I use the focus search preference and even still get matches with heavy aim at times. My latency also sucks sometimes and usually refreshing the internet brings it to what is considered decent latency.

For me I rank up slow if I play without a team because the game throws such lobsided matches. Alone i play against even champs and I’m not a champ. That’s while searching on focus. If I play with 2 people that are daimonds we get almost always 3 daimonds and 1 highish plat. If I play quick play I sit back and laugh at the stupidity of the match making.
I’m using the limited edition halo 5 xbox. I think it’s also old as well. My brother has my OG xbox day 1 xbox one. It still works, idk if there is any networking issues specific to either of them. It is also hardlined…but one of us does often end up having to just completely power cycle and unplug our xbox because we experience UI problems, xbox live randomly saying we don’t have xbox live, Mic problems, connectivity problems when we’re in the same freaking apartment, etc.
I experience heavy aim and all that comes with it. It really upsets me sometimes man that’s why I try to not play alone because having another person chills me out. It goes like this.
Match 1 - I feel like my shot is garbage. Can’t aim for crap while it feels like enemies can. I struggle to do well. Winning still happens sometimes. I still get kills and all.
Match 2 - shots are on point. I’m on fire. My accuracy was over 60% …hey…there was an onyx on the other team and he did the worse? Hmm…i guess that’s just halo 5 for you?
Match 3 - I swear that was a 5 shot…how is this dude not dead man? I know I’m hitting him…wth is wrong with my reficle it seems to sometimes feel inconsistent. Bam bam bam pop bam…wth!! Dude die already thats a 5 shot again…come on game! Holy crap…dude legit threw 3 nadez at me at once! How the hell!? Why did the game show the same dude go up the same lift twice? The heck?
Match 3 finishes. I have the highest accuracy. I know those shots were landing, yet the enemies didn’t take damage each shot.
Match 4- damn. It’s 20 to 5 in slayer…I can’t survive at all this match. These guys are for sure just better. Nothing feels wrong, they’re just clearly far better…and it’s part of the ridiculous match making…it’s experienced daily. 3 champs and an onyx vs daimonds. Thanks halo 5. I’m sure they absolutely needed that win.
So sometimes it’s us, sometimes it’s the game. In another thread over this kinda topic I brought up that even dudes like h5 pros bring this up in 2020. Snakebite does YouTube vids and he experienced heavy aim in one of his vids, talked about it in another, and explained why his team mate lethul was upset with the tournament being on console and didn’t end up joining due to that. He knows the games plagued with stuff like heavy aim randomly happening. The vid was uploaded just this past week if I’m not mistaken.
