Unbalanced (Rank) Lobbies

This issue is widely known by now. Pro Halo Players and Twitch Streamers all agree. It’s an everyday thing. Why would Halo 5 servers put me against 4 players that all outrank me, and who we also lost to 3 previous times. We were matched with them back to back to back to back. Yesterday, I played against 4 Onyx, with 2 Platinums, a Diamond on my team. I don’t think that “not having enough players” is an excuse anymore, but enlighten me.

What do you think is the origin of this particular problem?

Because the system get the People on Random when there aren’t any player with your similar rank

Because the players are selected randomly is why the lobbies are so Day and Night… that makes no sense, of course the players are selected random, I’m sure it thinks ranks before selecting the player. That’s like telling a Bronze 3 that just played against an Onyx 1600, "oh it’s fine it’s because the system doesn’t recognize any player with your rank.

you spec Better Than me perfect description! :slight_smile:

On Halo 3 you could like a players gamertag for more possible matches with them in the future- the same way you would report a player. May be that those players you played with had liked you like that to boost themselves.
