Trials gatekeeping

This topic is just part of my thoughts on the situation of exams based on low player numbers and less rewarding gameplay. As I mentioned above. I see what is happening in the lower tier overall. Gatekeeping is a serious balancing issue caused by players mercilessly exploiting low skill players. We all know that feeling and let's face it, everyone would love to step on bugs. But is it okay to allow that to happen? So my question is, how long do we want to remember that it gets worse with every season? And how long does it take for the gearbox to move in this direction? So yeah, thats it. Please be nice :)

  • I have to apologize in advance, but Trials was never intended for casuals. It's a sweaty, hardcore game play that only a single digit percentage of players have the skill to accomplish, and there is nothing wrong with that. It makes the rewards that much more valuable. There's nothing wrong with average to subpar players jumping into Trials, but they have to expect to be nothing more than cannon fodder. I refuse to hop in unless I have friends, or friends of friends willing to carry me since I suck as an individual, but decent when I can team shoot. There is no balancing in PvP - otherwise other PvP games dating back to Counterstrike would have made a killing implementing it. SBMM, CBMM - none of it works. SBMM can easily be manipulated by having your worst player as the fireteam lead, and CBMM doesn't differentiate skill level...so you either play the cards your dealt, or you walk away from the table. Basically, if I don't have the talent to play a game mode, I can either improve, play with people who help or can make me better, or not play it at all.
