Skill Based Trials?
Thought on skill based trials? This way you would be matched against people with similar KD's and skill. You would still have to get 9 wins and it would still be really hard but now you won't have .7 KD's getting destroyed by 2.3 KD's first game. It will promote going flawless with your friends and help get rid of the enormous amount of carries you see everywhere every week (for better or worse). Going flawless with still be quite the achievement but it will be your own level of achievement making it way for attainable. My brother has been playing the game since it came out and his trials KD is 1.3 but he can never get flawless because he doesn't want to get carried... I think thats kinda bogus. Anyways lots of angles on this topic and I am curious to hear your feedback!

5 RepliesGood players would just drop their stats to get easier matchups. And since many would do that I doubt it would make much of a difference. I think it could work with SBMM for win 1-4 but after that it should remain based on the scorecard.

1 ReplyThe one thing I actually want SBMM on is trials. That may stop the need for carrying.

Edited by RavenousLD3341: 3/20/2017 2:42:41 PMScorecard based MM is really dumb and weak. Skill based matchmaking is what is supposedly the "competitive" (lol) playlist.... yeah.. that's the way is should have been. I can't even go near trials without dying. I just hover over that option in the director and it says "Guardian down!". Never died in my ship before....fkn lag

1 ReplyI think it should stay the same but you only gain 1 point for wining and loss 1 point if you lose. Get 9 points complete the card and go to the lighthouse.

2 RepliesI'd rather face a carry team with 2 good players and 1 trash player than 3 good players doing account recoveries.

Edited by Sideswipe: 3/20/2017 5:46:03 AMYou mean like an actual tournament would do? Perish the thought. But seriously, I say just use 3-4 brackets/tiers/flights and increase the value of rewards as you move up in prestige (nothing game breaking, but worthy of the effort).

9 RepliesWhat's wrong with carrying? You should love going against people who are carrying, that's 1 less person you have to worry about.
