lets talk ranking system (advice for 343I)7

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

I would first like to congratulate 343 Industries on the massive leap forward they have come from halo 4 to the curent halo 5 guardians. The beta is incredibly fun and adictive, however there is one thing I would like to discuss and that is the ranking system, so far its clear that the halo 3 1-50 ranking true skill system is the fan favourite, the system implemented in halo 5 guardians currently is okay but suffes from issues.
The system is really inconsistant, so I win 7 matches in a row or something similar and I am gradually increating my ranking tier, im gaining points towards this teir by about +7 each. Now after my first loss, did well btw 24 to 2 deaths not that horrific XD im deducted -83 points!!! Iknow this is beta but this is incredably glaring to me. Also I want to say that the SR ranking should be increased to SR 150 to SR 200 or just copy and paste Halo Reach’s system entirely. The great thing about halo reach’s system is that to the casual player the new symbols ment something, seeing the new symbol felt like an achievement.
If the new competitve ranks are here for the more competitive players there needs to be another system for casuals otherwise the is nothingnmaking them want to continue playing. This was a big problem with the master chief collection, there is only so much mindlessly killing can keep your attention without xsome goal in mind and the symbols achieved this goal.

hope 343 will take this into consideration…

The RNG that is the ranking system isn’t “okay with some issues”. It’s “blatantly uncorrelated with any measure of success in a game”.

The only time I’ve seen a -86 was when I dropped from gold 2 to gold 1, rest have been -20.

The ranking system is honestly so weird. I won 8 of 10 placement matches yet I was placed in silver :/. I constantly match up against gold players who, not to sound cocky, I consistently beat. I also have more wins to loses than most gold players I’ve matched up with. Not complaining, just find it strange is all.

If anything it’s at least a step up from Reach ranks and Halo 4’s SR. It’s a step in the right direction, and I can at least tolerate it. If you win, you go up, if you lose you go down. Yeah it sucks going 25 and 5 and losing points cause your team was bad, but that’s how 1-50 was.

Call me a Halo 3 kid, but I miss 1-50, those long nights screaming and breaking controllers. Ahhhh the good ole days.
