I'm not great. I know. I barely have over a 1.0 kd in skirmish but that's because of my early history in the crucible. I've gotten a lot better recently (practice) but in trials, I can barely compete. Why is there such a difference between the two?

Here's the real reason: Trials matches you based on internet connection. Skirmish matches you based on skill level. So if your really good, you will have a Higher K/D in Trials because you are playing people who are less skilled than you are used to. But if your just average (as am I), you will be going against harder opponents in Trials than you get matched up against in Skirmish. Make sense?
