your team. While having good mechanics like being able to strafe, being able to aim, and knowing how to use each weapon is essential, the biggest impact on your teammates will be how you play strategically.

I know my experience soloing is anecdotal, but I am not that good with the Pistol, being I rarely get a Perfect Kill on it. However, I’ve made it to Onyx not just because of my mechanics but because of how I play with my team. By being at the right place on the map, I can provide support by harassing the enemy team and pressuring them to stay behind cover while my teammates can safely move to key positions on the map. I can shoot enemies and keep their shields low so that someone else on my team can rush in and clean up the kill. Because each team needs supportive players, I was able to get up to Onyx by supporting my teammates through the use of strategic positioning.

So my advice for you would be to look at replays and watch the movements of you, your teammates, and your opponents. Try to see how each kill was made, i.e look for how each player used the map to their advantage, see how spawning was influenced by player positioning, how teammates helped each other, etc. If you play strategically, you should be able to climb consistently.

Play with a full party that’s the best way to win a lot of games

This right here. You can’t consistently count on random players from game to game, so partying up is the only way to have some control over the skill of your teammates.

I went 2 and 15 in a game of Team Arena - went straight back to FFA. I was so bad.

I think everyone has their best game mode/weapons. For example, I’m awful at break out, I’m decent enough at team arena but I’m a fairly low rank, only gold something. My best game mode by far is SWAT. I won 9/10 of my placement games and top fragged 8 of the wins and one of the losses even playing vs players in the tier above platinum towards the end. It could be from playing a lot of call of duty (and I mean a lot) because my flick head shot reactions and cross hair placement is really strong, however in regular gunfights I tend to lose focus or slip up and lack the consistency to hit 4-5 shots in a row on players for the perfect kills.

True - I’m not that confident with the Pistol even after playing this game solid for the last 6 months. I’m very much BR dominant in preference due to way too much Halo 3. I’m in awe of those with real skill in using the weapon - I get Perfected (by others) quite often, but that is likely due to connection to Australia!

^ This is so true.

OP - try to pay less attention to your K/D every game, and more attention to helping support your teammates by being in (or fighting for) good map positions. Know the timing of the powerups and power weapons, and deny them to the enemy. Quickly land 1-2 shots on enemies who are about to be fighting your teammates, so your teammates will have an easier kill. In objective gametypes, overall K/D matters far less than WHEN you’re getting the kills. Get slays around the objectives, or at least harass the enemy at those moments. Learn the spawn patterns and figure out where the enemy pressure will be coming from, then help counter that pressure so your teammates don’t get overrun.

Case in point, OP - check out this game you played.

Your whole team outslayed the enemies HUGELY. You went 31-15, and your teammates went WAY positive too. But it was a CTF game, not slayer, and you lost 3-1. You gotta play the objective, and doing that well takes practice and some studying of strategy. Don’t just watch pro-level games, also watch some plat/diamond level team arena (find some games in theater) gameplay to see what you need to be doing to reach that level. Learn when to be aggressive and push for a flag pull or stronghold cap, and when to be defensive and guard your flag/stronghold.

I’m low diamond in team arena. You’re welcome to bookmark a couple of my games and watch them in theater to see how the game plays at the plat/diamond level. You might pick up some strats. Try watching all the POVs, to see how people of different ranks play.
