GT: A Dirt Licker
1/10/2015 Update: Still looking for high caliber players to team up with. After being inactive for over 4-5 days I grouped up with some new people from this thread and got to just above semi pro 1800 so it’s safe to say that most people who have posted (at least the ones I’ve played with) are skilled at this rank.
For reference, here are some the people from this thread who I’ve played with and can vouch for their skills: Hayterade bC CrY foR Hop3 Blood8888888

That’s debatable.
The ranking system may not be perfect, but the rank system does tend to match you up against harder opponents as you get a higher up yourself. It’s extremely rare now as a semi-pro for me to be matched up against another group of semi pro’s and either of us go 50 to 5 or some other huge win/loss. So it stands to reason that ranks are based on some amount of skill.
But that’s beside the point, none of this matters in the end since we’re playing a game. So why rain on my parade when I want to rank up with some like minded people?

Hence the “Looking for team”. Happens less if you can communicate and know the people

CoDification of the gaming community.
They want to be praised for everything they do.

Indeed, in fact Halo 5’s offers much more differentiation between players at the higher ranks and (will) offers a way to see who’s the best of the best with the top 200 Pro leader board.
I play when I can. My KD is always (usually, some teams I play actually know how to play as a team) positive and I love playing with a team. I don’t get very many good team players honestly, but when I do I average a 2.0 kd with 1.5 a/d ratio. My current KDA is 3.0 though that probably doesn’t mean much honestly.
I have almost made it to semi pro by myself. I carry my team hard usually 15+ spread. Have 10.0 KDA. 3 something W/L. Both used to be higher but teammates liked being spawn killed. Played Halo since CE: Ranked in tournaments, GB’s, ect. Was #2 in the world for SWAT. I play to win. Message me if you’re interested -gt: Blood8888888
Btw I will be online tonight -

You answered your own question

You know, I 90% of the time win and I’m still at bronce, Kind of Weird, Most of my games I finish on top and my K/D is 3.7, really the skill system needs to be “Fixed” so If you dont mind playing with a good player (me) that is still at bronce hit me up!
