I have this friend I always play with on Halo 5, and we’re both good players, but for some reason, he never does well when I do, and I always do well when he doesn’t. I just think it’s odd that we both never do good in a game. When one of us do well, the other one will often reach down to like a -5 KDA or more. Sometimes, one of us will be doing so good, then the other will start doing good, and the first guy will start dropping. It really feels like the game only wants one of us to win. This has pretty much been consistent ever since we started (I was a level 70 then, and now I am 138) and I’m wondering if this ever happens to someone else, and why it would be. It also seems that whenever we aren’t playing together, we both do good in our own games. Any ideas why this might be?
(This is my first post, so I hope it’s alright)
Unless you guys are seeing some weird stuff in games like enemy players teleporting for only one of you, I don’t think it’s anything to do with the game itself. What I mean is that sometimes it just happens that one will be on top of his/her game and will engage in more successful battles than the other. That in turn means the other player has fewer opportunities to do so or they just don’t do well for some intangible reason. So, a nice TLDR, it happens and it’s nothing to worry about too much if you guys are competent players and good teammates to one another.
I think what may often happen is that in some games, one might just be at the right place and get some lucky kills, while the other is just making some bad moves. I’m sure it’s us, it just feels so weird how it’s always one or the other. Thank you!

You just lowkey called your friend trash right here and didn’t even realize it. “He never does well (friend = trash) when I do, and I always do well when he doesn’t (friend = trash)”, so when is your friend ever playing well? lol
Jokes aside (because I know what you meant), it’s called being inconsistent, a symptom of being human. Aside from that, I would venture to guess that in the games where you or your friend are doing well, one of you is getting a lot of cleanup kills thanks to other. So you essentially benefit off of each other’s bad games. I’d assume that you tend to cover for each other, so one of you ends up being an unintentional sacrifice from game to game.
Hahaha, I didn’t mean to type it like that. Oh well! But yeah, we tend to usually cover for each other, which is good at least
You could both be filling the same niche for your team if you both have the same fighting style you could essentially be fighting each other off the same kills on the other team. For instance say you are both campers and you have camped a doorway of a building with a shotty (this is an international oversimplification to illustrate a concept I’m not saying this is how you play) they your friend comes in and camps the other door with a sword you are now splitting the kills of everyone who goes inside. There are still many who won’t and over time players realize hey there is a shotgun on that door let’s flank him now a large number of your kills go to your friend. This concept can translate to many different scenarios. Can’t do more than guess however without either playing with the 2 of you or reviewing video of you boath playing.
