Why is there no matchmaking in the Trials??

The title. Although I mostly play with clan mates, I really would like to have the chance to hop in Trials spontanously w/o having the need to search for a Team first, espeacially for doing the Bounties… Why not offer a Freelance-Queue like in Comp??

  • Matchmaking ~ Enabled Modified Flawless Cards ~ Enabled 3rd Match ~ Weapon / Freelance Emblem 5th Match ~ Armor 7th Match ~ Pinnacle Flawless ~ LightHouse Access, Flawless Freelance Emblem (2 Types), Random LL Gear (Restrict access to Armor/Weapon Glow) The issues with communication amongst teammates, in freelance trials, will be a problem. Just remember rewards/accomplishments are not equivalent to Competitive Trials. As for me, I am just after the "Cloak of the Exile". Problem Solved

      It's because it's a pinnacle PvP ritual activity. It's the only mode that has 3v3, with power enabled. Trials, is [i]heavily[/i] a team enforced environment, even more so than Comp IMO, the cadence is totally different in a game. Competitive, you can get away with one person leaving to get a couple kills here or there. Because there is an instant revive system in comp (your pool of lives with some restrictions), where as in Trials each death is even more critical. Sticking with your team, rotating positions together, covering flanks and necessary communication all plays a huge part. When someone goes down, decisions need to be made on pulling a revive or bailing and reapproaching. Generally speaking, you won't see many "hero" moments in Trials (1v3) because the penalty of dying is much greater, so basically all teams will be sticking together. Also the structure of how the leveling works is completely different. In Comp, you can lose a game and only go down a couple hundred glory and lose your winning streak bonus. You can make that up in a game or two. If you want the pinnacle rewards in Trials, losing one game will cost you your entire card (unless you have mercy) and you need to start over. So to answer your question, why doesn't Trials have MM? It's the highest endgame PvP activity and it wasn't designed for it. There are other modes in the game that depend on a lesser degree of the above mechanics. Edit: Some others have mentioned here that Raids don't have MM either. Trials is definitely in the same spectrum as Raids and Higher Level NF's (Masters/GM Nightfalls).

      • You would never make it with randoms anyway. It would just be frustrating to the max.

      • Without Matchmaking this is total crap. A content that I will never play. Always hate the elite content of games, it only brings trouble.

      • All these arguments against having matchmaking are ignorant. You dont like people afking mid-match, well guess what, YOU don't have to use the solo/matchmaking queue. YOU can go find a proper group. I know the risks when I queue up that half my team might drop, and I still don't care, I'll take that risk. I want the option available to pop on destiny whenever I have time to play and queue up real quick. What the f do you care anyways? With SBMM you top teir players will never see me anyways and if you do, congrats, free win for you! I'll live with a loss.

      • I was disappointed as well at first then seen the cards and bounties and then realized it’s not worth my time as a pve player. I run iron banner every time with all 3 characters but yea no trials for me. Might just not play much this season as I’m burned out on the new activity already.

      • https://kotaku.com/its-now-even-easier-for-overwatch-players-to-throw-game-1827397563 Imagine by some miracle you're running feelance and you've got a 6-0 card. You're one win away from going flawless and going to the Lighthouse. ...and then your rando team mate 1. Goes AFK. 2. Actively throws the match by suiciding. 3. Or even worse, just as your about to win.....they kick you from the team. I've had all these things---or similar---done to me in this game or others in MM situations. Its JUST not worth it. You think it is now because its an abstract notion. But the first time you lose access to loot you've earned because of some troll.....some underparented teenager who is looking to entertain himself by ruining your evening? You're going to be mad enough for someone to fry an egg on your forehead.

          • It'll never happen. Trials is a [b]team[/b] based mode, which requires constant communication. It has always been like that and will stay like that.

            • It has never had and never will have solo queue. Trials has always required premades.

              • Trials is not built for solo queue. Never has been. Never will be. Much like raiding is pinnacle pve, Trials is a pinnacle pvp experience. I recognize it sucks to be locked out of content because you don't have people to play with, but it cannot function as another Iron Banner.

              • The best reason I can give for this is how it feels to play in the comp playlist solo. Without communication you simply find that players make stupid mistakes and if you're going up against a well coordinated team, you're basically f###ed.

                • Imagine being 6 wins no losses to get matched up with a 0.69 kda Crayon Eater with his duke handcannon and sniper who doesnt know how to use it. The match is 4 to 4 and this guys the last guy standing and has to 1v1 a guy with a 2.0 kda his spare rations or hardlight and is Unbroken

                  • I never really got it, jump in and get stomped by a coordinated team because all you really want to do is bounties. Am I missing how this is a win for the teams?

                    • Or at least allow people to queue up solo - I mean if it’s card based MM it makes no sense to not be there other than to bar people from playing.

                    • They really should have offered SOMETHING. It needs to be win/win not all win/lose for clans vs matchmaking. This is just one more nail in the coffin imo

                    • i was shocked there should of at least been a solo que option not some crappy activity that once again punishes ppl that dont have that many friends on the game at the same time. i played alot of trials back on xbox in D1 with my clan but these days i just want to chill seems to me that bungie just hasnt got a clue anymore they just keep screwing up this season is a joke. They yap on about loot insentive and makeing the game better but bring nothing to the table with this season at all apart from mindless bounty grinding again and re hashes crap from last season
