Trials of Osiris is already really unbearable to play, at least give solo players (or people with busy friends) a CHANCE to try and enjoy it. It is getting really annoying that, when Trials comes around, I have to ask "Is there freelance?" If there isn't, I just have to barrel through the pain of matching against 2/3 stacks (which is notably not fun). It's crazy how a gamemode that appears less than Trials has freelance every time it comes around (IB), but Trials doesn't. Edit: the pvp elitists found my post, oh no. I have friends who play this game, but they, unlike me, have jobs, and can't play all the time. Freelance is good because yeah, there's a chance my team has people who don't know what they're doing, but the enemy team has that same chance. Trials would not die if Freelance was a constant. Carries would still be popular because those players have shown that they are good and can consistently get people to the lighthouse. Freelance lacks said consistency, but still offers an opportunity to people who don't want to do that.
