Serious flaw in matching ranked players

Once you reach the diamond tier, you do not play ranks lower than diamond or at least very very rarely. This is a severe flaw to the rank system because it is not a fair accurate representation of matching opponents because now everyone I play is now better than me, or has a better rank. That’s unacceptable to me.

That’s crap. I just played a whole heap of games against Diamonds and I’m gold.

You would prefer it the other way? You dominating on lower ranked players? Make it fun for you but miserable for others?

I was just running solo in Team Arena in plat and I matched diamonds every other game. Idk what you’re talking about.

Check my game history mate and tell me how many gold’s I’ve played in the last 20 games. 0

You’re not supposed to play vs golds and you aren’t. You’re a diamond playing vs plat-onyx. In other words, everything appears to be working fine.

How is that working fine if I play people who are 1-2 ranks (6-12 tiers) higher than me? Seems like a very flawed way of “working fine”

And I’ve been playing people 1-2 ranks above me too. But like Adversity said, you’ve been playing against platinum ranked players. So you have been playing against people lower ranked. This ain’t Halo 3 where you get to pound on noobs all day to inflate your ego.

Wait. So you’re upset you aren’t playing people that are ranked lower than you? Am I understanding that right?

Zero. But you have in the last 10 played against 2 onyx players twice, you were the highest ranked on your team both times, and your team won both.
There were two games where you faced one onyx player and you got smacked… but you had an onyx ranked teammate.

Sorry bro. Looks like its working just fine.

Ah you’re right. I actually thought Platinum was a rank above Diamond. Wow I’m closer to an Onyx than I thought. Well that’s not as bad as I thought then, however, it would be nice if it matches me up against a couple Onyx’s to have a couple on my team more often too.

Yes and no. I was upset that the games weren’t evenly balanced, whether playing people lower or higher than me. However, I didn’t realize Platinum was a lower rank than me so that is more understandable now.

Looks like it tried. The system has to pull from what’s available and probably a billion other factors and do it all through a worldwide search in 30 seconds… its actually pretty impressive

Lol I love how the community just assumes I want to pound noobs all day. 343 really has messed you guys up. Take a chill pill people. Slight misunderstanding. It happens believe it or not. You guys are so rehearsed with your common responses/rebuttals that you can’t see the flaws of the game if they slapped you in the face.

Play like a beast, and get matched with beasts

That’s exactly what I’m saying. There are so many people who obviously don’t, simply by how they rush to judgements and so opinionated in the forums.

PS what was wrong with Halo 3 ranking? I don’t think working to get your level 50’s would be considered bashing noobs all day.

Not our fault the game’s been out for a month and you don’t even know which order the ranks are.

Just check mine then, I’m diamond in SWAT yet it seems all I play against is unranked, silver gold and diamond.

Oh man I haven’t memorized every aspect of this game yet. My sincere apologies. Probably because thanks to this game I’ve been stuck in the same little compartment the whole time…

That’s odd. They must have each playlist different depending on population or something.
