Control what you can control. Let go what you can't. In this case, you control YOUR ACTIONS and thats about it. Play better, and it won't matter who you match. Group with a fireteam, and you won't have to rely on Bungie to give you good teammates. Simple answers to simple problems is best. Changing matchmaking to make tje game easier for you is the hardest possible solution. Improving your abilities is the simplest answer.

I have not played Trials since 2022, and my friend who is generally not as good of a PvP player was playing Trials this weekend. So I hopped in with him, he went to the lighthouse for his first time ever. Another player joined us, so we were in the trio group. I would say we were low to moderate skill, and still managed to win about 40% of our games and gradually improved. My opinion, rather than come to the forums and complain about matchmaking, get 2 people to play with and go into the trio group. Work on learning the mode, and how to play with each other rather than just winning. Learn openings, midgame and endgame strategies. What to do when your team gets a pick and guard the orb to prevent res, and what to do when you lose a player early and try to get the res. Just complaining that matchmaking is not fair is not enough honestly. If it is not favorable to you, then dont use it. Make a team, and learn to coordinate and absorb the burden yourself to be THAT player to make the difference. I learned a lot playing trials this weekend, there were plenty of games where I was clearly outclassed, but there were also plenty of games that were really close and could have gone our way and didnt because of chemistry between us. Leaving all of the team chemistry to matchmaking by queuing solo, makes it really hard to read because you are looking at 5 new players every round. Where you dont know your teams opening routes and tendencies, while having to read what the enemies route is at the same time. Sometimes you will have a cracked player on your team that can 1v5, but more often that is not the case and you need to step up yourself and play that role. Did anyone clear Zero Hour on their first run through when the mission released? No! You have to learn the route, and practice, and through that you will have the skill and efficiency to beat the mission. Same is true in Trials. Players have been playing the mode for YEARS, and understand without having to think about it what needs to be done to win. I am mostly a 6's player in PvP, and I need to relearn and re-equip my loadouts in order to better play 3's. Overall, I had a better experience in trials this weekend than I had expected. I didnt get to the Lighthouse, but I helped my friend get there and he was ecstatic, which is worth it for me.

if you're not good at pvp you should be "food for the 1 percenters." They put in time, got better, and reap the benefits. if you can't win, use your brain and try to get better. or go play a farming simulator or something.

The lower your kd the more you lose that simple

Every match you either contributed almost nothing to your team, or you were carried to a win. It’s the same scenerio for all these whiners. -They aren’t as good as they think they are. -They expect even more hand outs in a game mode revamp that literally gives you hand outs. -Their play history shows us that they either contribute nothing to a losing team or get carried by someone else to a win. Same thing every time.

L bait

Epic fail is saying power enabled and it’s a lie!!!!!

Yeah, the three players with the highest skill go into Team A, the other three into Team B. That’s how Bungie do SBMM.

If you don’t think the changes were made to get more folks into Trials I feel for you. It’s all to increase the population. The truth be you’ll get farmed by the same PVP mains that have been there all along. Slight changes….same sweat lords.

Not true. It’s actually a fantastic change.

The only thing that sucks is playing off a flawless card 😭

Trials is always bait. Any form of actual MM will get the sweats mad they have to go against people of their skill.

I think I played 4 or 5 matches, won a couple, got 3 decent weapon drops, and a bunch of engrams. I’m happy.

This has to be bait
