You did an experiment? What was it? How big was the sample size? So far your experiment doesn't sound very scientific....

You guys have to let go of this game

Freelance trials is the best thing to ever happen to the game for an average pvp player like me. I love it.

1) All it actually proves is that Trials has been, and always should remain a high performance based game mode 2) You're running a 0.67 k/d in Trials - best solution would be to work on yourself first, before complaining about something you, or no one else has control over 3) Run with a team - problem solved

It's more than that honestly. No matter how Bungie cooks up the next batch of trials it's not a game mode for casuals, bots, jims, potatoes, etcs. I am a scrub in crucible, I know I don't belong there. And, when you get matched with people that run immediately into the witherhoard or shotgun blast and die three seconds in, that statement is realized even more. Listen; casuals have to accept the mode needs to be what it was intended to be. The loot isn't for scrubs like me; yes I got lucky and scored some nice pieces, but wouldn't be mad if I couldn't going forward. We don't belong in trials; if you eat shotgun pellets for breakfast, neither do you. Matchmaking is bad, but it will always be bad when casuals think "freelance" will get them flawless. Today I played two matches; went .33 k/d with similar bots that drank shotgun pellets, ultimately 0-5 there. Next match, went 10 k/d 5-0 because I was paired with average or better teammates. I'm bad, I can't handle a 1v2, barely a 1v1 lmao...no damn way I can do a 1v3.

Freelance matchmaking is very strange. It doesnt even try to put me against half competent players. I did a solo flawless card today and finished with like a 7 kd for the week, it was completely effortless because in not one of the games that I played was there someone who could fight back on the other team. This isn't even an ego thing it just doesnt make sense. Usually people will be using real guns and trying even if they are incompetent and the games are difficult to win; this is how it is in normal PvP. But then I go play trials and it literally feels like I am playing against training bots who are coded not to be able to kill me. It felt like I was cheating the matchmaking or something the way my lobbies were.

Y'all really need to give up and move on. If you're playing destiny for the pvp, you're braindead.

Honestly if bad players get there flawless they should stay out of trials when flawless pool is active. But nah they want to be carried all the time. It's annoying and they shouldn't be putting people through that -blam!-.
