I recently got back into halo, and I’m trying to grind some arena slayer solo. I was originally placed in platinum 2 in the arena slayer playlist and have been improving rapidly as I learn the game better. With that improvement, one would expect to start getting games with better players right?
The problem is that while I’ve begun to match Diamond (and the occasional onyx) players on a consistent basis, my teammates have not increased in skill (rank wise). The majority of my games will have myself and three other mid level platinum rank players vs 2-3 diamond level and one platinum level player. I can hang with these guys in games, but I i’m not good enough to carry 3 people that can’t compete against diamond players.
So I ask, can anyone shed some light on why the teams are so consistently unbalanced against me, or am I just not understanding something about the ranking system?
