So im average not gonna lie but I’m not terrible. I can hit 30 to 40 kills at my best games and most games in and around 25 to 30. Most games maybe 18 buy like I said im average with some games I’m terrible.
I’ve one challenge
Win 1 ctf match
and I’ve been playing now with at least 15 games and can’t win. I’ve on average 25 kills but my team are just terrible. Always getting around 5 kills and dying 18 times. Or worse they leave and I get stuck with bots.
343 if bots won’t pick up flags or even shoot back properly what’s the point having bots
Why am I always being paired with teammates with a lower SB than me. Is it because of the gametype and not KDR?
343 STOP MAKING CHALLENGES BASED ON OTHER PLAYERS FFS

Which playlist are you in?
If you swap over to ranked shouldn’t be an issue…

Hell no ranked right now is horrible. If anyone gets shot once they leave.
May be you should help with securing the objective rather than being focused on slaying…then you might actually win a game 
343i haven’t been able to implement SBMM properly for a long time. They make it far too strict in both ranked and socials. Social is a sweat-fest, and ranked is socials on steroids. I agree with ranked being sweaty as hell, because its competitive by nature. But socials should have more relaxed SBMM to give people breathing room. This has been an issue on MCC since it launched in the god-awful state it did, yet 343 don’t actually care. They’re too busy designing medieval-themed armour which no one asked for.

I do trust me. I’m the only one getting the flag. I swear I nearly tossed my controller looking at my teammate walk past the flag and not pick it up from my death screen.
It’s not me playing slayer I’m actually doing the objective
Plus all the aim bot and wallhackers in onyx.
Absolutely unplayable.

So im stuck with people with a lower SB than me because they can’t get a gawd dam flag and I’m running around basically being John wick against the other team while mine fight each other… doesn’t make sense.
Challenges should be strictly based on you playing the game and definitely not have to rely on other players at all
Fair enough…I’ll take your word for it. Do you have any team mates you can play and communicate with? Team work and communication goes a long way in objective gametypes so I’m sure you’d get a win within a few games at worst.
With regards to SBMM in Social playlists, my understanding is that they take the average of the lobby and try to match as close to that for the other team. There will always be outliers of lower and higher skilled players, and you’re probably having a bad run of it queuing solo. As an example, I’m currently P6 but my IRL team mates are high Silver/ low Gold…I find most of the games very easy but they all struggle to break even KD so I’m having to carry them most games and dish out the orders. This could be a situation to what you are experiencing but your team mates are random low level players that don’t communicate and run around like headless chickens.
What rank are you and where are you based?

Only people who leave in my games are when a team gets demolished at the very beginning, like 0-12 or at the very end before a loss.

Thats lucky for you. I must be just getting rotten luck with people who just want to troll. Just had a game of oddball and one player just stood there AFK and when I shot at him to wake him up he started attacking me. I said in the game chat we’re losing play the game. We lost that game over him going around team shooting. He couldn’t shoot anyone because friendly fire was off but we lost the game so quick because of him.
How can anyone load up a game just to annoy people.
I would like an option the vote someone out of a game. Not the booting system like im previous halos. One were someone would have there name put up to be kicked and would only be kicked if they got voted out.
~20 kills is above average, I’m sure! I’ve got to say the casual smbb is pretty unbearable. I guess you’ll eventually win…

Lol that’s usally when I have good ping and I’m in the zone. Honestly I can be just as terrible with only 8 kills and 15 deaths on my off days. Well with the week rolling over again with new challenges again I’ll feel cheated out of something that should be easy to complete…

In terms of individual skill, I’ve rarely found Social games where I come across anyone who consistently beats me in 1vs1s - so from that perspective I think it works okay.
If their design goals are that the lone wolf survives while the pack thrives I actually think they have pretty much nailed it. The issue just comes down to full teams vs randoms
