Bungie invigorated trials by allowing players to go to the lighthouse by getting a total of 7 wins with however many losses. Even with a poor streak you’d get an adept weapon which was great.
I’m far from amazing at PvP but I grinded my way to 7 wins twice with a 2 streak and a 3 streak and got a tier 2 and a tier 3 weapon! It makes the lighthouse element pointless!
You should get a minimum of 1 tier 5 gear simply for getting there or we will see trials population fall again with an already diminished population!

Honestly tier 5s shouldn't drop from end of match rewards, only the lighthouse.
