OK, I use Focused Matchmaking - starting a game with one Plat and 3 unranked players against 2 diamonds and 2 plats. 1 gold and 3 unranked against 2 plats and 2 gold sixs.3 golds one silver against Diamond 6 and 3 plat’s.And…
The other problem- 145 spartan rank with 3 players between 3 and 9 spartan level, against 4 people between 110 and 148.And…
It’s been happening almost every game.
O yea- the QUITTERS, I was alone or only 2 in a Team against full 4 members maybe 2 of 5 games . It’s happening permanently. Sometimes in the middle of the game someone quite , but actually so many times I start a game and we are only 2 players from the beginning.
I really love to play Halo 5, but after one year I’m piced of from that permanently wrong Matchmaking.
From Plat 4 I’m now Plat 2 only because a quitters.
Yep this matchmaking i so unbalanced and the search preference does not even work. I am Diamond 2 and i am teamed with gold 1 and 2. There is like 3-4 matches a day where everyone on my team is the same rank as i but then the enemy team is full of golds and plat 1 and 2s. And there are those matches where the lowest rank is gold 5 and the highest is onyx 1515. And i hate playing on na servers where my ping is like 300… so frustrating
They can’t do much about quitters… that is the lame attitude of most gamers now a days. To many people raised with every one gets a trophy mentality now they can’t even handle a loss at a video game. As far as the ranks go that doesn’t sound like that bad of match making. I don’t understand what some expect. You won’t get perfectly balanced matches every single time. They seem to put the biggest emphasis on match making times so the game will make games out of the most ready players.
It seems fine to me
looking for someone to say “its better with friends” A game shouldn’t have to rely on a friends list so much to dominate. Time is cheap and the last thing I really need is to be making any more “friends”

You are NOT ALONE here. I could have written this as well as a SR 145 and experiencing the exact same issues. SR 145 seems to get you teamed with much lower SR’s regardless of CSR. Also, the quitting phenomena of entitlement is on the rise—and for those who say “some are connect issues” and “I needed to quit because the house was burning down”, you are a minority.
Send me a message and we can team up together to take our frustrations out on the battlefield!!
The matchmaking is amazingly poor, and so many times when I have complained people have said, “Just play with friends” a game should not have to be played with friends to make it fun, or hell, to make the games more even.
Well for one you dont know what those unranked players ranked last season, they could have easily been diamond or platinum. 2. SR rank has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with matchmaking, I have no idea why you bring it up.
Quitting will always happen, people pout and throw tantrums, welcome to online gaming.

Problem is quitters need to be hit with significant bans/penalties from ranked play and those who stay need to have their penalty reduced. Not many people can win a 2 on 4.
The real issue is randoms getting put against premades. With gamechat barely being a thing anymore any party with an ounce of communication has exponentially increased their chances of beating randoms. This is also how farming and spawn trapping happens as well and it needs to get fixed. And to everyone saying the matchmaking seems fine I was ranked diamond for the first season of this game and I would play a team full of silvers and golds probably because my buddy was either a gold or a platinum I can’t remember. I just slaughtered them. Similarly my friend could and would often get matched with diamonds, and onyxes and get killed.
The matchmaking is crap. You should never go more than 4-5 levels above or below you. By that I mean if you’re a gold 4 you shouldn’t be playing anyone higher than a Platinum 3-4 or anyone lower than a silver 4-5. Playing up to two tiers above or below you isn’t even close to skill based.
