Those who go 4-15 daily. Why do you play ranked?

I think this game curses me with teammates. I’ve lost 5 games of slayer in a row because I always get a teammate who goes 4-15. The most amazing part is they’re level 140+. How have you spent so much time playing this game and you’re still god awful?

Because I like to troll players like you. It brightens my day :slight_smile:

Sometimes it be like that, man. I’m level 152 with a 4.3 KD/A and even I go terribly negative. Sometimes it’s just bad matches, or i’m rusty as heck because I just woke up or got home from work.
Sometimes I carry the team with 26-0, other times I lose 3-13. -Yoink- happens

I also really want to attest to the power of “off days” or other outside factors not considered. I genuinely enjoy playing some of the ranked playlists and when I get into a wave of playing them I will just play it even somewhat casually. Maybe I’ll play to relax after a long day with maybe a drink or two, or perhaps groggily in the morning right after I wake up on the weekend trying to get my day started with a quick match or two,

Sure, I somewhat go into these matches somewhat expecting to get a tad creamed but that doesnt mean I am having a bad time, plus I figure If I can learn to play with the occasional handicap then I will be just that much better when I am in a competitive mode (not sure if this logic actually holds truth, but its what I often tell myself lol).

I will likely never be a Champ and I have accepted that, unless I get a phenomenal season with an FFA playlist but I think Mythic Slayer may have been my last chance at that before Infinite and the rank system is glitched for some reason. Because of that going down in rank here and there doesn’t bug me so much anymore, I’ll climb back up if I really want to.

Because i took a dookie in da toilet and needed to go afk. NO CIZZY

I hate dealing with my teammates being crap in Slayer; I don’t do ranked anymore due to them being so. I don’t care if they’re max rank of not, I actually want to win a match without dealing with sweats throwing my games. I’m usually the one that has to carry them most of the time though so what am I supposed to do at that point, lol. If you’re chilling that’s understandable, but can you not be a trash when you’re chilling though?

What in the hell does NO CIZZY mean?

Nobody takes the game seriously anymore me neither, I mean it’s 6 years old… let’s wait for Infinite

Low player population so it’ll match whoever is on. Btw, spartan level is not the same as their competitive rank. They could’ve spent most their time playing firefight and occasionally play ranked.

Easy solution is to have a fireteam.

Compared to Halo 5’s dying fanbase, I doubt you’ll find much within this game’s community. The LFG posts are dead; primarily revolving around stupid clan RPs, I doubt there isn’t much of friends playing Halo 5 anymore due to this game actually being dead when Infinite fully arrives. You’re better of soloing this game’s pvp-aspect than actually having a bunch of friend helping you. Plus, you can’t really expect much from the community due to all of the toxic players that have a god-complex and boot players willy-nilly when their feelings get hurt.

This is the more serious answer I would have given. Stuff just happens.

Think about it this way, if someone is consistently going 4-15 in ranked, they are probably having a worse time than you because the game is not putting them in the right matches either.

Agree with this 100%. I recently got booted in grifball for a couple of betrayals I did accidentally while going for the enemy team. Kinda pissed that people kick even in griffball

Maybe someone who isn’t as skilled as you wanted to play some Breakout or SWAT. Ranked isn’t made for certain people, anyone can play it, no sense in gate-keeping my man, people have fun regardless of how well they do in a game or in general.

I used to care about my K/D back in the day but now I don’t bother with it, gaming isn’t a job unless you are trying to become a professional player.

That’s like telling someone they should quit trying to make art when many others are better at it.

the SR rank means nothing, i guess people have good games and bad games, sometimes I end up 1st and sometimes last, or maybe u´r match-up against better players.

Have you tried sending them hate mail? In all honesty though that’s just part of the game. Get a mic and make friends and party up. I rarely solo que anymore because of this.

I’m just chasing that sweet feeling from the past when the population allowed a lobby around my skill and on a server where they took some kind of damage. Madness I know

Can be many reasons. If I match Latam even though it’s 50 for Texas it’s 300 ping for me so I’m struggling. People also change sens to much I think and lose muscle memory. Bad games bad days etc. Low population equates to bad matchups.

You okay?

My guess, these players used to play H5 a ton, and were probably pretty good then. Now they want to get ready for Infinite, so they’re coming back.

But getting back into H5 is SO hard after stepping away for a long time. The meta has changed because people are using H5’s movement mechanics in far more advanced ways than even just 2 years ago. What used to be Onyx level movement tricks are now basic requirements to be effective in platinum :confused:.
