If you're solo the game will force you in with lower ranks depending on how good you are/how good you have been doing.

Thank *truskill and hidden mmr.

The only way to break out of the bubble is to group up and actually coordinate, and then the game will put you against people that are a higher rank, forcing you to get good instead of punishing you for doing good.

It seems to work for me.
There are definitely good randoms in plat and I assume you're one of them. If you are then you have higher chance of having more good people on your team since you are guaranteed.
If you truly can't stand playing solo just play a couple games and invite people who do good eventually one will accept.
>>148399732
You should lose less and gain more csr if you're matching higher ranks because hidden mmr. Eventually you'll rank up.
You can definitely rank up solo you just have to keep trying.

>>148400121
Oh yeah I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm just saying if you have a crazy win streak going or something, the game is more likely to put you with shitters so you can "carry" them, even though that's not very fair to you.

Takes longer to rank up solo because of this but it's possible

>>148400121

>>148400272
>He could get shitter teammates from now to the end of eternity, and it's within the realm of possibility.
It's possible but not probable. my advice was to play more games because every game played makes your scenario less likely.

>>148400260
Sure it may take a little longer but it's definitely not close to impossible.

Not him, but he'd have to get non-shitter teammates greater than 50% of the time, and since half the randoms in Plat are good and half are shitters, the strongest possibility is getting stuck where you were placed.

It all started about a week ago when some autist made a thread early and filled it with drama (in the fucking thread title) and literally spazzed the fuck out when his thread got defeated by the other thread. He spent maybe 2 hours desperately trying to get people to come bump his thread. Pic related.

That seemed to open the floodgates to autism. Now it's just constantly people arguing about what other people like and why their opinion is shit. Warzone Firefight hasn't helped either. You have people that consistantly criticize it but then refuse to play anything else.

This general is fucked.

>>148400884
That's also not necessarily true.
While it becomes less likely, it can still only give him shitters.
For example, since probability isn't fixed I could flip a coin ten times and get only heads.
If there's a fifty-fifty chance of being lucky or unlucky, it's relatively unsurprising to only be unlucky.
We'd also have to assume that people in said rank are at least as good as him, which may not necessarily be true.

You can't beat autists.
Oh sure, you can score minor victories like winning a thread war, but the autist will be right back the next thread and make sure he wins.

Even if there's only one or two autists devoted to a cause, they will usually win because they have no other commitments in life and will sit on the thread and shitpost constantly for literally hours.

I think for the autists here, the thread numbering was the last straw. Most people clearly didn't care (for the record, I don't see the point. We didn't have numbering before, why start now? Granted it's not a big deal so I don't care really either way) but there was one kid that was so fucking mad. For whatever reason that number triggered him to no end. We had a lobby going on at the time and we all couldn't stop laughing at how much this kid was showing his autism.

I don't know how to fix /hg/. I don't think we can fix it.

Until it becomes common practice (it may never as long as there's people that get triggered by numbers) it's going to be off and on for a while.

Guy that actually went through the threads here.
That's false. We nowhere near averaged a thread a day until recently.
In the winter and spring we had threads lasting 2, 3, 4, even 5 days.

Also, I appologize. I never meant to throw the thread down a black hole of controversy. Although I will say I have never made an OP.

>>148400998
That's ignoring his claim that he is a good plat. Assuming he is a good plat then that gives him the edge probability wise.

>>148401223
>While it becomes less likely, it can still only give him shitters.
Yes but it's improbable. I did some back of envelope calculations. Assuming a plat player is good with 50% chance* then there is a ~63.7% chance he has the stronger team. If he plays 100 games the probability of him being on the weaker team more than 40 times is only 1/5. And it's almost assured he will have more strong teams than weak teams.
*I'd guess it's than 1/2 that a plat is "good" but the lower it is the more advantageous it is to him.

The idea that you're just unlucky with matches and your team is always holding you back is only plausible if you've played a very small number of matches. Hence my advice to play more matches.

>>148403816
>That's ignoring his claim that he is a good plat. Assuming he is a good plat then that gives him the edge probability wise.
Except that Plats get put up against other good Plats, and that they also play against Diamonds, Onyxs, and sometimes full teams of Champions.

