Social having true skill but no actual ranks

Games Other Halo

Okay theres no ranking system Ex: 1-50 or Bronze-Onyx. BUT there is a very strong true skill in every playlist.

I’m playing social. Every playlist is social. I level up my SR whether I win or lose or if I play spartan ops or custom games. So why am I being put against good players every single game. I literally have to try my balls off every game. What happened to playing guests, which I have played one time on halo 4 out of like 150 games. I’m playing social infinity slayer I dont want to try my hardest every game.

And don’t get me wrong I enjoy playing good players when I choose to ex: ranked halo 3 or Arena in Reach. But if I’m playing social slayer, where I still level up for losing, then I’d like to have casual games where I can just play and not have to play like I’m on the main stage at a MLG event.

And riddle me this 343 forums. What exactly is the true skill based off of? KD and your SR level? Or is it based off wins? And if I play with a friend who just got the game then what? Are we going to match people who win as much as me and/ or have a similar sr/kd. Or are we going to play new players like him. If we match my true skill how would it be fun for him to play halo 4?

My solution, drop true skill in social like it was in reach and halo 3. Add ranked playlists or something like Arena.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. Having the TS effect on every playlist is just ridiculous, I don’t know how high my TS is, but it seems I only seem to play with randoms who take the game very competitively, against a full party.

I get a lot of hatemail if I play drunk with friends and drive around with a mongoose or hog trying to splatter people just for fun.

Ranked/Social division was great idea, now they need to bring it back. Otherwise I want to know how to bring down my TS, because I can’t be bothered to play seriously every game.

Exactly, social needs to be social and ranked needs to be ranked.

I know theyre going to release a 1-50 or something in january or early next year. But, for the time being, why cant they have a few invisable true skill playlists and the rest just be social random matchings.

i completely agree, the problem for me is the game has trouble finding a “happy medium” where the people arnt mlg but they are not outright terrible… i would love a social playlist

I agree. Since i had my tryhard shoes on when the game first came out my trueskill is now high. So even when im trying to just play a fun game now im ranked up against extremely good players. Divide it into ranked and social playlists
