Tonight Halo 5 was kind enough to repeat the exact same matchup not once, not twice, not three times but four times in a row. This would all be fine if the games were even but we got smacked by 20+ kills every single game… How in the world can a matchmaking system that is supposed to set up games to be as even as possible make the same exact 2 teams play 4 times in row with such a lopsided result each time?? It makes literally no sense. And it’s not even like we were a to4, I was solo queuing and this happened. To make it worse I lost an entire rank from losing the first 3 games despite the other team being Onyx, Onyx, Plat 6 and Plat 5 and my team being Diamond 3 (me), Plat 3 and 2 unranked players. And no the unranked players weren’t good.
2 of the players on my team averaged a combined -21 through the 4 games… I’m talking just sprinting in and getting killed over and over again type of stuff. And the other player went -10 one game as well. I’m repeating myself but it just absolutely blows my mind that Halo 5’s amazing infallible matchmaking and ranking system can do something like that.
I can’t wait for zenfdeal or whatever to come in here and tell me the system worked perfectly as intended. That somehow the system was predicting these games to be close and so decided to do it again every time even though the results were extremely obviously telling a different story.