I've been bringing up customs all week and every time I do everyone is too busy arguing about... whatever you're all arguing about now, it seems to have been getting worse every day.

Obviously when I say "everyone" I don't really mean all of you. It could be 2 people for all I know. The point is it's clogging up the thread and my notices go unnoticed.

>>148403901
>Except that Plats get put up against other good Plats
So? The matchmaker doesn't have it out for you personally so if you're truly a good plat then over enough games you will come out ahead because your team is more likely to have more good plats.
>and that they also play against Diamonds, Onyxs, and sometimes full teams of Champions.
This can be frustrating but I don't think it will stop you from ranking up.
If you're plat and you lose to a full champion squad your csr shouldn't go down at all.
The same idea applies to the rest. If you're plat and you lose three times to full onyx squads then beat an onyx squad you'll come out ahead rank wise.

>>148404428
Yes you do.

Did you never check the postgame carnage report after a match? Your progress is almost like a stamp book from old Pokemon TCG tournaments. If you win, you get a green triangle and if you fill the bar, you rank up. If you lose, you get a red triangle and can rank down to the minimum grade of 1 of your division. If you, say, have a green and lose, you lose that green and any from subsequent losses until you're back at zero.

At risk of intersecting myself in an argument, I'm just going to say that's not true.
How far you rank up or down is relative to the ranking of the people you beat/that beat you.

I've beaten people ranked much higher than me and I've shot up almost 2 whole level ranks. Likewise, I've lost to people who actually are ranked better than me and I'm hardly penalized at all. However, when I lose to people I'm ranked better than, that's when i see the hurt.

Other Forge maps, such as Deadlock and Pegasus, have been updated with more colorful pieces and textures. Perhapsch the same could be done with Guillotine

tbqh the worst thing about Guillotine's visuals isn't the bland textures, it's how the large object count causes the resolution to scale down severely and look all jaggy. A non-Forge map wouldn't have that problem.

What it lacks is a decent minigame to pass the time, really. In previous MMOs, I've seen stuff like lute-playing with customizeable sheet music, Triple fucking Triad, holo-chess, omok, and hints that Hearthstone could run through WoW at an inn.
If I have to grind so much, let me spend all that extra glimmer on stuff like card packs for a fancy chess set to fuck around with in the tower or in orbit. Most people already play phone games while waiting in orbit. Just give them an official one.

Marty was especially vocal about it during meetings, so they fired him because he became a "negative" presence

Evolution mostly doesn't go for the simplest option, it goes for what works best. Because otherwise it wouldn't even really work, would it.

By the way, might I say that you've dropped yourself in it. You keep complaining about everyone who is diamond and below and there's only 1 onyx player this season, so you're either one of the diamond since you're saying diamond is "ok" or you're the only onyx player this season

Because you think someones rank means they instantly have no idea what theyre talking about when it comes to game design and the obvious majority of arena content being clearly competitive. Implying you need a high rank for either of these

>Because you think someones rank means they instantly have no idea what theyre talking about when it comes to game design and the obvious majority of arena content being clearly competitive. Implying you need a high rank for either of these
Your rank and stats definitely helps to show your amount of experience on the subject and in some cases, it might even your personal bias and resentment towards it.

>Yet youre always the one asking for gts, at least he posts his >inb4 thats not me!
Oh irony, if you only knew the number of times people have demanded for my GT.

But honestly, why does anyone care? Kai, red, and pizza are just a few fucking retards out of the hundreds that post here, and don't even give me that "but he's muh company massa" shit. It's just a game, bruvs, and the majority that post here seem to think that these shitheads mean anything. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it's the most autistic thing yet when you all contribute to these faggots.

Strawpoll fags need to play halo instead of bitching

I guess I'll say this:
I'm sure if Kai and I sat down and discussed Halo wed come to disagreements on some things. I'm sure if any two of you sat down and discussed Halo, you two would disagree on things.
If you anybody really wants to know my opinion on anything, just ask and I'll tell honestly what I believe.

That being said, I am looking at Kai's service record now. Anybody that played Halo 2 Online is cool with me.

>>148441047
I'm waiting for the Tidal fix before I play Halo again. All I need to do for my map is add lighting and spawn points, but there's no point when I can't actually play the map.

