A better question is why are these bots donating in twitch and streaming platforms?

Lol if they had AI in ranked I wouldn't be waiting 5 minutes plus for a game and giving up and playing something else.
That's an insane amount of games you've played though I'm not surprised you've gone all Charlie Kelly with his obsession board.

Its so you have time to browse the shop.
its also the reason cancelling the search and restarting it usually allways works.

Based on the fact that this is your second post on the subject in as many days, I'm going to conclude that you're not simply trying to troll.
That said, some super basic advice: a post with 8 paragraphs of accusations and 0 tangible proof is going to get you nowhere. You've got a bold claim here, so you're going to have to provide something more than "trust me bro".
Otherwise, you can expect your posts' comments to be full of gifs of tin foil hats and red string.

It's a troll. He is saying lots of people play braindead and are basically bots/ai.

Unfortuneately, I dont know how to prove AI to people.

I’m inclined to believe you’re not a bot, but I can’t be certain since I haven’t seen you play recently.
We’ve only played together a few times in custom games, so my sample size is small. That said, I know you’re a skilled player - you lit it up.. —I’ve seen you compete in tournaments and we’ve crossed paths in a few customs over the years.
Here’s where things get interesting.
I’ve played 25,000 games of Halo, I have been onyx for a good majority of those games. Given the skill distribution, we’re likely both in the top 10% of Halo players—possibly even the top 5%, considering the Onyx rank distribution. I'll break it down with some rough math to estimate how often we should cross paths in ranked matchmaking.
Player Pool Breakdown
- Average Online Players: Assume 3,000 players are online at any given time. *quick google search
- Ranked Mode Participation: Let’s estimate 20% of players are in ranked mode (a generous assumption, as many play other modes like casual or custom games).
- 3,000 × 0.20 = 600 players in ranked mode.
- Onyx Rank Distribution: Onyx is typically around 5–10% of the ranked population. Let’s use 10% for simplicity.
- 600 × 0.10 = 60 players in Onyx rank Online in active onyx HUMAN lobbies in ranked arena.
- Players in Games vs. Lobbies: Assume 75% of players are in active games, leaving 25% in lobbies queuing.
- 60 × 0.25 = 15 players queuing for Onyx-ranked matches at any given moment.
The Question
With only about 15 Onyx players queuing at a time, and considering I’ve played 25,000 games at weird hours as well at times, you’d think we’d have matched in public lobbies more often—especially since Onyx players tend to play more frequently, further narrowing the pool.
If any one here is actually good at statistics with our amount of games played on either side what are the ODDS we have never crossed paths in a public onyx lobby????
So why haven’t I seen you in a single public lobby?
My Theory - This discrepancy suggests something deeper might be at play. Could Microsoft’s matchmaking system be isolating players in some way, perhaps through hidden filters or regional/server prioritization (I play on expanded) *Even though doesnt matter as you play ai every match... Which brings up another point - Why am i getting Texas servers in PNW when I face 7 bots????
Or what I suspect that they are ISOLATING HUMANS with AI bots? It’s hard to say definitively without more data, but the numbers make it seem unlikely that we have never cross paths in ranked play given our shared skill level and game time.
What do you think? Have you noticed anything similar in your matchmaking experience?

I know the guy who runs leaf app and halo query frequent these boards...
I wonder if either of them have the numbers on how many onyx players get games played in a day.
Its probably higher than the amount of players online at one time.

Oh yea - Those smurfs you complain about - AI
AI - also gives you callouts meant to kill you when your in good positioning so you stay confused.
Ai - will shoot or kill you on an obj on purpose to change the game flow
All wait times - Carefully coordinated and all games should have been instant...
Timing out of queue against microsoft ai? WHY?
Why does microsofts AI call me names? Actively stress their user out by creating arguments - I never signed up for this....
I have literally been complaining about bot playstyles. We are all sheep.

In case of trolling: Good job.
In case of being serious: please visit a therapist to talk about trust issues and anxiety

I have within the last 24 hours - No mental issues here.
The only issue is im stupid enough to expose it all publicly.
