Is true skill broken? i keep getting shoved into games with sr45+ and i’m only sr20ish. Its really annoying to constantly get matched in games that i don’t have a hope in hell of getting positive k/d…just blam blam blam headshot dead again =(
Their rank has nothing to do with their skill, just that they’ve played more. Though, I can’t comment on trueskill being broken or not as I don’t know.
Ok I decided to take the liberty and look at your service record
ok the reason why is simple
you have gotten wrecked pretty bad in a lot of matches
but because you score so highly when your put back into your comfort zone your sent right back to the skill set you were having trouble on.
basically heres whats going on
you are as of now in a skill zone that is far higher then you actually are
but the skill zone right udner you is a lot lower then your skill zone
your stuck between 2 skill zones and sadly neither fit your style
Heres how its working so far
if you do realy great in a match like top 3 your sent up a skill zone
if you do really back like bottom 3 in at most 10 matches if it doesn’t change you’ll go down a skill zone
if your in between those numbers you stay in the skill zone your at.
> It’s working for me. When I do great over a series of games my teammates either get dumber or my enemies get smarter/have more communication.
Hopefully this will be the trend. As people actually get better they should notice that their matches are getting more and more challenging. Soon people will see that there is no need to see the “rank” of the other players because their skill will be obvious in the game.
The only purpose of TrueSkill is arranging matches. It is not and was never intended to be a goal to strive for.
Yeah lotta matches I’m going against SR rankes 2 times the size of mine. While SR means jack the game is putting me in awful Join in Progress games where I am literally the only player on the other team against a party that was clearly spawn killing. I just leave and keep trying to find a decent lobby.
The trueskill is working great … too great for a ‘social’ type playlist in fact. The point that Join in Progress loves to screw you over a lot when you play alone and put you against full teams while not calculating it’s shoving you in a lobby by yourself.
I think once the CSR playlists come out they need to make these normal playlists a bit more relaxed in trueskill so we have our ranked and social playlists again.
If trueskill truly were working and was applied very strictly, after playing lots of games most people’s K/D ratio should be around 1.0.
I think trueskill is working but it’s applied very loosely. So for example if someone’s true skill is 15, they might be placed into games with people who have trueskill levels of 5-25. This is what it seems like.
Halo 3 had it all. A proper ranking system for those who wanted to play competitive, and social playlists for the rest. Why take away something that works? It is indeed frustrating only to play against sweaty campers when you have your BK friends playing as guests.
I think the try skill is working too good! Haha I was dominating the first few days. Now im getting out shot more often then im used to. I do still manage to go positive though

Just so we are clear, we don’t have that backwards, do we?
A ranking system like that for team games causes nothing but selfish play.
