I am a casual player. I can confidently consider myself to be above average, although I’m sure there’s plenty of sweats who will say otherwise. I only really play trials when I want the adept weapon so I have 36 flawlesses. This was the first time the prophet was the adept weapon since the archetype received a massive 30% PvE buff so I wanted to go get a cool PvE roll to make up for the lack of content. I loaded into trials, and I sorely regret doing so. Every single match I fight players with hundreds, sometimes even thousands of flawlesses. The only players I have fought are people who play trials constantly, and players who are cheating, and keep in mind most of these are on game 1. I couldn’t even get to win 3 without having to reset on a mercy card which allows 2 losses for your first flawless. Not only are the players in a complete league of their own compared to me, but this meta is also atrocious. Prismatic is all there is. Almost all of my matches are just filled with prismatic. I have enjoyed beyond light’s stasis trials more than this. Please do not play trials. Edit: people in the comments are proving my point. They’re just gate keeping trials, saying they had no issue going flawless and I just need to get better, meanwhile they have hundreds of flawlesses themselves. Bungie wants more players to go flawless. You shouldn’t need 500+ flawlesses to go flawless. That’s stupid and contradictory.
