I love you

So when I play arena, I see people ranked in the gold divison a lot but when I look at their stats, they have like a -2000 K/D. Is the skill level in Halo actually that bad, or is there other ways to get into a higher division. I destroy the people in arena most of the time so I think I should go onyx easily. Can someone explain why terrible people are gold?

First not that many good players play arena anymore, second your division is based off W/L and no your k/d and rating so a bad player could get carried all the way to a high division.

Ahhh I see. personally I think W/L is stupid, it should be on personal skill so that way -K/D people can play with -K/D people so I can have a challenge. Thanks for clearing it up though.

you're rated based off the people who play the playlist. Since noone good plays arena anymore, all the terrible kids and at the top. i just played one game after not playing season 10 at all and im somehow onyx still and the kids at single digits now are awful.

So in theory, I could possibly be "the best" arena player?

As others have said, its based off win/loss and how many/who plays the playlist.

Even back when people played it, garbage kids could get onyx. The idea was Onyx was a "50" and 1%'s were the best "50"s, it didn't turn out that way, since legit "35's" could get to Onyx.

While no one good plays Arena anymore, those who do are still better than you lol
Oh ok, that's really interesting. Thanks for the info. Now if you'll excuse me, I have this thing called a life I'm gonna get going to.

If pro is the opposite of con, then the opposite of progress is...
