I have been playing Halo for a long time now and the ranking system of halo 5 is absolutely terrible. I am currently a Gold 5 under the gamertag Brandino Mane. My performance is completely overlooked when being ranked. I continuously am paired with teammates who either don’t know what they are doing, they quit, they suck, etc. How am I supposed to rank up with this constant pairing???
The enjoyment of the game is going away entirely. I am not being matched with people of my skill level consistently which puts me in a downward spiral that is virtually impossible to get out of.
There needs to be a two token allowance a week that you can spend that matches you with top players if won levels you up significantly or if lost drops your rank. To dig out of this ranking system is nearly impossible and quite frankly annoying as hell.
<mark>You(G5), 10-12</mark> - Gold 6, 10-13 - Plat 3, 10-15 - Plat 2, 9-10So to recap, over the last 10 games of the HCS playlist that you have played, your record is 4-6. You have consistently lost to any/all Diamond players you have played. Also, in most of these matches you’re on the bottom half of your team’s scoreboard. (I’ve highlighted your row in each match for ease of visibility.)

Good lord the burn on that one. I have to agree though, looks like it’s working just fine.

Everything you said is correct, but I want to point out something I noticed in his game history that is concerning. He had 4 games playing against a Diamond level player while having 0 games with a Diamond on his team. That seems odd to me.

Why is that odd? A lot of those games he was with the same teammates. He won’t get a Diamond randomly on his team if he’s playing in a party that isn’t Diamonds.
And there was never more than 1 Diamond in the game, and they were low Diamonds. That means they could have been playing like Plats at that point. The line between high Plat and low Diamond is not that large.
To a degree I agree. I just played a game where I outplayed everyone, went 19-15, but was on the losing team so my grand performance was for nought. If I outplay the -Yoink- out if everyone, shouldn’t it be that my rank goes up? Instead my MMR goes up, so I get into harder matches with more of a likelihood that I’ll rank even lower.
Personally I think we need to revert back to the halo 3 ranking system. Start at 1 and work your way up! Also we need a credit system like halo reach to buy the cosmetics that we want! And we need military ranks! This whole I am am a SR 98 is kinda lame
The halo reach ranking system is horrible just bc u have to go through bs just to unlock everything and it takes along time.i looked up how long and it said 3 months straight no breaks.halo 5 isn’t to bad

Halo 5 uses the same ranking system as Halo 3, with minor differences: Numbers get split up into tiers and the top end is opened up passed 50 (in Halo you could rank above 50, but that was never shown).
Also worth noting that your SR is purely progression and has no bearing on skill based ranking

However instead of working your way up to lvl 50 all you need is 10 placement games and then you’re already there! Also it resets every season which gets old in my opinion.

Not exactly. It predicts your skill faster, rather than having to grind up. Means that you’ll be getting into your skill group quicker and not be stopping lower level players for ages. 50 is around Diamond 4 from memory, not everyone is going to reach that after their 10 games

You’re thinking of the wrong ranking system, but do you really think it takes longer to rank up in Reach? Going by what you said, it would take 90 days straight to reach Inheritor. Taking the Reach credit cap into account which I believe is 200K now (used to be 120K), it would take me 75 days to get from 151-152 in H5. Think about that. It takes 20 million credits to reach Inheritor, but to reach the rank of 152, it takes 50 million XP.
You have a point with the armor, but what do you think would keep you motivated more to keep playing - Armor or just an emblem? At least in Reach we got the Haunted Helmet once we got to Inheritor. A lousy emblem isn’t worth grinding to 152.

That wasn’t really the point I was making. I’m just saying that having a decent reward like a helmet or armor for example is a lot better than just getting an emblem for reaching max rank especially if it’s cool looking. Even if you don’t like it, it would still have more value than an emblem would considering how much more uses and exposure that you could get out of it.
