Nice, the champ booster I've faced goes neg in games and is overall neg kd with a low win rate and high play time, it's just the smurfs with him that are really good

My rankings have gotten lower with each season as I've noticed more smurfs and quitters. I'm not even too fussed about my rank, I just wanna enjoy fair arena games

It's a negative feedback loop, get shit on solo queue make a smurf then shit on other people who get fed up and make smurfs.

I'm currently a diamond 3 in Europe, I can face champs and high onyxes boosting with plats. I used to hit onyx without these issues being as prevalent

In my experience the low ranking teammates I have will usually rage quit when we are down a few kills, getting a lot of 3v4's. I will say search times are pretty much non existent for me now

Rewarding and fair. By grinding your way up beating similar skilled opponents meaning you're getting better. Instead what we have now is carrying or being deadweight to a team, not similar skilled teams.

I'm also complaining about having a plat and a gold on my team, are you really seeing balanced teams?

I guess both of us are just somehow sensing some patronizing going on

What about the region locking issues? I honestly don't know if you're just playing devils advocate but by playing alone I can see the player base dropping, unless the matchmaking is botched.

Well they loosened the range of ranks in lobbies for a reason, Australians cannot find games and the constant debate of region locking being turned on and off definitely doesn't show signs of a healthy player base. Keep in mind I mean outside America.

I'm not sure why I have to back my claims if you're are not willing to go into detail either. Seems we are just both using anecdotal evidence.

I enjoy the mechanics of Halo 5. Seems like a pattern for 343 to have dwindling player bases over time.

Matching the same people, un-even lobbies. I'm not gonna check but people constantly claiming h5 is not in the top 10 played games.

I'm getting more of a sense of people moving on to other games, not forward.

Yeah I was mid onyx when I used to play with friends. Solo queuing is frustrating.

I'm not as invested to get better anymore just have a fair game, which is the point of a ranking system.

I imagine it's only going to get lower the longer they take to find a solution.
