So previously before this reset i would always verse onyx players. In my 10 placements there was onyx players, even when i got D1 every game has onyx players on the enemy team. My matches was also never balanced in terms of player ranks (enemy’s team would usually outrank my team).
Was this fixed? While i was doing good it felt abit off that no matter what there was onyx players on the enemy team and my teams was always outranked, has the matchmaking been made better?
Its too early to tell, maybe youre matching players who are actually onyx level who have yet to get there, the question is will it place you when theyre actually at onyx and your not? Also i noticed nothing really changed but the actual rank emblem, the game already gave me a crash in the beginning of a placement match, its giving unbalanced teams( were enemy team averaged 20 kills each and my team we had only two average 20 kills and the other two 10 or less) but a lot more often now.
You are matched on hidden performance rank (MMR) not visible rank (CSR).
Highest you could place is Diamond 1 in ranked, but they’ve now changed that to Diamond 5. If you’re constantly playing Onyx players then you may be looking to be rated as Onyx in MMR. If your performance is higher than your rank then you lose nothing for losses and gain a bunch for wins until the MMR and CSR balances out.
did they change ranked? i thought all they did was rest everyone
One certain change is that highest placement after 10 games has moved from Diamond 1 to Diamond 5.
They said the ranking would be less generous so that makes me think either the way MMR or CSR is calculated must have been tinkered to make it so players will be more evenly spread across the ranks. Although I have no evidence of this yet.
this game is a comedy of errors, just one after another. didn’t they drop an update today too?
They did, patch notes of it all are on halo support. Nothing major for me.
This game has become absolute garbage. The matchmaking system is completely broken. Add to that, whatever “telemetry” they added has somehow made hit registration even worse than it was.
No. This game’s skill based matchmaking implementation is a disaster. I just played my placement games and almost always the game predicted my team had less than 10% chance to win according to halotracker.
They fixed nothing with this update. It was a pre-planned CSR reset for the original release date of season 2, and that’s all. Everyone kept their same MMR, so everyone winds up about where they were before.
Gaslighting and lies are all 343 are good for.
I quit all 10 of my qualifying matches, getting banned 3 times in the process.
So that’s 10 quits. No KD or Win/ Loss stats.
After game #10, I was placed in Platinum 5.
10 quits- Platinum 5 lol.
If that’s not proof its broken, I dunno what is…
What actually determines the hidden MMR though? Is it just how well you do in non ranked games? I find it abit bad that i haven’t played ranked before and was against onyx lol.
Still haven’t played after this reset though, im not much for ranked due to my unlucky nature (usually get a DC or people that dont play obj) plus im always a solo, dunno if i wanna grind through every rank versing oynx again
Tbf you probably would of been better of going AFK so you can go negative and you might of placed lower.
Not sure why you quit every game though, seems pointless and abit harsh on your team. Last time i lost 9/10 matches and got D1
You performance measured against players of a similar skill.
So if you’re getting battered, your MMR drops until you’re at a point you can hang with the people at that level. Not super reassuring but given time, everyone should get some pretty good games in ranked if they stick with it.
