I would guess that it is due to you not finishing some of your ranked FFA games. Your most recent FFA game shows you as the only one who didn’t finish and no kills in that game, which sort of looks like you quit because you weren’t doing to well.

Quitting, especially in ranked play, is never good; you should always finish your games.

Okay, I get that I quit games - sometimes often. But how, when my teammates quit, and I am left to play for 10+ minutes outnumbered - is it a ban-worthy offense for me to also quit??

I think that’s -Yoink-. Nobody wants to do that, just sit there and get pummeled because your team quits on you. Of course I’m going to quit if it’s 4/3/2 on 1. There needs to be another option, i.e. ā€˜your teammate has quit the match, you can choose to leave now without being penalized, otherwise continue and be penalized if you quit at a later time’. I’m not perfect, and I’ll be the first to admit that yes I rage-quit too, but if there is a legitimate reason then there needs to be another option.

Just played AGAIN, and it’s the SAME -Yoinking!- THING over and over again. How is it MY fault that my entire team quits?? Now I get banned for it?? Whoever designed this logic has -Yoinking!- -Yoink- for brains. The only thing I can do is just fire my gun and spin in circles, because if I quit? Banned. If I just sit still? Banned. The decision makers here are clearly complete morons.

You know that noone will help you if you just swear.
So calm down.
It can happen that you can get loopsided matches,you just need to hold them out.

Many have proposed a ā€œforfeitā€ option - which needs to be implemented by 343 ASAP, to cut short blowout games.

Also, it would help if they didn’t reset the ranks so often… from your game history it looks like a lot of the quitters were brand new unranked players. You should be playing with/against players who already have a rank, not so many unranked players.

But neither of those ideas is really on-topic in this thread, so I’ll leave it there.

On the other hand, you clearly had a few games where you rage quit. if you hadn’t rage quit the 2v2 games, you could still quit out of the 1v2 games without getting banned. Moral of the story? Don’t rage quit. Only quit games where you actually are stuck in a 1v3 or something.

You haven’t finished 16 out of 51 matches. That’s just under a third of your matches. You can’t expect that kind of behavior not to be met with a response by the automated ban system. If you regularly finish your matches the occasional match where you have to quit (or simply choose to) will not be met with a ban.

Right, and can you see out of those 16, how many times my partner/team quit, and I was just left outnumbered to play?? That’s my POINT.

I just counted. Of those 16 DNFs, looks like you were the first one to disconnect or rage quit 8 times. That’s half your DNFs. If you had stuck it out in those games, you wouldn’t have as many DNFs on your record, and wouldn’t be getting such harsh bans.

That aside, it does look like there’s an epidemic of quitters/leavers in those games you’ve been playing, either on your team or on the enemy team. Perhaps that’s somewhat common in the bronze/silver/gold ranks…? The only possible solution for a ranked playlist is to punish leavers even more severely, to discourage that behavior…

Also, it might make sense to give harsher quit bans for players not yet ranked in a playlist, to penalize people who just jump into a ranked game, then say ā€œf thisā€ and bounce.

So if the ban reads 24:16 it’s 24 minutes 16 seconds? Forgot to back out after a game. It’s so easy to do this especially when I’m not playing a ranked game. I’ll just finish the game, set down my controller and go out for a smoke forgetting to press b. I thinks it’s kinda harsh to punish people for stuff like that especially in social playlists. But I appreciate the dedication to fairness in matchmaking. Sucks when people quit out but I don’t think it matters all that much in social. Might be something to look into. Thanks for answering my question in advance btw.

I really do wish that there was a social slayer option like halo 3 5v5 unranked slayer. I love slayer but I just cant get into the whole ā€œplay really hard to get to diamondā€ mindset Half the time I feel as though I am pared against players of far superior skill, I’m not looking to go 23-3 in a round but I do want to at least be positive and for the past month I have not had games where I felt I was pared against players of equal skill. I recently returned to Halo and my have played about 3 or 4 months now but yeah this last month has been meh as far as ranked goes.

I was ā€œbannedā€ for quitting too many games, but only quit 2 doubles games where partner dropped immediately, then completed a match before being banned. Are you kidding me?

The ban system has on round delay,so you got for the two DNFs and not the finshed game.

I haven’t play Halo in weeks and I just conected to the game it doesn’t let me play I suspect I might be banned or something. If I’m banned how do I know for how long.

Aw man, I was banned for 6 hours for idling out of too many games. I didn’t know Halo had gotten so lame. I actually have a life. I’m not 12. I have things that require my immediate attention. I used to play a lot of Halo. But I stopped when 5 came out and didn’t have split screen online multiplayer. I don’t understand why it’s not like all the Halos before. What is the point of having a social and a ranked if there’s going to be strict super serious neckbeard rules for BOTH? And most importantly, I don’t care to hear from any of your serious players who think I don’t deserve to play a game if I idle out occasionally, betray sometimes, etc. So, now that Halo completely sucks, does anyone know of any similar games but where bans aren’t handed out like we’re MLG or some insanity. I feel a bit like all the little kids I trolled hard in CE 2 3 Reach and 4, finally grew up and now they have chronic butthurtz and influenced Halo to have strict rules to protect all the 6 year olds from needing therapy from getting naded by their own team.
