I'm gonna try to put this gently due to the fact that you said to keep the hate out of the comments...
The #1 skill required for trials success is consistency, and due to your KD I simply wouldn't feel comfortable relying on you to get kills.
That being said, some people simply won't get to the Lighthouse, and they shouldn't, it's for the crucible players who are good enough to achieve it. I don't agree with carries because then it's no longer special, then everyone's done it. Trials is a crucible raid, either you can do it, or you can't.

Trials is a crucible raid, is definitely not a fair comparison. Dude I'm good at raiding now but at first I was terrible. But the difference is in the raid if you learn the mechanics and work at it consistently you eventually get better and faster at it. Now this trials thing is a whole different animal. Me I suck at trials but my kd across the crucible is positive but for the life of me I just can't get trials. Constantly being matched up against diamond tier 2000 plus elo teams doesn't teach me anything but how to get my ass stomped into the ground. I'm dead before I can even gather or even begin to formulate a plan against these phenomenal players. Now before everyone yells "Git gud scrub", just know there are people out there working on shooting jump shots in basketball diligently but they're not walking on the basketball court and beating LeBron in a pickup game. For me this is what trials feels like. Sorry for the wall of text but it's just how I feel.

My point is tho my kd is also dependent on the ppl I play with. If I cannot find decent chill adult players to play with and every group I try rage quits on a loss no matter how well we do; How am I supposed to raise my stats? Ive played with ppl supposedly way better than me and outperformed them. Ive also seen "good" players AKA lone wolves just leave everybody to rot. They go on their own get all the kills and leave ur to die or are nowhere to found when u need a res. They yell at you for dying but in a team game they are only playing for themselves. Ive been with 1500+ elos who go entire matches with 0 res while us other 2 had at least 3 apiece. My point is my stats suck cuz by the time I've acclimated to new group they are back on LFG looking for greener pastures. I need friends or a clan. No matter how hard I try I only find jerks. My poor stats are not entirely my fault. Especially when u tell ppl a hundred times not to res u or to push res and u get res sniped 3 times in a row. WTF am i sposed to do about that?

I agree with that 100%. And that's why I have trouble judging on KD and whatnot. Best of luck to you tho. And a tip, if you can run with friends that you can coordinate well with, do it. And find a sniper. They're essential to trials.

Direct me to a mature clan that does trials and does it well? Even when I do poorly k/d wise I'm still communicating and doing other essential things for a team to win like resing. Ill go down with a ship and kill myself if it means a W. KD doesnt tell the whole story. I need ppl who talk not yell and help not complain. Help does not = bark orders and live in the past. Too many good players I met are too busy talking about what everyone shoulda coulda woulda done, that they're not focusing on the new match going on now
