EDIT: This is probably not my fault for being super clear but I am talking specifically about the WEEK 2 Changes (flawless pool specifically). The Trials rework in general is great and I love it.
And here is why:
It completely ruins replayability.
I am by no means a great pvp player but I can manage a flawless. But now I can't play with my friends afterwards because it seriously tanks their chances of going flawless.
Last week, I could play with my friends, then also solo queue for fun/materials. This week it is flawless and then "-blam!- this -blam!- I'm out." I don't mind tough sweaty matches but solo queue in the flawless pool is almost worse than pre-rework trials. It's still all the sweatiest lfg 3-stacks because everyone else has gotten the -blam!- out after their flawless.
The people who love this change so much need a reality check. If you want to win you need to play better. Stop advocating for handholding participation trophy matchmaking. Week 1 was still plenty rewarding for losses and if you can't win a single match that sounds like a you problem.

yeah, this mm hurt the farming for normal players, but is a free 1 flawless for near all players
