My thoughts about the ranking system

The changes I’m proposing probably won’t make their way into halo 5, but it would be great to see them in future games
Also, I’m only talking about ranked gamemodes, I have no idea how we’re matched in casual ones, even if I think we have some kind of hidden rank in them too

Feel free to agree and disagree about my opinion, and tell me why I’m wrong

First, I don’t really mind if it’s 1-50 or bronse1-onyx in the end, it’s just the wayu of showing it

But I think the ranking system should be less about win/lose of games, and more about how you do in these games
You lost a slayer match, but you had 30 kills and 10 deaths? Why should you go down?

I think the ranking should depend on personnal stats (win or lose impacting in all of them, but have a lesser impact than what we have right now)
Slayer should be about KDA
Team arena a mix between KDA and gamemode-related medals
swat, KDA all the way
free for all, position, but also KDA
Double, KDA (it’s slayer with less players anyway)

Why KDA instead of K/D ratio? Because it can happen that you have games with 4 kills but 16 assists, and it would not be as penalising with KDA
(for those who don’t know, KDA is Kills - Deaths + (assists / 3) assist/3 being rounded down
