Subject: Searching Solo

Wanted to get some opinions on this. I was thinking of starting a 1 month and enjoying H3 for one last time... my question is, if I searched solo and ran Team Slayer until I got a 50, would it even be possible to get a 50? I've been hearing how derankers are still rampant, as well as how it's hard to find a game in the 20-40 range.

Also, do share some stories of any 50's you may have gotten while searching solo. The only 50 I've gotten solo was in Lone Wolves... wasn't too fun.

well I'm currently working towards a 50 searching two's (Helps when you have two of the biggest matchmaking beasts helping you) and I've only had one deranker on my team in the last 50 games of TS. But that was in the 45-50 skill range so I can't comment on what its like lower down. But yes im sure if you were good enough you could still get a TS 50 quite easily solo on a new account.

Don't even get me started.

I don't think it would be too hard to get a 50 in Team Slayer searching solo, even now. There are a few derankers out there, but the percentage is about the same as it was before, maybe even less. You're just hearing people whine about it more because it no longer really makes sense to derank.

As for 50's I've gotten searching solo... my only one was in Team Snipers. I got it about 7 months after the playlist came out, and this was my 50 game.
I lost my 50 in MLG a few times and got it back searching alone, but I didn't actually get to 50 the first time alone so I won't count that.

That's a very kind offer meags, thank you :) I'll add you in a minute.
Just as a bit of background info I have played about 49 games of TS with my friends since being a 45 and only lost 4. I've only gone from 45-47 :/ and I currently have about 9 wins on my 47 from playing With Dom on his 50 the other week.... The trouble is that prob didnt help a massive amount as the system expects him to win ya know.
But yeah I most prob wont get crazy kills at 50 high but I also tend to survive and not die much so bar the odd laggy game, I go positive. :)
