Why do I go down 5 straight ranks for having derankers on my team every game. Different ones every game. Why does the game think I should win when the other team gets 20 free kills.

Winner of the 2012 Lurker of the Year award.

I'm watching you.

The trueskill system doesn't take into consideration kills or how well you do in a match. It only focuses on whether or not you win the match. That's why it's best to go in with a team you can count on.

Yep. Halo 3 only takes into account: Your skill, the skill of your opponents, how many games you all won and lost recently, who's partied up with whom, etc.
Having derankers won't make any difference. Get into the 40s and there won't be very many.

It sucks that this is what Halo 3 has become. I can remember along time when noone ever heard of a deranker because noone ever did it. The community ruins every game i swear.

I'm out.

Derankers actually help you rank up overall, since they give 4 people a win and 3 a loss. It sucks, but there are significantly less derankers when you get above 40.

Except in Swat I find, for some reason every Swat 50 seems to enjoy deranking whenever I play.

Boltshot = mini shotgun

I admit, it's really irritating. I'm struggling to break a 19 in TS because it takes 10+ matches to go up but only 1 to go down.
And almost every 50 I've played with since I got Reach has been a deranker, by AFKing or just jumping like an idiot.
