Is there a way to report players for unsporting behaviour in Halo 5, not just reporting them through XBL? Just played a game with a guy who was intentionally spawning and running to the enemy team to let them kill him. It was 2v4 and the enemy 2 won because “persons” went -1 and 10. I’m not irritated about losing rank, I just started this season and I’m not even high yet. I’m irritated that someone would go into a ranked playlist and purposely tank other players just because they want to be lower or the just want to be a -Yoink-. That kind of toxicity and detrimental play has no place in this community.

There is no other way than XBL, I’m just as mad about it as you are. I’ve had things like this happen a lot with teamkillers and throwers.
Also, don’t say the guy’s name. The mods are gonna chalk you up for that.

Thanks for the reply, I took his name out of it.
Good on you for doing your part to cleanse the online community. For your benefit, remember to block the gamer(s) too.

Probably would have been better if you’d snipped the text yourself…and reported it…

This. I’ve ran into a number of annoying players before, some of them in denial for their actions. It might even reduce / eliminate your chances of encountering them in matchmaking.
I once reported and blocked a player 2 days in a row, kept running into him in action sack, non stop betrayals. I even was able to boot him once and he JIP right back lmao. I did play against him in a later match and that was great. I ran back into him every day the rest of that week. I don’t think blocking/reporting does much at all, unless it is done in the masses. Also gotta love those btb players that shoot you the whole match if they don’t get their precious sniper… Really? Blows my mind this still happens. What ya gonna do
For the sake of clarity:

> - Blocking was being used mostly strategically instead of to avoid harassment. Many of the top teams blocked each other, resulting in the top being unable to play themselves. Instead, they ended up playing lower-skilled teams. This made matchmaking worse. This was not the intention of the feature. - Blocking sharded the top unnecessarily. Once we tightened matchmaking just a little bit, the top could barely match anymore because of all the blocking going on. - There’s no recourse for blocking. Once you block someone, they can’t match with you forever. If a player’s behavior changes, there’s no way from them to request to be unblocked. There’s no easy way to clean up your block list at all. So over time, matchmaking just got worse and worse for no compelling reason. - Matchmaking is improving and continuing to improve. With those improvement, the skill-related reasons for blocking are less compelling. Players shouldn’t have to block each other to avoid hard matches. The matchmaking improvements can and should do that without sharding the population. - Blocking for matchmaking reasons is not needed at the mid-skill range since those players rarely see the same people anyways. In the high-skill range, we can’t have blocking since it degrades quality to much, and forces high-skilled players to play vs. much lower-skilled player – also not acceptable.At the end of the day, the responsibility for good matches from a gameplay POV should not be player filtering, but better matchmaking, which is what we are working on.
You can try on XBL. But most of the time they will ignore the request.
Ok thanks
The thing that annoys me the most in ranked is the throwers. I can’t stand a teammate that just wants to ruin your whole experience by throwing your position to the enemy team.
