Trials is flooded with top tier players(streamers, recovs, 24/7 grinders) and it feels like that’s the only player base . If you are 1.3kd or below you have almost 0 chance to go flawless. The casuals jump off the map now they don’t even try no more. Some are incentivized to pay real life money to pay recovs because the playlist is so hard. I think it’s real crazy that I can match a team with players who have been flawless 334 times on game 2. Casuals also have no incentive to play long term past endgame bounties. Tokens are too scarce for them, a lot of them can’t get past game 3 and the rewards at the bottom of the card are too little to warrant going in for a second try. Card based matchmaking is a joke. Pushes casuals out and leaves top tiers to all the loot.

Iv said this so many times and with bungie it’s not worth ever holding your breath but placing people who have been flawless that week into separate matchmaking would solve so many problems. It wouldn’t change what your saying but the jumping off the map being so prevalent should be a wake up call. Everyone I used to play trials with quit mostly over recovs and teams farming their stats. Bungie shut down trials when people were win trading but never asked themselves why so many people were doing that.
