Teams are too often imbalanced on Multiplayer!!!

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

The matchmaking is excellent in the sense it gets us in games quite quickly, and there doesn’t seem to be a lot of lag or long waiting times.

But the teams often seem mismatched, at least in rank form.

Last game it was 4v4 slayer - A rank 8 (me), and 9, 5 and a 3. vs a 13, 11, 10 and a 9.

Is the price of fast games? Imbalanced ones?

Would you all be willing to wait a bit longer so it could fairly balance the games?

Surely even if people are joining together, it could find them a better game, rather than finding ranks significantly below theres?

On Halo 3 there was usually a bracket of ranks that could be matched together. A 3 and a 13 shouldn’t be facing off against each other man!

In 75% of my games I feel like my team is dominating or being dominated!

I understand your point, but surely it’s not too much to ask for people with significant experience to be matched up against people who have only played 2/3 games?

This wasn’t an issue on the other Halos.

Give it time. the game is to new to a good capture of skill. also, disregard the spartain rank. all that means is the amount of games you have played and earned xp from. it has nothing to do with skill.

I have a feeling that’s mostly due to it having just come out and rank distribution is all relatively tight right now.

I mean, maybe there’s some bad rank matching to help improve times as well, but I’d guess this will improve over the next few days.

the ranks you are talking about is obviously spartan rank. that has nothing to do with how good a player is. you want to be comparing csr for your argument to work.

it was absolutely an issue with Halo 4, which frankly didn’t improve until the CSR update.

the H5 system sounds good but it will take regular players getting some time in first.

I really don’t understand why we can’t just got back to the Halo 2/3 style skill ranks that were visible?

I don’t understand 343’s resistance to it. They said before Halo 4 they didn’t want to do it, and know they’re just doing this CSR thing.

I’d like to see a 1-50 skill ranking system back. It’s the most logical way to do it IMO.

Those ranks have nothing to do with skill lol.

Maybe not, but most people who are rank 3 have only played a couple of games. Rank 13’s could have played 30+

There’s still a problem there.

I’m not confused brah.

I personally just really miss the Halo 3 ranking system.

They had is exactly right. You get a skill based rank for each ranked playlists, and an overall EXP based rank.

Like you could be a 50 in Team Snipers, a 45 in Slayer, and a brigadier or general based partially on EXP and rank.
