Trials = no skills needed: SRL = skill required

Coming in first place in SRL requires 100% skill. It's not an easy thing to do and many have yet to come in first place, let alone complete the quest, and this event ends on the weekly refresh. Guardians must learn both maps strategically and where to properly cut corners and limit how many gates they can miss while dealing with enemies on the map (including that damn Servitor and Hydras on Venus) and other guardians bumping you constantly. Also, guardians have to deal with the blaring of different horns throughout the race. This requires skill that many don't seem to possess. Trials, on the other hand, requires no skill at all. Weapons are broken and everyone uses the same one. Gun battles are one sided depending on who sees who first. Grenade burns can kill you when your health is close to full and melees are sometimes OHK while other times it's not, even when you have full armor. There are videos created showing how terrible the trials gameplay is with questionable deaths and kills. Currently, snipers are being overused because of aim assist that turns everyone into a pro. You also have cheaters who lag switch or do other forms of cheatery to get an advantage. Guardians are also being carried constantly, making trips to the lighthouse be less valuable. Guardians can't be carried in SRL. There you have it. The proof is in the pudding.

  • If trials requires no skill, then why did I go 1-9 this last Saturday? Wait.... Could it be.... Am I... No... It can't be true.... I'm.. I'm... I'm a.... [spoiler]SCRUB!!!!!!! Boo Hoo, sniffle snif... 😜[/spoiler] Also the only reason I won that one time was because after winning 4 rounds straight, the other team started jumping off the edge, so we would "win" a round. They did this until it was 4-4, and then they rushed us, but I still had my FoH and killed two of them while my teammates got the third guy. We couldn't believe it, we laughed so hard.

  • I currently have a 1701 elo, so I'm diamond rank in SRL. https://guardian.gg/en/profile/1/TheGreatNike/29 It does take persistent and coordination not to mess up a race, one huge mistake and you're screwed. I agree with this post, it does take skill to consistently place in the top of the races. ~[i]TheGreatNike[/i]

      • no skill whatsoever. One the first day on my first race in SRL I landed in 1st pace and on my 2nd race 1st place again. There is no skill required in sparrow racing. I finished the logbook couple of days later.

      • Anyone else actually race and then on the last lap, stop and let everyone go in front? I've been doing that and people have been awfully nice about it haha. At first I kept running into the dicks who'd push you off the line at the beginning but as of late, there has been those guys doing what I've been doing.

          Shits cake dude. I played like 4-5 games of that garbage and its complete [spoiler]garbage[/spoiler] I'll stick to crucible. REAL CRUCIBLE. SRL is just a money grab for THEM and an easy way to get a high light level for unskilled players.#satire

        • Only in Destiny can a mini-game turn into "100% skill required." Its not like you're racing on GT bro chill out.

          • You know how most gun fights are won? By seeing the other person first. The rest of your rant means nothing to me...I'm just sick of seeing people talk about how the first person who sees the opponent winning the gun fight is supposedly a bad thing. Seeing people first, knowing where the traffic lanes are on maps...these are skills in themselves.

            • SRL = skill? Not really dude. Even when im not trying i can get first. Its all about what lines you take and knowing on what moments to use your side boosts.
