      As a veteran player from Destiny 1 year 1 i tried to play trials back when hardlight was busted. And i hated it and i tried also afterwards but i really don't like how the system works. It's either sweat your butt of and improve or 100% lose after winning 4 or 5 matches in a row and i hate everything about it because it's such emotional rage inducing torture. And i experienced it back when i was playing comp many seasons backwards and i hated every second of it.

    In the game around 14:00 in, the reason StatusSD looks “laggy” is because he is basically snap canceling on strand warlock, it’s really tough to do but you can do the cancel on stasis and strand, and while it looks goofy and breaks the animation quite a bit, it provides a nice bit of movement tech to a subclass with very little movement at all.
    Source: I’ve played with him before and he is a goated player.

Literally a majority of those games weren’t even decided by supers anyways. Just goes to show that it’s not even meta weapons or subclass that wins games, because positioning and aim will win them.

Guy was clearly to far to use a sidearm on. He even peaked out before he pushed and Sean that he was on the edge of engagement range for his sidearm which means that any amount of back peddle would make the person he is pushing not push able. Yet he chose to push anyway.

    Solos and duos is essentially russian roulette at this point. You either get the bad teammates or the good teammates and if you’re duoing verse another good duo stack, you’re praying that you get the better solo. About 45% of the games are barely winnable and you have to hope that every game leading up to flawless is going towards your favor.
    Not even taking into account of the amount of cheaters I’ve faced this past Pacifica weekend. I literally played about 20 legitimate cheaters with walls and aimbots, most if not 1/3 of my matches played were closet cheating with a xim for sure. I literally played a three stack from Asia and he sniped me and I spectated him from my POV and see him tracking my teammate with a sniper waiting for him to peek out. It’s actually pretty bad lately now with aimbots. I never really enjoy solos or duos because of the unbalanced teams.

    It may be a lack of player diversity. If only elite players dare to enter trials, then you’ll end up with a distribution of matches where the average player is actually exceptional when compared to the entire D2 population. I think Bungie is making an effort to make trials more inviting to the layman by now granting 2 forgiveness and more non adept rewards after matches, but these changes have yet to gain momentum. It would also help if the community were also less toxic, there have been a few times were ive had an off game and get nasty messages telling me I should just delete D2 😂.

      My man, the two flawless mercy cards are deceiving. After your first game of the entire week (which is always practice pool) you’re stuck in the challenger pool until you lose your first mercy or if you reset your card at any point, you’re in the challenger pool until you lose your first game (challenger pool is full of tryhards gunning for the seasonal Trials emblem in my experience). Then you’re in the pool of people trying to either go flawless or trying to just farm rep/rewards (which is very minimal in Trials, because you get virtually nothing for a loss, so people typically only go for flawless imo). There is always going to be less player diversity unless you’re introducing loot that people want, giving out increased rep gains or the first week or two of a new season/expansion. If they wanted to make it more accessible then they need to give loot to the people who are likely on the prominently losing side of the metrics (the people who can’t go flawless need some type of reason to stay that’s worthwhile). Kind of like how they’re introducing rewards for playing a card until it becomes flawed for a little bit of materials given (referenced for an upcoming change next season in the most recent TWAB).

      To be fair trials is advertised as a tournament type mode. This implies competitiveness which means you should be playing to win. Playing to win entails giving yourself the best tools that garner success. Also is winning not fun? You are implying that winning is not the fun part in and of itself to other people. The problem with the don't use the meta not fun argument is that it assumes playin to win is not fun. Which is a direct contradiction to how dopamine usually works. Wins feel good that's why you want to win.
