Yep. It’s a big issue. Happened to me a few times yesterday.
I really don’t know why they even bother to start a game with a player missing. Just abort and let us search again.
Or do something to fix it. Let the player join back in. Remove a player from the other team to make it 3v3 (or rotate their extra player off the bench with each kill). At the very least take the power weapons and camo off the field.
Even though your rank isn’t shown - you still have a rank. It’s just not shown because it’s a bit volatile (your curve is wide again) and can go up and down a bit dramatically.
If the player already has a season under their belt, the system has a pretty good idea where they should be.
The Season reset pushed everyone down a division.
And seeing that you’re CSR post placement is a conservative ranking (it’s on the left hand edge of your MMR curve) then you’ve down pretty well. You should rank up a couple of Tiers reasonably easily as your curve narrows back down.
As I mentioned in my previous post… they could at least attempt to even things up a bit.
Don’t start games that are 3v4. Remove a player from the other team or put everyone back into the matching pool.
If someone does drop out give them a chance to join back in (if it was a crash).
Don’t leave us 3v4. Rotate the extra player off the bench with each death so that it’s always 3v3 on the playing field.
If you are going to leave it 3v4 then at least remove power weapons and equipment. It’s hard enough being down a man without the enemy using their advantage to go camo sword.
If you ask any streamer or high Onyx player they will tell you that the only thing that matters in Halo Ranked games are KDA and secondly Damage Ratio (how much damage you do to how much you take). As one 2100 Onyx put it to me this week, “Yeah, man, you gotta slay. Everyone knows that.”
Well, I guess I didn’t want to believe it because only 1 Ranked Game mode is based on KDA (Slayer), the rest are objective based (KOTH, CTF, Oddball, and Strongholds). What this does is it creates a system where no one ever wants to play the objective and instead just goes for KDA. I have been in multiple games where no one will pick up the ball and just stand around it.
It’s really a dumb system and makes no sense. Why would anyone create ranked games that are 80% objective based, but not reward players for actually “playing the objective”?
Not to mention the ranking system makes no sense. I have a 75% win rate in my last 12 games and I have not moved at all. I inch up and then fall off a cliff.
I’ve tried to give this game so many chances, but 343 is just not listening to their every dwindling base of players.
right? I was playing for ranks and I know im a bit late to this party, but I just noticed this, I won three squad ranked arena in a row and my level didnt budge. I mean im not the best player, but, unless you are doing single player ranks it seems unfair to base all your points off a solo performance when I definitely contributed to a Big W 3x
