Please fix the ranking system. Whenever i solo queue i can rarely ever seem to win. 8/10 SWAT games in last 24 hours or so that ive played have seen me finish 1st or 2nd place on my team, almost always a positive K/D with on average +5 kills more than deaths, sometimes alot more… This is searching on Balanced so i think that is fairly good. The bottom 2 players usually go about 5 - 15 which gives us the L… i seem to lose an unusually large amount of rank XP for these losses despite usually performing better than most others in the lobby. When i do win, i get hardly any CSR for it… One example i really want to share with you guys are these 2 games.
This game here I lost, I did best in my team concerning KDA and K/D ( which really is what swat requires to be positive in order to win ) Look how much CSR I lose…

The very next game i match most of the same people, 3 of the enemy team from the first game end up on my team. We win by 1 point, I did best in the game concerning K/D and KDA, but finishing in 2nd on my team by 1 kill. I gain maybe a 1/3 at best of CSR back from that win… I am aware beating lower ranks = less CSR, but 2 guys were higher ranks than the guys from game 1( one being higher than me )they even had an unranked smurf with an overall KDA of 9.1 in swat! That doesnt make sense… finishing overall 2nd but easily having best KDA and K/D from that match should have certainly given me alot more CSR?

Now i want to mention the strangest thing… when i queue with a team of 3 or a full 4 fireteam ( still searching on balanced ) we are still matching against roughly the same ( sometimes lower ) rank tier players i would find solo queuing. Some onyx here or there, but was the same with solos. I could finish 2nd, 3rd, hell even 4th on the team and barely break even on my K/D… but the CSR i gain is MUCH greater from these full team games than it is from solo queuing… i cant have a good fireteam, or even a fireteam at all 24/7. Earlier i hit a ridiculous losing streak solo queuing taking me from about Onyx 1650ish all the way down to diamond 5 on swat… for the most part i definitely wasnt the problem… yet i was punished harshly for the losses. One game i played saw me finish 1st on whole lobby uncontested, but we still lost… and i lost 20+ CSR! When i would queue with a fireteam i could do an “okay” finish 3rd and lost maybe 10 - 20 CSR for the loss… and that part makes sense… but not when i solo win. Are there others on here with this problem? It’s super frustrating to play… I’m actually scared to touch my Slayer playlist solo again, because same thing brought that down and im close to diamond again…
Is TS2 expecting me to completely destroy the enemy team single handedly every damn time? Because that certainly doesn’t happen most matches… Actually, ive found it more common that the enemy team have someone doing that to my team! And usually its not the only Onyx player…
Sorry for this rant, but i am sick of this super deranking despite performing well, and ranking very little despite doing really well there too.
Its not even swat im worried about, but its still extremely annoying to deranked so much but continuing to have your playlist KDA rise…Im just worried about Slayer. Gave up on Team Arena for the same reason and i think its going to happen with swat too. This needs to be fixed 343 please… if not now then definitely for Infinite!
Feel free to use the existing pinned feedback thread for this and Dr. Menke can provide some feedback on what was happening with the matchmaker at that point.
