Hi, I just wanted to share that I'm a below average Trials player doing mostly solo queue and this has been probably the best Trials weekend for me since the beginning of the season including week 1. Freelance was definitely an improvement over the previous weeks and I even almost went flawless on my card before losing but I don't think it solved the issue of massive skill disparity fluctuations between matches for me.
This week I had much more competitive matches all around. I got to 7 wins on my card much sooner on Friday with a reasonable (re: fun) win/loss ratio and have been able to continue pushing my card past 7 wins to farm ascendant shards and other materials today and have been enjoying myself a lot, even when I lose it's not that I'm just getting stomped all weekend hoping for a rare fun match :) looking at trials report I guess my W/L is closer to 50% rather than 30%
I think this matchmaking change was extremely healthy for the mode and with maybe some additional tuning could be exactly what is needed to keep people playing.
I just wanted to post some positive feedback.
I encourage you to look at the data and see what it says anyway in case I'm an outlier/anomaly but I just felt like I wanted to share my personal experience this has been an incredibly positive one for me this week!!
