So I decided to dig out my Xbox and Play some Halo 5 slayer. The first thing I noticed was a long wait time for a game. When I had finally found a game, I was in a US server. I’m British. In game I thought “damn, these guys are tougher then they usually were before I stopped playing.” When I finished the game with me at the bottom of the leaderboard, I noticed I wasn’t against the standard Bronze/Silver players. I was against platinum. One was even in Diamond. Seems legit.
Is anyone else having this sort of thing happening? From what I’ve heard, Halo 5 is still thriving, but yet, I cannot find a game in a European server.
This happens to me in the US as well. I’m a mid-gold player usually, but I get consistently matched against high platinum and diamond players. Every few games an Onyx player sneaks in as well. Keeps me out of most ranked play. I like a challenge, but not THAT much.

> Well, you’ve been a Platinum before, so that’s why you’re seeing Plats and the occasional Diamond player.

Your previous rankings are what dictate who you play against when ranking. If you had been a plat in the past, you’ll probably play against plats while ranking.
