Not to be rude but, maybe you aren’t as good as you think

Why is it so hard for people to understand one fact? Trials is endgame PVP. It was never designed for most players. It was designed for the best of the best, to face the best of the best. That is why I could never figure out why so many wanted it back, or even in D2 at all. Being a "good" player is not good enough. You need to be in the upper 2% to really do well in Trials. Its just the way it is.....

I don't even really feel like I'm getting outplayed when I'm losing a lot of the time with this current meta. Destiny's biggest skill gap was the movement, so how does Bungie handle that? They ruin it with Stasis. Titans get good movement for just equipping the subclass, getting their 20 meter slide. They ruin your movement with the garbage that is duskfields. Arbalest exists. 120 RPMs invalidate pretty much every other primary weapon with their ease of use at practically every range on most maps. Glacial Quake is pretty much a free round win. Chaos Reach suddenly has an aoe 5× its animation, ignoring cover. This sandbox sucks, and Trials brings out the worst of it.

There’s so many unique factors that contribute to the toxic experience that is Trials of Osiris in D2 that I don’t think it’s possible to turn it into a general success. -The account recovery industry barely existed in D1, if it even existed at all. I for one can’t think of any fix to that particular insidious shitshow. - I know cheating is a primary issue for pc players but I play console and as such havent encountered any players or situations that I can say definitively were cheating. Regardless of that, if Bungie haven’t taken the steps to introduce adequate anticheat security to the game 4 years after pc release, then they’re never going to, so that’s always going to be a major issue. - The entire point of Trials is to be the pinnacle of competitive pvp.....Except there’s no skill based matchmaking..... and the card wins that matchmaking is based on can be reset as many times as you want.......and a player going flawless and getting a new card will likely match that player against a team who haven’t gone flawless..... so how exactly is that competitive. Trials will never actually be competitive without a ranking system dictating matchmaking ensuring that players are matched against other players in or around their skill level. - Actual competitive gameplay requires far less gun skill and tactical thinking than it did in D1. This is because of D2s shift away from weapon loadout and gunskill and focusing more on character build and team build composition, and it’s overwhelmingly more powerful and more available abilities. This results in an environment in which it is far more difficult to actually improve your performance by practising and learning. The outcome of a game is too heavily dictated by luck of matchmaking, what build/ mods you’ve acquired, and whether or not your opponents builds have shorter ability cool downs then you. Again, that’s not pinnacle competitive pvp, that’s just a matter of who’s better at min/maxing gear. - The card based matchmaking system and infinitely renewable cards merely enable a gatekeeping environment where the best players can go flawless relatively easily as many times as they want each week, while lower tiered players have to rely on luck to be matched against a team of a similar skill level as themselves in order to have anything even close to resembling a fighting chance at progressing. This problem is compounded by the fact that the more often a team goesflawless, the more their weapons will outclass those of the teams that don’t. Trials has existed in some form for 8 years now. That we still don’t have separate matchmaking pools for flawless and non-flawless teams is apparent that we never will. - I mentioned in the last point about teams getting flawless loot being better equipped than the lesser skilled players that they match against, this [i]should not[/i] change. The fact that the best gear comes from going flawless is important in a game in which the loot pool as already become too homogenised and generic. - in saying that though, there just is no incentive for people who don’t feel as though they have at least a fighting chance at even getting 3 wins. So anyway, yeah, this turned into a much longer post than I intended. But every issue I mentioned, Bungie have proven either unwilling or unable to remedy, or in some cases are actually deliberate and working intended. That’s why I don’t think that Trials is fixable or improvable, will never see wider engagement, and as the only pvp mode that gets given substantial new loot and rewards to chase, is ultimately a net drain on development resources that could be directed towards more universally engaged with areas of the game.

Simple fix: -Going flawless puts you in a seperate matchmaking pool UNTIL RESET (account based) —Non flawless pool, 1 flawless pool, 2 flawless pool and 3+ This way bad/average players have a better chance and recovs/carries get progressively harder. Also, the new triumph requiring 10 wins on each passage should instead require a flawless run on each passage.

You have a 0.76kd I don't know where you are getting 1.2kd.

Chinese carry services use aimbots, hacks and burner Steam accounts. They will queue up with clients and just 1 shot everything in the game. These hacks can't be detected by bungie, and even if they do, they would be banning a burner account with 1 hour of game time, big deal, they make new account in minutes and keep going...
