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.

I am a casual trials player and sort of enjoy it even with the stomps. The loot is great just for hanging in there and you learn alot about the map of the week which helps in quickplay. And win or lose you can eventually get a full set of trials armor and every trials weapon (non adept, of course) of the season if you play consistently. Flawless and adept weaoons are reserved for streamers, cheaters, recovery acounts, and sweats. I am happy not to be in any of those categories but to still be able to get the loot.
