Why is trials so bad

[Vanessa]

why do i get matched with people who have 77 flawless cards when im on a card with 0 wins. I honestly hate it so much, most of the rewards suck and the loot system is even worse, I mean come on 1 token for a win and getting nothing for losing. It will never cease to amaze and fascinate how much bungie managed to ruin this gamemode. Sad thing is i normally enjoy pvp but trials is just depressing, its such ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

I think trials would succeed if it used a similar system to league of legends clash tourny ranking. If you dont already know it places you into brackets of players similar to your skill. So the 1-7 trial matches would be played against people of similar skill rather than people who easily stomp on newer or less skilled players. Within the brackets, if you are at 6 wins for example you play vs others at 6 wins inside said skill bracket.

In its current state trials is a free for all mode where only good players have a chance at getting to 7 wins flawless, less skilled players dont even stand a chance. Which is obviously not fun for anyone, since matchmaking pools are very small (less than 5-10K unique loggins for trials every weekend). By having a system such as clash tourny less skilled players would be able to have a fair and fun fight towards that 7 win flawless.

Bungie is supposedly meant to be improving Trials sometime in the future but I can't remember if they've actually said when and how yet. Knowing Bungie it'll probably be awhile and monkey pawed somehow.

No ammount of trial changes will make trials better if no one plays it but sweats and cheaters. You are matched with 77 flawless because there are no low tier players in the trials player base. There are just NO PLAYERS of your level playing trials. When for example you go to mm on normal crucible modes you will have like 20% players playing them and you have much more players for mm to pick from. As for trials you have maybe 3 or 4 % players from the playerbase so you will not get matched with people on your level and only with hardcore sweats and cheaters because no avarage player or even good is playing trials. Its just flawed concept from player base standpoint. I think there should be matchmade trials mode without addept weapons ( maybe addept mods only drop) so people can practice and get used to it also earning basic trials rewards and normal premade mode for adept weapons for flawless like it is. It would help trials a sh i t ton. Now you dont stand a chance without being realy good or having cheats.

the return of trials has been a been a bit of disaster, and really there's little that can fix the game mode short of completely changing the entire thing. the only reason Bungie persists with it is because streamers and youtubers get a lot of views from it and it's a big part of the advertising/marketing for the game, as pve streamers don't get anywhere near the same numbers. (the main reason it does so well on Twitch is because most of the bigger streamers do raffles for carries, because people want the loot but don't want to play it).

honestly at this point, even though it won't happen, they should put the focus and dev recourses they've been pouring into trials, into revitalising Iron Banner and even comp

Because it is card based system.
Your first game will be versus anything there is.
Trails is dead in the water.
The only reason they keep it is to cater to PVP streamers who bring attention to the game, and yest most of them are carries.

The only way to fix Trials is to remove the atrocious card based system and the flawless requirement to go to the lighthouse. Allow anyone who scrapped 7 wins to reach the lighthouse, but give the adept weapon for those who made it Flawlessly. But they would never do that, because twitch streamers will cry.
