Now maybe I should elaborate, I can get a single win after a lot of time, and while it may seem like I am complaining- I assure you my issue goes deeper than just having a bad couple games.
Realize as well why I am frustrated isn’t because I’m mad at Halo but rather I am mad that it is so difficult for me to play it. Anything asides from Infection and Warzone Firefight I just can’t seem to win unless I play for hours upon hours. I have to seriously buckle down and try insanely hard.
And honestly I don’t want to anymore. I’m tired of 9, 10, 12 losses in a row. I’m tired of teammates betraying me constantly, not playing the objectives, hell, even stealing assassinations. Yes, I am mad at even the fact I can’t do assassinations because they keep getting stolen from me.
Im honestly not even sure I can play keep playing Halo 5 for much longer because I don’t care if I loose one or two games but 9 in a row is to much. I have even resorted to quitting because I honestly can’t take it. I play these games to relax, to have fun and unwind. So far, I just can’t seem to do that with Halo 5 anymore.
My skill isn’t a issue- at the very least I can go even most games but I tend to at least break 1 or 1.5.
So honestly I can’t seem to find out what the issue is. I don’t have many friends who play Halo 5 and even so most are super competive and I don’t like playing so competeively.
I just can’t seem to enjoy this game alone anymore. And very sadly if I can’t find out what’s causing my win/loss average to go down and these loosing streaks to continue, I’ll just have to stop playing Halo 5. For my own sake, not because it’s a bad game but because I can’t enjoy it fairly.
We’ve all been there, and it really does suck. But in time, something within you shall click. And when that happens…
…you’ll become a force to be reckoned with.
When you solo queue, you do put yourself at the mercy of matchmaking for finding reliable teammates. And unfortunately, some players are just not reliable. Now I certainly don’t think that you are getting the short end of the matchstick on purpose; it sounds like you have just been extremely unlucky. Honestly, I think I lose more games than I win when I match alone; it kind of comes with the territory in team-based gameplay.
I would suggest sticking to social games if you are queuing solo and worried about your stats. That, or play FFA. I can understand how it must seem unfair to you that you are not getting put on winning teams, but objectively speaking it is neither fair nor unfair; it’s just chance. Statistically speaking, there will be a bell curve of solo matchmaking where most players will fall in the center of winning as many matches as they lose, but there will also be smaller numbers of players that fall on the ends of the curves who win more than lose, or lose more than win. Unfortunately, you’ve been falling on the left end of the curve.
Since statistics is all about numbers, I’m sure that if you keep playing, eventually your luck will turn for the better. Whether you have the patience to stick it out is really up to you; unfortunately, no one can do anything to better your luck at solo matchmaking. Of course, you could also seek ways to not solo queue; find Spartan Co. members to play with, use LFG services, add friends from Waypoint or good matches you have, etc.

I appreciate the support and encouragement but these losses happen much to often for me. I can average 15 kills 7 deaths if I don’t try to hard yet I seem to be unfairly matched a lot. My opponents usually are of the same skill but my team doesn’t seem to be. I had a guy go 0 and 11 and while there is nothing wrong with that if that’s your skill level, but that’s not where my skill level is at.
Given your current state, it’s best to chill out with a few social matches (Infection, Community Action Sack, Grifball, etc) and Warzone Firefight. Don’t force yourself to play the ranked gamemodes only - that may only build upon your frustration.

Your absolutely right. Trust me I know I will loose games at some point playing Halo. That’s just how it is. I hate to come off as a sore looser, and while I can accept that it’s just chance, I have noticed changes in my Win/Loose ratio. I know as I log more hours that’s opt to change but over a few months its dropped 3 percent. I had maintained a 51% for much longer than that.
I know matchmaking alone is guaranteed to bring its own troubles and my best chance is to match make with people but I don’t really have anyone to. I’m very shy by nature and like playing alone. That’s just my preference.
Now it can be said that I’m only bringing this bad fortune upon myself by matching alone, and perhaps that’s correct. But it has never been this bad before for me ever.
I don’t blame 343i or the players (aside from the “A” holes) but this is a problem for me. After long days I just want to relax with this game. I like to play online, to try different things. While players are another topic for a different day, my experience with matching has been brutal and it makes it hard to play when it’s my 9th or 12 loss in a row.
(I should note that I haven’t lost 9 games or 12 recently but two months ago it has happened)
