I’m not talking about getting mad because someone teabagged you or betrayed you, or trashtalk or whatever.
I’m talking about an arena game where two of your teammates tell you they are derankers, and do nothing but jump off the map to their deaths the entire game.
After submitting avoid this player reviews, I search for a game again, and get paired up with them again for a second game of the same thing. Their player scores are getting into the negative 30’s and 40’s, but the other team isn’t killing them, so it doesn’t make the game end any faster, and you’re outnumbered 2-1.
They can’t really derank me, but it makes for some really long, drawn out, crappy games.
Looking over their game history, it looks like they do it often, and they have a lot of other questionable stats too.
I’m not naming any specific gamertags in a public attack, but I just wondered if there was a way to alert the powers that be to the problem instead of just hoping they stumble across it, or that karma eventaully wins out.
Deranking in Halo Reach serves quite literally no purpose. They are just idiots.
At least in Halo 3 a deranked profile could boost a regular profile, then there was a REAL purpose to the cheating.
The system that Bungie laid in place is one of the most powerful in all of Cyrodiil. If anyone is doing anything wrong, they will be banned in a matter of days. Your predicament, however, comes from griefers. They can be shunned and dispelled by the Halo community, but very rarely are griefers banned.

That tactic would only be valid if they were attempting something epic like this. I’m at a loss to explain their actions if this was not their objective; like everyone else has said, it serves no real purpose in Reach.
The best place to report them is through XBL. Go to your friends list then switch to the tab that shows all the recent players you’ve encountered, then report them. Other than that, put them on your ignore list and hope they don’t show up again.
They are already on my ignore list, and showed up again anyway.
One guy is 85% Onyx, but at first I was at a loss as to how since a lot of his game history has stuff like this.
All I can figure is he does this enough times, it lowers his true skill, and when he gets matched up against someone not very good, he owns them and gets a huge arena score.

Except that wouldn’t really work with the system currently in place, since his TrueSkill (=> Division Ranking) would be based on who he wins and loses against. If he does this a lot, it would just increase his chances of playing people of lower rank, who he would then beat, but as a result of this he would only be stacked just above them.
Maybe he doesn’t know how the current Arena ranking system works. Maybe he still thinks it’s based on individual rating and that by doing this stuff he’ll eventually get a higher ranking when he starts playing properly. It would not surprise me, since the previous developers failed so terribly at communicating how the (new) Arena system actually worked since season 7.
In any case, like others have said, I’d just report him and submit a bad player review.
