Ever since the last update, most Randoms (aka people that aren’t in a Fireteam) have been getting matched with people that go ham. The down side is that these randoms are going at least -15 and only drag the team down.
This is is mainly due to improper Warzone matching. Higher level players with lower levels. This is unfortunate for both parties because lower level players go against higher level players so they keep dying, which prevents them from learning and getting better. Higher level players are more susceptible to losing because their teammates die, giving the other team higher REQ levels.
And before you bring this up, let me tackle it first. This has been a problem before Christmas so this isn’t a Christmas noob problem.
Remember I’m not calling out any players or 343 employees. I just want to know what you guys think and if any change should be made regarding how Warzone matches players with each other. It was confirmed I think before launch that there would be a hidden rank but that seems to not be in effect. Let’s keep this discussion civil please (I know how much salt is in these forums haha)
Well, you should always remember that war zone is a social playlist, meaning that there are no ranks involved. You could be Champion 1 and get on a team with a Bronze 1. It’s all just random when it comes to social.

Even with hidden ranks I doubt they’re tight enough to stop a champ from playing with golds and such.
What is your issue exactly? That people are going negative or negative by so much? Someone’s gotta go negative for someone to go positive. Warzone will need a rebuild to really fix this issue cuz the current version isn’t going to work out how I think you’re wanting it to.

People go negative. It happens. It’s when people go over -10 that I have a problem
