Have been playing trials all weekend and usually dont struggle to much to go flawless but this week… oh boy… every game ive played has been against the sweaty flawless seals, and now after the fl pool activated ive had a better time getting to 6 wins on a confidence then the final game i get 2 under light players and end up losing 5-4, rest the card and then with my friend doing duos go 6-0 on our card, final game and we get a 1522 player and end up losing 5-4. HOW CAN YOU JUSTFY A 1522 IN A LIGHT HOUSE GAME, the team we were against were nothing special but won due to the steady flow of special ammo co int from our team mate…. ADD A LIGHT LEVEL CAP TO TRIALS OF WHAT EVER THE POWER CAP IS THAT SEASON PLEASE!!!! It’s so unfair and we lost the final round duo to it being a 1 v 2 and my team mate let them res and then get tethered instead of shooting the last guy or going for a res!!
From how I'm reading this, your friend was hesitant and played defensively because they didn't want to screw up on a 2v1 or 1v1, that and you had an underlight teammate who was playing aggressively but kept failing because they didn't think to go at your pace and the other team took advantage to farm them for ammo.
I don't really see a PL cap needed, more than anything you just got a bad teammate which is really unfortunate, my condolences to your near flawless card and time.
