Remember, everyone gets a trophy and ribbon, because that's what society has come to expect...

Making it easier to get Onyx just dimensions the whole point of ranked altogether. Ranked is there to push people to do what they can to improve themselves and get better at the game. The reward was getting to those higher ranks. Catering to people who refuse to do this is only going to make the Onyx rank, the whole goal of achieving it, less valuable as a whole. Finding reliable teammates, and stop relying on RNG teammates through the matchmaker is an example of pushing yourself to do things different in order to succeed.

Rank is becoming nothing more then a second set of social play lists if they continue down this path. Where the ranks will be nothing more then another progression system where you just keep going up the more you play.

I'm pretty good at Halo, I'm not like the best ever but I do feel this. I would love to hit Onyx abit faster, it seems like such a grind when I solo queue for a few days. But Onyx isn't really the final rank, it's all a number rank after Onyx. So sure you can get to Onyx easy if you grind for a week or two, but what's going to be your rating? And are you going to be in a rating with people higher or lower than yourself?

The changes wont give you more CSR. If you suck you wont rank up. What it does is not punish players for things out of their control.

Hmmm? So if every single losing match a person leaves for any given reason I never lose CSR. If you can never rank down, then all you can technically do is rank up correct?

Also, it's not 100% true that it's out of their control. If you choose to solo queue instead of going out and making friends with reliable players to start fire teams, that's 100% on you. Bad results of solo queuing are more along the lines of consequences for choosing to be lazy.

The changes they're doing is rewarding being lazy and nothing else honestly. This also potentially could bring problems if people start bullying teammates to quit in order to keep their CSR when they know they're going to lose, so it enables toxicity in the community. I believe this became an issue at one point in Overwatch where they made it that rank didn't decrease after a person left so people started bullying others in mass take advantage of it.

the whole not losing CSR only counts if your teammate leaves withing the start of the match. If he leaves later on it will count as a regular match and the person that leaves gets -15 CSR. Thats how it is now. Plus above onyx 1600 you can only duo queue you cannot 4 stack.
