Yeah, nobody believes you went that many times without being or paying a carry. The more important part here is that people didn’t watch trials on twitch. Not really. The 150k a weekend is abysmal. Those are really low numbers for popular games. Let’s just say that I concede both points though. Let’s say you are a monster at trials unrivaled by anyone like you claim. Let also say trials was the most watched thing ever. It still wouldn’t change anything I said. I forget the exact number but I’m ALL of destiny, both games, it’s something like high 90th percentile of people never go flawless. Now you could say “that’s because only the best can” which would be mathematically incorrect. Let’s make it easy and call it exactly 90 percent. If 90 percent of people are playing they can’t ALL be match against those 10 percent. Especially once you factor in those in that 10 percent who are offline. Unless of course, the rampancy of paid carries is so high as to make it a business model that runs 24/7.
This is all even disregarding the fact that 7wins in a row should not even be possible in any real sbmm system because a real sbmm should result in playing players of your skill level which by default would result in a, roughly, 50 percent win ratio. Unless again, player who don’t belong in a skill bracket are playing characters that do not belong to them.
This is common knowledge. I’m not even saying it’s all bad because I am of the mindset that even when outclassed and outgunned it’s your responsibility to find a way to win not blame something else. Nevertheless, trials has always been a joke when it comes to an accurate measure of good or bad in pvp.

I wish I could find a way to share my screenshot I had at the end of D1 trials bcus I had 163x 1818 Elo and a 73% win percentage also was roughly a 1.7 KD player I was above average but not amazing and card based math making was better if you ask me. And it was competitive especially in card based match making bcus the team you were playing against were playing for their last win as well. Competitive now is based on Glory score to match teams and I now had a like 4080 glory by the end of it and a 68 win percentage in comp. Trials is a fun game mode to play against others. I would be happy if Elimination was back in the game preferably in trials.

While what you said about card based WOULD be accurate it unfortunate was not. D1 never had any real card based or skill based. They certainly claimed they did but they did not. It was always a mix of different things. It was actually rare to play against someone on the same win streak as you despite bungie claiming that’s how it worked.
-
This was a common thing it would happens a lot whenever my team would lose on flawless game and it says at the bottom the other team went flawless
-
Also have seen YouTube videos where they have mentioned this like pretty sure it was lucky and buttwipe video or aztecross
-
It wasn’t common at all. The most common thing was being in win 1-3 and then getting beat by a team in their flawless game. It was in fact rare to have two exact same cards play against each other. Between connection playing a role in matchmaking and dwindling numbers of participants it simply couldn’t.
-
I don’t agree but that’s ok anyway you cut it the PvP community wants trials everyone I talk to who plays PvP/comp want trials back. They want 3v3 Elimination.
-
Then you talk to a very limited number of people.

Not true there just seems to be a lot of causal players
-
Everybody is casual. There is no destiny world title. There are only those that play and those that think something like trials makes them “elite” with no real justification. The sane people outnumber the false elitists. Trials is a matter of paying or spinning the roulette wheel enough times.

So skill has nothing to do with it huh? Krafty wish you luck gernader Jake true vanguard luminosity
-
What did you just say? As for skill, for the most part no, while being better can increase your odds it’s almost insignificant. In theory being better than others should mean you beat them but it inevitable that you will run into a carry despite that not supposed to be happening. So skill is an extremely small part of it. It’s like 95% about whether you get lucky or not and not face a carry. Then if you get past that hurdle you still have to be better than seven teams.
-
Beating a team that’s statistically better than you bcus your team chemistry is a great thing or someone made a nice play is an awesoen feeling
-
I don’t disagree. That doesn’t change the fact that in trials that’s an extremely rare thing because carries are so prevalent that beating them is extraordinarily unlikely. Even if you do you have to do that seven times. Not gonna happen.

Also destiny had a high player count I meant of 150k a weekend Idk what the viewer count was but it was one of the most viewed games Aztecross just stated this in his video today about it.
