Im a day 1 player and a competitive, but chill player. Now the harder I try at trials the worse it seems to get. Its turning your players into a bunch of jerks.
My own friends will not play Trials with me cuz of kd and elo. I have to resort to lfg for about half hr to an hr before playing a couple matches, getting yelled at, and need to go back to LFG to find more kids to scream at me. Is that the experience u want me to have? Nobody's having fun. All ppl do is point fingers & blame. Ive been on for i dont even know like 8 hours today and almost as many yesterday. I have nothing to show for it except one less friend and 50 less passage coins.
So, Anything we can do to about making trials a little more attainable? I know the tryhards would cry, cuz it would deflate their egos, but this whole flawless thing is getting ridiculous.
Theres such a negative environment around Trials now that I am just done with it. I ve never had ppl treat me so badly as the ppl that "numbers" say are better than me. Ive been yelled at, kicked from parties without even a goodbye or thanks for the game, & called all kinds of names over this GAME! Nothing more frustrating then needing to rely on others for my success and trying very hard at something to be left essentially back at square one; only pissed off.
I know u like the buzz around Trials, Bungie. However I think the more attainable the lighthouse is the more ppl might play Trials. There really is no middle ground. I ve been getting 5-0 or stomped and teabagged rd 1.
My main prob with it is the Shit-Talking. So if ur good at trials and u just think I suck & cry - KEEP IT TO UR DAMN SELF & out of the comments plz. Your ELO & KD arent gonna get u laid. So spend ur time carrying other ppl to the lighthouse so u can feel good about yourself.

I post for trials runs for bounties only, and get a team together in a few minutes, 5 tops. I dont post requirements, just for bounties. I invite them to party chat before we start, and make sure they're cool with bounties only. Never had a group that wasn't "chill", and we often make it as far as seven wins. I tend to have great games in these teams. When I try to go flawless, it's a lot harder to get a team together, and matchmaking tends to put us up against sweaty try hards. I do terribly in these matches, and usually get stopped by 7 wins or less. Y1 trials was fun. Now, not so. It's the matchmaking. Not only is it based on wins, but it's also SBMM from my experience. Lag is generally worst in trials for me, and gets worse the more wins you get. They need to go back to pure connection based like Y1.
