Join in Progress and Impacts on Rank

Since the stats for the ranking system are already being tracked, I’m just curious to know whether or not losses from joining games in progress will be counted toward the rank (assuming that win/loss is in fact one of the factors).

Can anyone here confirm whether or not these games are counted? It would seem unfair to have your rank lowered or held back by games in which you have no control over the result.

i can’t confirm but i’m more concerned about backing out to the menu after a game counts as a quit and quits have traditionally impacted more on your rank then loosing.

Well about 50% of my losses are from getting JiP’ed into an absolute landslide, so I hope not… they just get to get rid of this -Yoink-

I would have thought that 343’d have implemented a sorting system that prevents players from joining nearly finished games.

But surely they’ll at least sort the issue of rank being affected by join in progress.

They could just add a ranked playlist where no guests or join mid games are allowed and thats for obvious reasons.

heh tell me about it.

Just tonight I was thrown into a CTF game with the other team 3 flag caps ahead with no chance to win. Then I got thrown into a dominion game where I was literally the last man standing and got killed by the entire enemy team all at once. So yeah, that game consisted of me dying once then game over.

JIP has and will continue to mess up win / loss and possibly even the trueskill.
