So, I just started playing this afternoon. Played a total of 6 games, 3 of which my team won, the other 3 of which my team lost. In one of those 3 lost games, 3 of my teammates quit out leaving me alone to fight 4 opponents. I started playing a 7th game, which a teammate also quit out of, and then I left when I was invited to join someone from my fireteam. That’s when the banhammer hit, but I’m not here to talk about that, although, it shouldn’t have hit since I was already banhammered a few days ago after quitting out of 3 games over the span of a week. The banhammer should have reset to 3 games before it struck, but it did it after one game this time.
So, back to my original point. Shouldn’t there be some leniency given to ranks when the odds are stacked against remaining players during a match? For example, I’m probably going to rank Silver after all is said and done this time, whereas I should either have been Gold or Platinum, if teammates hadn’t quit causing us to lose. The rest of us shouldn’t be ranked lower because of that. How should this “unfairness” be addressed? Or is there already a “fairness factor” built into the ranking system?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Don’t bother with the 4v4 playlist unless you have a team of four. Quitters have ruined the 4v4 playlist. Ban Hammer isn’t near strict enough imo. I wish they would pool all the quitters together and just let then play with other quitters.
idk what theyd do. the banhammer seems to be threatening most, but it seems that lower level playefs dont care. From what ive heard 343 is implementing mm preferences, so that may help
I get this a lot when trying to rank solo. ranking with a fireteam is also tough because it could put me in a higher rank then my “true rank” so i just get
pwned if I play solo…tough situation…i wish they lengthened the seasons
Yeah ranking in fire teams is also not accurate unless you are all of the same skill level or you always play with the same fire team every time.
But at least you know they wont quit (unless the drop out.)
The ranking system is trash! No real feEl of accomplishment and no reason to Bragg which in reality keeps people trying and not quiting they need to bring back the trueskill 50 ranks from h3 so it really narrows your opponents and always bragging rights and keeps the big dogs interested because for me onix is boring to get and once your there your just a randomized number not really but to me that’s how it feels it’s not as fun having seasons
Doing placement matches after rank reset will suck for about two weeks. After that its probably better to do your placements where most people got their ranks.
Monthly resets are getting old quickly. Ranks are jumbled up for two weeks while lower level players get to be the test monkey for high level players. Then you maybe get two weeks of playing people your actual skill level before it resets and you do it all over again. And that’s not even counting all the smurf accounts where a Gold 1 goes 20-5 against other Golds.

ISN’T NEAR STRICT ENOUGH?
If you leave a single game, banned after the next game you play.
What do you want it to be like? The game senses that we are thinking of quitting and automatically bans us for even just thinking it?
Jesus Christ man.
Games Like Call of Duty have ruined matchmaking. IN Call of Duty. You can leave and not receive any penalty for leaving the game. Which a majority of players on XBL have played CoD and it has given them this sense of “I dont care”. So it ruins other games especially Halo where the ranked playlist doesnt auto fill that position. Quitters are the worst and I have a block list that could go on for miles because I block all the quitters.

The Banhammer really isnt strict enough. You should be banned for like 30 minutes instead of 10, and it should happen every 2 games you quit rather than 3 and it should take 1 week to reset. But this is also a problem for people who disconnect due to server or internet issues. So that just means they would need to make it only for people who quit the game. Not disconnected.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t discriminate between quitting the game or getting disconnected due to internet issues. I once got disconnected twice via my internet provider and I got banhammered for almost 2 hours the next day after I played one match. I even wrote 343 about it on this forum, but nothing was done to reverse the ban.
this sums up the ranking system pretty much
i do not see how this is fair. me and 3 randoms against that…
and i didnt even talk about this
that guy clearly is nowhere near the other ranks… why is he being put in this match…
The ranks are broken enough as is without even adding quitters to the mix. Went from Onyx last season to Plat3. 7/10 wins 4.6 KDA, yet I see someone with a 2.3 get diamond 3 and a 0.0 KDA get the same quality as me. Like wtf is going on with the constant changes each time I qualify at the start of a season.
There is no balance to it period. Its a jumbled up mess at the beginning. I’ve been stuck with a Onyx CSR in Swat since preseason and I wonder if that’s been throwing my placements off or what.
Here we are 7 or 8 months later and we are still unsure how the ranking system works…
They need a playlist for single fireteam members for arena and warzone. Maybe it would alleviate the farming in warzone.
I report em, and block em.
4X4 games should cancel when someone quits…4X3 is NOT a game. Of course, today I played 4X4 where the CSR imbalance was 10/27, so it might as well have been 8X4. STUPID waste of time. Do they have coders at 343? Can I donate some time to write a CSR balancer…like 5 minutes for a MatLab patch?
Seriously, why do people quit? Is this one of those weird “stats collector” scams? I don’t understand the motive. Also, why are there motionless players half the time? I’m having irrational thoughts like playing local 1X1 against my wife would be more satisfying than screwing around in hacker/cheater filled WarGames.
At at any rate, I finish my games, just check my record for all the 5 vs 8 BTB games I know I’ll lose.
Correction, first game CSR imbalance was 14/39, the next game was 10/27.
Maybe I just answered my own question. If I see a 4X4 match with >2to1 imbalance I’m quitting. So idiotic.
Is the matching better for teams? How does that lobby work?
