Before I start, I want to make the point that in no way am I knocking what Bungie are trying to do for trials. The last couple of weeks have seen huge numbers taking part, and that can only be good for the game.And in these early days of reform, they're making changes every week in order to maintain those numbers. I applaud them for their efforts. It's certainly encouraged me to take part.. BUT. Some of the comments by some of my favourite youtubers have made me wonder about the changes, first one being the flawless v flawless pool. They were saying that after going flawless once, they couldn't jump into a match with friends who hadn't gone flawless. So how come they didn't go flawless with their friends in the first place? And the majority of their friends are probably already seasoned flawless players anyway. I think "friends" really means "carries". Another one who I subscribe to ended a very recent vid by saying," I'll certainly be taking part this weekend, so make sure you enter those raffles if you want to get carried". Which brings me to the new mode being introduced this week. What chance will new , casual, and solo players have to go flawless this week in zone control? Hardly any if they're not being carried. Seasoned teams will just wait till the zone point appears, and wipe out less knowledgable and solo player teams in seconds. It'll be the easiest week for carries ever, and I bet the end figures will show record flawless numbers....made up by those who are carried. In addition to the fact that there'll be 2 whole days before the flawless pool starts, the streamers will think christmas has come early. Now. This really wouldn't bother me at all IF solo matchmaking was already in operation. I'd just play knowing that win or lose, it's down to me and the other 2 randoms to progress. But it isn't and I'm going to be just another one of the sixty something percent of players used as target practice for the carrying teams. Although win trading is not technically cheating, it is a bannable offence now, but I don't see how carries are any different. You are still being handed victories and end rewards for no effort. Bungie may do stupid things sometimes, but they are far from stupid, and these changes are indirectly benefiting themselves AND the streamers/content creators, and I can't see solo matchmaking being introduced in the near future. Until then, half a million of us will just be cannon fodder. Finally, another youtuber I follow stated in a recent video that the Vex was one of most powerful all round weapons in Destiny this season, yet it is one of the hardest to get because of a 5% rng drop rate. Funny how 99% of videos you watch show the host using said weapon in the background footage. Coincidence?
