Is Trials only for the elite now ?

After two runs at the weekend just to do bounties I find that Trials is no fun at all for the lower end of the PVP skill level. Occasionally a good close game will be had but otherwise its me getting stomped or occasionally stomping some poor other players. I am a reasonable 6x6 PVP player and not a very good 3x3 PVP player and I was the top on our team which may give an indication of our skill level. I have noticed recently that the first 1, 2 or 3 games of the ticket are the ones that are way and above the worst rounds for us getting stomped on. I am trying to understand why should that be ? It used to be rounds 5 & 6 but now its the early rounds. It seems to be this way every time I run, are we lower levels not supposed to be playing ? why would Bungie create bounties that are not particularly hard to achieve if we were not supposed to play ? Am I just unlucky and seem to catch teams full of scarabs and flawless in the first three rounds who decimate us 5 & 0 in thirty seconds or is it the same for others ? What's your thoughts fellow bounty hunters? Don't get me wrong I am not complaining about getting beat, just don't understand the system that puts people who have gone flawless numerous times against those that never have in their first game. (I'd love to get to the lighthouse just for the grimoire but I think I am resigned to never doing it) Edit https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipN2duI72QQYp0L4KWW4dBQE8xmysy5y9ipCqg02Q5uytinByiojwm6QkpGu9dlqEQ?key=dXZqZ1BlNXJBNTVXVWdDX0ZzX1l6ZnNaQjlJczdR Have a look at that. Playing with a couple of guys who are just bounty hunting and pretty low ELO. First game on first character, 5% chance to win lol Carried on like that for 3 games at least, second game 2% chance to win, third game 8% Its not easy trying to get good :)

  • I don't consider trials to be for the elite but it takes practice and tons of trial and error to finally complete a flawless card.. I'm no where near being elite I'm a very casual player with a full time job and I still sneak in my occasional flawless card.. So just keep trying 👍

    • You can do it man -- a big part of it is just getting the right weapons to compete. And if you aren't confident in sniping, then shotguns also work really well. As soon as our group all had DoPs, we began making it to 8 wins much more consistently. Just farm for solid weapons, and get comfortable playing 3v3 formats (IE salvage, Skirmish, and Elimination). Also, look at what are the optimum perks for your subclass -- that also helps, and can even be refined in 6v6. Don't give up, and you can make it.

      • Should the top tier PvP rewards from the most competetive game mode not be for the most competetive top tier players?

          • Going flawless is for the elite, as it should be. I find running the bounties is fun though. You can get some of the trials drops that way at least.

            • Even the best teams have first games. Or they are scum and boosting stats on first game then dismantle card so they can keep stomping.

              • No you literally cannot go through trials without somebody using some type of cheap lag switch.

              • Trials is really fun to me, I do enjoy playing with people randomly at times. But it's really pissing me off that all I see is people who want to get carried, and the streamers who carry. I wish I could be a "Do Nothing B!tch" and sit on my ass all day playing Destiny carrying mofos. That'd be the life right ? I have my good and bad games, and lots of times I play to have fun. Clearly there needs to be a stop to this. Separate the streamers that carry useless guardians. I wish there could be a separate mode for that, but only in a perfect world, right? Lol

                • I have the same problem. Can't I play against the players in my skill range rather than every tryhard sweaty player. I'd understand around the 7-9 win mark but every single match? Not to mention EVERY match has at least one red bar. We had a kill meeleeing from across the map. I don't even care about flawless really, just give me the 7 wins. This is why I don't bother with PVP. Too much frustration versus the potential rewards.

                  • You are pretty much the definition of average in crucible. 1.1, 1.0, and.9 across three characters. In no way am I bashing you, but the Lighthouse I'd not for the average. The odds are you will not get there and either will I. I am good with that, are you?

                      That percentage is based on the ELO of your team vs there. And when you guys all have bad scores (no offense) you should be losing like that. If you want to have a better game, find better teammates.

                    • Watch this, a vid I made where I explain my thought process. I went from .72 to 1.27 kd ratio, so I'm a semi casual now 😉

                    • What I've noticed is this: using boons, if you beat your first match, the second one (which would be your third win) is full of tryhards. So you take a loss. Then you get easy teams till 6-7. It was actually getting pretty comical as we progressed in Trials because this kept happening lol no boons? It doesn't happen. Weirdest thing.

                        Destiny all together is only for the elite now. A casual in King's Fall = Kicked Average KD in Crucible = Scrub Connection not as good as the top tier players = "leave now" or Ban, it is clearly your fault for living in America and get matched up against people from China. I cannot enjoy Destiny if these are the dominant mentalities that direct the community.

                        • Relatively speaking, there aren't many ppl playing Trials. Block all of those who don't play fair.
