Since official release I have massive problems playing ranked. Before the 8th I already played quite a lot of ranked and managed to get low onyx in crossplay and solo MnK Playlists. I was kind of suprised how easy I got there, because while being decent at halo I thought it would be way harder and much more of a grind. Maybe I just got lucky because I played a ton of games directly after release. Until then I managed to keep a K/D at about 1.2 and a decent winrate slightly above 50%. Then the campaign released and I had a blast playing it and now having 100% Legendary completion I hopped back in to ranked. But boy, what the hell happend in my 3 days being absent?

Connection
Now I often get bad connection games while before I almost exclusively played with 20-30ms ping (I’m a EU player). Since official release I am very often put into unfavorable servers. The last 4 Games I had a connection of 150-300ms. I would love to be able to queue a minute or two more if that made me dodge those games, because they feel unplayable. -
Skill difference
Oh boy do I get blasted away now. In my last 20 games I won 3. Most of the games I go negative K/D while I somehow still maintained a K/D of 1.1 for the last 20 games. I understand that I still have to improve a lot, but I am certainly in a skill bracket I don’t belong into, but it is almost impossible to derank. Now I’m forced to play against better players, being a sink to my team who also struggles. It sounds weird, but all I want is to be able to derank so I can have fun matches again and try to improve myself, without a system that thinks I’m a better player than I really am.
Did anybody had similar experiences playing ranked atm? Does it feel harder or more unfair than before? Would love to hear what your games feel like.
