My buddies and I got paired with at least 3 Onyx players in the majority of the games we played tonight. 2 of us are plat, 1 is diamond one and 1 of us is diamond 4. We weren’t on any sort of winning streak and got it handed to us in each game. I don’t understand how matchmaking is working. This was a problem when the game first came out and then went away for a little bit. Now we just keep getting Onyx and high diamond players. I like a challenge. What I don’t like is getting my rear handed to me by people a whole 2 divisions higher than half my team. It just isn’t fun. It was all night with this crap.
To make matters worse, in almost every game there was lag. I rarely ever lag in Halo 5 but tonight it felt like I was playing Call of Duty. I couldn’t figure out what was going on at first so I decided to start recording my games and compare them to the film in theater. If I have time tomorrow I might toss a few clips together and link the video. Blood and sparks were coming off spartans but no hit markers. I would get dropped by literally 3 pistol shots on my screen. I would put two shotgun rounds into a guy up close and no death. I would walk around a splinter grenade and disintegrate as if I walked right through. I would die to a single grenade. I would throw a grenade and it would hit the ground like a dud. All 4 of us were having these issues.
I go and watch theater and see the enemy not taking damage, us not shooting consistently(they would fire at the normal rate but our semi-autos would have inconsistent gaps between firing). The guy hit by two shotgun rounds only lost half his shield. In theater I still walked around the grenade and just spontaneously disintegrated. The grenade still instakilled me and my grenade was still a dud in theater. It is bad enough that they throw us in against far better players, but then there is lag on top of it. We were getting our -Yoinks!- kicked and it felt like we couldn’t even fight back. I really hope this is fixed soon because I enjoy Arena a lot.

I hear ya. We’ve all got these stories… 2 blasts from an AR across Truth with FULL shields and I die? Nade a guy coming at me and put 3 rounds into his head from a magnum and he still manages to charge me?
Also, it sucks both ways with some matchmaking. Either getting teamed against players with significantly higher Ranks or being on a team with all very low rank players. I’ve been against teams in Slayer where everyone of them is 35+ and my other team mates are 5, 10, maybe one at 20+ even though they have status as gold. Problem is, being Gold, Platinum, Diamond may be earned with friends who can help you out, but when you’re on a random team, the experience of a higher rank earned solo can make a difference in how skilled you are. Just like k/d can be artificially inflated if you keep quitting games.
