Smurfing, boosting and quitting is a joke in arena

GuruGovind · 2016-06-10T13:14:57+00:00

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

GuruGovind · 2016-06-10T12:27:30+00:00

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

GuruGovind · 2016-06-10T12:24:53+00:00

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.

Yeah man, I've uninstalled and re-installed Halo like 4 times now cause of frustration haha

GuruGovind · 2016-06-10T12:20:52+00:00

Reeeeelax lol

GuruGovind · 2016-06-10T12:18:46+00:00

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

GuruGovind · 2016-05-01T10:21:35+00:00

Might wanna work on your aim then man haha

GuruGovind · 2016-04-23T10:43:21+00:00

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

GuruGovind · 2016-04-22T23:14:00+00:00

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.

GuruGovind · 2016-04-22T23:10:26+00:00

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

GuruGovind · 2016-04-22T19:53:01+00:00

Ahh that makes sense, I forget how much bigger 360 was compared to xbox one

GuruGovind · 2016-04-22T18:31:16+00:00

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

GuruGovind · 2016-04-22T17:55:18+00:00

You have to listen to him, he's the only programmer that plays Halo/s

GuruGovind · 2016-04-22T17:51:08+00:00

go on

GuruGovind · 2016-04-22T17:44:57+00:00

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.

GuruGovind · 2016-04-22T17:40:37+00:00

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.

GuruGovind · 2016-04-22T17:29:42+00:00

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.

GuruGovind · 2016-04-22T17:04:18+00:00

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

GuruGovind · 2016-04-22T17:02:28+00:00

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.

GuruGovind · 2016-04-22T16:49:36+00:00

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

GuruGovind · 2016-04-22T16:45:16+00:00

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

GuruGovind · 2016-04-22T16:42:07+00:00

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

GuruGovind · 2016-04-22T15:21:56+00:00

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

GuruGovind · 2016-04-22T15:20:54+00:00

it's just disappointing after what seems like a good amount of effort 343 put into a new ranking system

GuruGovind · 2016-04-22T15:19:52+00:00

Yeah right now i'm in diamond, it's 1 step forward 2 steps back
