Trials balancing

Holy 💩 it’s the worst it’s been, it’s actively removing any fun and made it so it’s literally not worth playing at all. I don’t know how many times I’ve read posts about balancing and Bungo literally has the head in the sand Remove the 50% win rate BS, I hope the person responsible for that no longer is allowed to make decisions

No playlist has may sort of 50% win rate rigging.

    • You no longer require 7 wins to reach the Lighthouse. I have 4 weeks in game and 2 flawless cards; one of which was an actual flawless card because I didn't know you didn't need 7 wins in a row. Sure, there are games which are frustrating, but even still with all the new perks it's hard not to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

    • Honestly this weekend has showed that the inbred population must be higher than I anticipated for. I'm genuinely about to reset my card and just watch what my teammates do. I genuinely believe that bungie is putting some sort of AI in Trials matches, my teammates genuinely show no sign of sentience. I mean they make stupid players, they hide in the back of the map despite us getting a pick we can absolutely guard. I don't know if it's AI or genuine monkeys from NASA, I'll do simple things like tbag with them, or try to chat with them in text and it's almost like they aren't responding to anything, they will Rez me and then instantly back up, knowing full well I'm being rez'd with 3 people looking my direction. It's not a very well kept secret that the trials population is in a severe decline, so my theory of there being being genuine bots in trials really isn't far fetched. I'm on console and I'm pretty damn good for being on console. So idk if I'm just getting senile elderly teammates, or people who weren't even alive when gay marriage was illegal. Point is I've genuinely never seen worse teammates in my life, it's not fun having to carry literally, LITERALLY, every single match. I shouldn't be playing against real humans who have played trials for year, while I'm playing alongside someone's 12 year old who got triaps confused with Caldera.

      • It’s bad man lol it’s not player population either. I promise we still have the same amount of terrible players because they are always on my team. Not crying, but it is obvious I’m getting stacked against. Worst it has ever been.

        • I'm not sure what side of the argument you're on, but trials was never meant to be balanced. It's the pinnacle PVP activity where the best face off against the best. Now the game mode has been transformed into a participation trophy event.

        • I found that trials is more mellow than quickplay. Like in quickplay you’re never going to be on a 7 win streak. Trials you do. To me trials is more fun to play even though 3v3 isn’t my style. I’m more of a 6v6 slayer but with this hardcore sbmm it’s impossible to have any fun. I end up using goofy loadouts in trials and serious loadout in quickplay.

          I'm of the belief something isn't working right and they need to go back to the old system or something like it. Last I checked it's supposed to be a mix between win and skill based MM, but the most I've gotten across 20 resets or so is 3 or 4 wins before giving up and just going to the lighthouse on that card. Back then I only had to do it on average maybe 3. Now? Ever since I think the second to last Exalted Truth week last season, it's doubled initially and now it's so many that what's the point? It's not fun losing 70-90% of your matches, and if you're losing that many, it CANNOT be you if there truly is anything trying to enforce a 50% win/ loss ratio. It's nothing but curb stomp after curb stomp because of teammates who run out on their own and get themselves killed or complete tryhards and cheaters. I'm fairly certain I know what I'm doing if I can grind to at least the promotion series to Ascendent solo (I will be Ascendent if I win the next match), and due to being a complete menace in Scorched, I'm in the top 0.1% in QP. So if it's not the matchmaking, it's taking into consideration my rank in QP and that is screwing me over HARD. There's no other reasonable explanation. I'm staying out until I'm 450 and if I'm still not getting T5 until I go flawless, I'm done with trials until they bring back something akin to Mercy cards because this is more like banging your head against a wall than playing a hardcore version of comp. I don't care how good the weapons are, there's ZERO justification anyone can give for why anyone struggles that much.

          • Yeeeeeep. I was doing trials just to get a passage done and see what guns would drop. Needless to say I got tired of playing after every lobby was me getting grouped with rank 4s, against sweaty -blam!- rank 8/9s with actual playtime in the game. I don't even play pvp.. imagine what the people who actually like crucible are thinking with this shít 😂

          • Idk about the mm changes but the only things that is throwing me off from the last dlc is the ability spam and weapon stats alongside with the lack of rewards. Trials should be challenging and fun to play with actual rewards not annoying and unrewarding. You got Titans spamming bolt charge and hunters spamming smoke…..then you have warlocks spamming rift 😂
