Isn't Ranked Just Swell?

Isn’t ranked supposed to be sweaty and competitive?

And the games shouldn’t be strictly 50:50 otherwise nobody would get a chance to move through the ranks.

And there will always be “upsets”. Even a 20:80 game should be a win to the underdog in 1 out of 5 games.

And therein lies the problem.

343 present the CSR as something to grind when it’s not.

It could easily be fixed by better communication. Show the versus percentage at the end of the game so that the player knows straight away who they beat (or lost too). It won’t take long for people to learn how it works.

And then have an XP to satiate that “I played well” feeling.

Why show the “versus percentage” in the end of the game? Why not in the beginning so we know what we’re up against.? I also think that if a team makes the other team quit they should gain the equality of what the abandoned players lose, not a sliver of csr… that is more of a blowout than anything

Interesting idea.

But I wonder how many people would quit if they were too low.

Or even too high (not great for ranking up).

Hence the fallacy of the ranking system… I thought you said the ranks were relatively even?

I have more of a MM problem. The higher you get, the more smarter and objective players you get. I play at Onyx so almost every higher onyx player plays objective unless i get the lower ranked players. I’m still matching with plats at Onyx rank. It’s a laughing joke, 343 has had this problem since H5 where we would have the most uneven ranked matches, especially in HCS Solo Q. It’s pretty annoying. 343 has never fixed it, I doubt it’s gonna get fixed too. They can say they’re gonna fix this but it’s 343 guys.

Were you talking to me? It notified me that you were replying to me for some reason lol

Are people seriously saying people ranking up because they’re a TEAM of 4 is a bad thing?

The ranking system comes down to if you win or lose, and how you perform in the match. win and loss being the bigger factor. It’s not rocket science.

If you’re struggling, look for groups trying to play in the xbox app and look for solid teammate.

If you’re going in solo you’re screwing yourself.
