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.

Edited by Dismay: 10/25/2021 7:29:00 PMI had fun besides the games where my teammates didn’t realize you could sprint in the game, had a few openly sabotage my card, and others quit the second we went down a single round. Oh, and others who hold super for several rounds just to take it to orbit. Seriously, some people just shouldn’t be in the playlist. Still don’t think it should stay and prioritizing MM in one pool is the move.
