So after reading the recent update explaining the Halo 5 competitive ranking system I am still trying to figure it all out. I figure there are a total of 32 ranks or what we more call “levels”. It breaks down like so
Bronze - 6 ranks
Silver - 6 ranks
Gold - 6 Ranks
Platinum - 6 Ranks
Diamond - 6 Ranks
Onyx - 1
Champion - 1
I wonder how many wins it will take to go from a Bronze rank 1 to a Bronze rank 2?
Also, I read that “Losing games will cause your progress within a rank to decrease, but you will never drop down a whole rank from losing.” Does this mean if I achieve let’s say, Diamond, I will never drop below that ever?
My understand is you will never drop completely out of the division. You can drop from Diamond 1 to 2, 3, 4, etc, but never down to Platinum. At least that’s my understanding.

Essentially you could be say, Gold 4. If you go on a losing streak you can lose that and go back to Gold 3 and all the way back to Gold 1. But you can’t derank to Silver division.

Okay, so that means that the first 10 games of your Halo 5 career are the most important because you will be placed in the tier that your skill belongs. Then from there it’s all an uphill battle. I guess I’ll be jumping in to MM with my sweatiest buddies to have them help me get to the highest tier right off the bat haha.

No.
The first 10 games of each season places you in a division and then you move up and down, but never down out of your starting division. Seasons reset every month as of now. So after the new season starts, 10 new placement matches.

I mean, there kind of are levels. but they are in multiples of 6 and once you pass a multiple of 6, then you can’t go back down. I realize that I’m speaking numerically and these emblems are just that, emblems. But we’re more used to a 1-50 level scale so I’m trying to wrap my head around how this translates to two things:
How many games will it take to go up one rank? Surely it will be harder rank up the further along the scale you get. ex. Harder to go from 36 to 37 than it is to go from 5 to 6.
How does a Gold rank translate on a number scale? What will be an average rank?

Ah that’s good to understand how seasons work. So that basically means that there will be a level reset every month?
No one will really know until you play. There may be an article floating around that goes into more depth but I can’t find it. Basically it works like League of Legends sort of. You’re placed into a division (Bronze 4, Gold 3, Diamond 2, etc.) Each of those divisions probably has some sort of win/loss ratio you must achieve to advance to the next. It may even be dynamic where it is based off of total player average win/loss ratio in the division. So you may need more wins to advance in one season than the other. It’s all speculation but I’m fairly certain this is how it’ll work. But yes, the higher you advance, the better record you will need. Idk how they would translate, maybe CSR has a number associated, but as of now, it’s a name, not a number.

They made a post on Teambeyond that said there are multiple variables behind the scenes that are also determining your score (MMR), and your placement.
The ranking systems is roughly based on ELO. Basically, once in Bronze, Silver, Gold, etc, you CANNOT drop out of the “Named Material” Tier. You can go up and down say from Gold 3 to Gold 2 or 4. You CAN go up from Gold to Platinum. Those rankings reset after seasons. Once you get to Onyx and Champion, you see your “ELO” represented as a number. If it is the same as before, it would be equivalent to leaderboards, highest/lowest is best in the world.
The "Named Material"s will have some sort of distribution. Arbitrarily, Bronze - Diamond may account for 95% of players, Diamond being top 10%, Onyx top 5%, Champion top 1%. I doubt the general public will ever know the exact distribution, but it will be something along those lines.

This is probably about the best explanation you can get.
