I keep matching smurfs/boosters and teams. So usually im playing against teams with a “gold” smurf player on their fireteam so i get very little xp for winning and lose a lot for losing to a “gold” as a diamond in HCS.
Being that you mentioned HCS playlist, I would imagine it’s geared for teams; since teams compete in the HCS itself .
In general, there should be more of an xp gain for arena. But you do raise an interesting point; players gaining extra xp for searching alone would incentivise solo searching. You should refine this idea and make an actual post about it for the future of halo 6 
i mean matchmaking can be harder for people solo searching
Why punish ppl for playing together? Just because you don’t have people you can play with doesn’t mean you should be rewarded

Solo players don’t deserve to be punished either.
Randoms are all average players vs a higher ranked organized team.
**Teams have easier games…**Solo players woud get something to compensate for much harder matches. (Bonus xp)
