Something Needs To Change With Trials
Even though it was stated in a recent patch that the matchmaking issues have been fixed, I'm still noticing some issues in trials. I'm constantly being matched with people that are at a lower skill level to myself, and I'm no saint, but I would have hoped for them to be at the same skill level as myself.
I have also noticed that as the wins racked up it became significantly harder to get wins with the final win being practically impossible as most people i matched with died instantly. Not only that, but the people we match with were significantly more skilled than us, rubbing us into the ground as they wiped it clean.
The matchmaking issues in no way balanced and something needs to change.
I understand that trials is not meant to be easy, but is no way meant to be near impossible.
Please do something!

6 OdpowiedziDude… I am not trying to be disrespectful… but you need to be objective here… 👉 Your overall trials KD is 0.41 On your last trials match you had the lowest overall KD from the selected players for your team. So what exactly were you expecting… A miracle ??? How about you do the work first… meaning, get better at PVP in general… your overall crucible KD is 0.76 sorry but that’s not good enough. You need to have at least 1.0 overall crucible KD. If you can get your weekly trials KD to around 0.7 or 0.8 (at least) then it would be much easier for you to go flawless, specially on Sundays (Fridays & Saturdays are usually the hardest days to go flawless, and Mondays have the lowest trials population so it maybe difficult to go flawless on that day with a KD lower than 1.0) The better players do their flawless on Fridays & Saturday. Once they go flawless their are not supposed to be matched with non-flawless population for the remainder of that trials weekend based on current trials matchmaking parameters. Unfortunately… the overall trials population is getting lower and lower every weekend so you will see a mixture of lobbies (most of your Sunday lobbies should be non-flawless but not all… some games will have players with flawless tickets simply because the population might be too low to find a match with non-flawless players only). To get better at pvp… that is another subject… quick tips -> use pvp weapons (with pvp perks), optimize your subclass with armor for pvp (some subclasses are better than others). Watch youtube pvp builds. Also, if you’re using a regular ps5 controller, perhaps it’s time for an upgrade (get a controller with at least 2 extra back buttons / paddles, so your thumbs will always be on L3 and R3 sticks). Also, get kontrolfreek thumbsticks for better control when aiming a gun (I recommend FPS Freek Vortex), and optimize your in-game sensitivity settings. Make sure you do not have any stick drifts on your L3 R3 sticks either. And once you do that… you need to play lots of pvp (including various crucible game modes) to develop better pvp instincts. Your overall KD will improve in time guaranteed (maybe nothing crazy, but at least 1.0 for sure or perhaps a bit higher than that).

[quote]I'm constantly being matched with people that are at a lower skill level to myself[/quote] This is the way it's supposed to be though...there isn't supposed to be lobby balancing nor SBMM on the lighthouse passage (until you go 7w)
-
Trials is meant to be random until you hit the lighthouse or go flawless. You’ll face bad players, good players. Which is how it should be. After you go flawless or lighthouse the game matches you with people who are similar skill to you, which is how it should be.

1 OdpowiedźSkilled in Destiny 2 pvp means: 1 second connection advantage and lag.

Not to be offensive, but you are a way below average pvp player. It is normal to struggle to win in the endgame of pvp. By being in the bottom of the bracket, you obviously have WAY WAY more chances of facing better players than you. Especially when the gamemode isnt that popular. Or else you would have to wait 1h per match to find a lobby that is close to your level. (Also in order to win in trials you shouldnt rely on your randoms, but only on yourself)

1 OdpowiedźThank you for highlighting the matchmaking issues in Trials. Something has to be done about this. I’m sure Bungie has taken note.

Before the update I was constantly seething. I think one weekend I went 7-23 and all my losses wasn’t because of me. I think for the first time in my life I won a trials game where both my teammates had zero kills the whole game. That is the craziest crap I have done/seen in my 11 years. Now the update. It’s way better. More balanced games. You do get a forced loss but it’s not too bad.

Let's be real, Trials was the biggest mistake ever in this game. Sure, it was the one thing that kept the game active during the downtime between Taken King and Rise of Iron. But now? Everything special about it has lost all meaning. I remember back during House of Wolves it was a big deal whenever someone went Flawless. Now? A Lighthouse trip is basically a participation award.

3 OdpowiedziEspecially since now you have to buy the game or season(not sure which exactly) to even get into Trials. And that's sheets rolling downhill. Crucibles been a nightmare and I believe everyone is there instead because they refuse to pay. I have NEVER seen so many handguns in a game as it has consistently been for weeks. Ugh.
