Team balance/Ranking system

[Porpoise]

When I eventually find a game in the Halo 2 anniversary playlist, I always seem to get paired with absolutely horrendous team mates, and I usually always end up losing because of it. For example I went from a level 9 to a level 1 this morning after 8 consecutive losses. Every one of these games I has to carry my team but unfortunately not to victory. I think there should be a system in place to either not register the loss for the player who is top of the losing team or just prevent them from being demoted. I'm not complaining about the ranking system as a whole, but I think this tweak would be great, because right now, as a good player searching solo, the game is not very enjoyable.
