I usually have the same problem. When solo que, I usually open the match with asking if any of my team mates are on comms, which really helps the team overall with call outs, but I get it's not how everyone wants to play. Plus some people are just better at winning their duals. Also when to push or cover a teammates retreat when it is needed really helps. But that said, trials non flawless is now open skill, yet I still see players being matched with flawless glow on their armor?? I guess Bungie reverted it back. I've gotten one passage of persistence done, but it was a lot of win / lose back and fourth. Best of luck this weekend.
