Well think about it. If your opponents are always coordinated then odds are they’re having a good experience. Just because you aren’t having a good experience doesn’t mean everyone isn’t as well. It’s the nature of competition. For there to be a winner it means somebody has to lose. If you win every game it means you’re dooming your opponents to have bad games. Yes winning is selfish, because you are doing so at the expense of the other team. Their anger/disappointment/sadness is the cost of your happiness.

Looks like someone got mad they can't stack against randoms anymore.

It's fun, the solo trials is a fun map, I am not worried about getting flawless when I play and just play for fun. People take the game so seriously and push the fun out of the events. It's a game it's fun and the loot looks cool, the music is also awesome, keep the map going.

matches are pretty lopsided still as team balancing is broken and you basically only play shatterdive hunters.

The rage quitting on Sunday morning was annoying. But I think the real issue is that too many people think that they're going to walk into Freelance and go flawless.....and then get mad when they don't. If you want to go flawless.....get a team and go into the regular list. Freelance is basically there for solo players to get a chance to play, and get access to the REGULAR loot pool. While not getting curbstomped every other match.

[quote]This is by far one of the WORST Trials experiences I have ever had. Everyone on the other team acts extremely coordinated without even being in game chat, yet the teammates I always get are acting like they've never played the game before. Heroes run off and think they can take on the entire enemy team by themselves (to no surprise, they die). One dude had even stopped mid round and was IN HIS MENU! This is not enjoyable at all. Trials is endgame. It should be about teamwork and build synergy. Sure, matchmaking seems to have been a good thing for duos and solos who simply want to play Trials, but an entire separate playlist is too far. I don't know if it's just the matchmaking for Freelance isn't dialed in all the way, but rolling solo in either playlist feels the exact same. Please don't make this a permanent change. Implement a harsher penalty for backing out of matches and Trials will be near perfect.[/quote] Just played my first match, and left after few rounds - typically you have someone clinging on to lazy, desperate weapons.... but who can blame them, they really those rewards. But once I'm back on, I will give it a proper go and see how it goes. But I will be honest with you, I have no issue at all with Bungie given harsher penalties for leaving but don't think, for one moment that that will make Trials near perfect.... it never will be for as long as people are desperate and lazy for the rewards.

It’s fair. Sometimes you will get good teammates, and other times you will get potatoes. As long as you have reasonable expectations, you will have a good time. I see a lot of people with .5 KDs complaining about the matchmaking, but trials is supposed to be an end game activity.
