Face the same teams twice in a row. Face fireteams as 3 solos multiple times in a row. Im in california, don't tell me the player pool is too small, but if it is, that says a lot about the devs decision making.
Lobby balancing also is an atrocity. I know the BDF will be here like "its trials you should be able to beat any random team out there as a solo player no matter who they put on your team." but thats rubbish.
The old model was much much better. The new model feels more like a slot machine than pvp.

As of 3-4 hours ago the trials player count was ~30k but that’s the total before all the crossplay/pool/matchmaking factors I mentioned along with your region. When the playerbase is this bad I simply don’t play that much if at all on friday or monday, I mostly stick to saturday/sunday.