>>148441047

It's all friendly banter :)

>>148441191
What is your issue with it? I know that every time I make a map on tidal (small to medium size), it crashes when I render lighting

>>148441110
>If you anybody really wants to know my opinion on anything, just ask and I'll tell honestly what I believe.
Do you consider people stuck at Platinum to be bad?

>>148441326
The same issue. Light baking is broken and takes an unusual amount of time. There's meant to be a hotfix at some point, but it's been about 3 weeks now.

>>148441191
They have been too secretive and taking too long on that Tidal fix. I'm getting some TMCC PTSD right now.

>>148441398
>Do you consider people stuck at Platinum to be bad?
I guess it depends on where you draw the line between "bad" and "good", and I believe that line is both situational and relative. I don't think it's one line that can be universally drawn.

For example, in High School, I ran track. If my mile time was over 6 minutes, that was considered a "bad time". But for most Americans, or hell, most people in general that don't run track, that would be a phenominal time for them. Even today, if I ran a 1-mile race today, something I haven't done in years, and got a time of 6 and a half minutes, I would consider that a good time for me today, so you you see how these things can change.

The whole point of having a ranking system is to determine where you belong. If you're in Platinum, that's how good you are. For that person, what's "good" for you in a game of Arena might be "bad" for someone else.

So, to answer your question, do I "consider people stuck at Platinum to be bad"? Well, for me, I'd be disappointed because I know I can do better, because I have done better. I'm always challenging myself to do better. But for those that have never made diamond, I don't think they should hold themselves to the same standard.

>>148442439
Your argument is generally flawed.

There are such things as objectively bad.
If you can't even last 10 minutes with a girl during sex, that's bad.
If you get a college GPA of under 3.5, that's bad.
If you have a K/D in any game mode of under 1.6, that's bad.

>individual stats reflect skill in a teambased game
top laff

>>148443274
Which is funny since most of the time you're paired up against much higher ranks and no matter how good you do, if your team screws it up, it's a loss. ffa is the closest you could get to actual skill but I don't know if anybody even plays it anymore

>>148443489
>my team's holding me back!

>>148443274
The ranking system is actually pretty good at determining how good you are, even in team based games.

>>148443489
If you lose to higher ranks, you're hardly penalized at all.

No system is perfect.

>>148446386
Sure but a system that can't even rank you properly when teammates leave you early is shameful.

>>148446530
Yes but in practice that's rare enough that it doesn't really impact ranking much.
I'm not sure how they could fix it, if you nullified results when someone quits people would abuse that.

>>148446909
>I'm not sure how they could fix it
I like how Overwatch handles it. If a person leaves pre-match, the match is ended. If they leave anytime after, you're allowed to leave with no penalty. I'll happily go back into a search queue if it means I get ranked properly.

>>148447104
Shut up bitch!

>>148447104
Are we not supposed to talk about Halo in /hg/?

>>148447145
People would abuse it by having one guy leave whenever they're close to losing. Especially with alts you could do it with no repercussions.
I guess you could make the quit penalty apply to everybody in the fireteam?

Would the winning team gain csr if the other team had a quitter?

>>148447145
That's a surprisingly decent system, as expected of Blizzard

What happens to you if you leave at the middle of the match?

>>148449008
I'd assume you take a rank hit or get a temp lockout

>>148447434
It'd probably be best if it made the match null, but that wouldn't exactly be fair to the other team

>>148450289
Yeah, nothing is perfect so I find raw win/loss to be pretty good system. Especially given rarity of quitters at least in my experience.

>>148450474
It's definitely the most stable way of doing it.
I don't like it, but I'll accept it.

With the release of HW2 i think it would be nice if they made a "Brute Update" for Halo 5 with old classics like the chopper, spiker, brute shot and mauler, maybe even one of those new Banished vehicles.

>>148453804
>even though its is going to be literally the same

Like the Covie Carbine and the brute plasma rifle?

>>148454221
The covie carbine wasn't brought back as a "classic weapon". The only "true classic" weapon is the CE magnum while the SPNKr, BPR, Beam rifle and H2 BR are more like updated versions of those classic weapons.
