I’ve looked through some of the old posts and I couldn’t quite find the answer to this. Currently I’m ranking up but it seems to rank up only slightly. I will win a match and the rank bar goes up about a 5th of the way. But if I lose a game it’s dropping about half of the bar??
My team won 6 out of the last 9 games but I dropped rank rather than went up in rank. There were a few games I did pretty well (Ex:15 kills only 8 deaths). Anyone know why I have to win far more games to rank up vs lose once and drop down half a bar?
I think it depends on what rank you are currently at. Ranking up from diamond 4 to Diamond 5 requires a much higher W/L ratio than ranking from silver 2 to silver 3 for example.
There are a lot of variables, and the visible rank has less to do with it than you would think. Menke used to go into great detail back when he was still with 343.
There is a hidden MMR that shows your true rank. If you beat a team with a higher MMR, then you will see a considerable jump. If you beat a team with a lower one, you will gain very little. If you lose to a team with a low MMR, then you will also see a pretty large drop.

That seems weird. Why wouldn’t you be able to see your true rank? Who would want to see a rank that isn’t actually accurate to where you really are? Isn’t that both under and over deceiving? Is there a way to view this ‘hidden’ MMR?

You used to be able to send a Tweet to Menke, but at this point I doubt there is a way to see it. Maybe on a site like Halo Tracker? I believe the main reason is that a raw true skill number is not something that devs like to use as the player facing rank for various reasons. ( player confusion, to help deal with smurfing, etc…)
