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.

Well the player pool probably is small after the changes they did removing the flawless pool and removing card base matchmaking and getting rid of freelance makes no one went to play now so, all the hard-core players stay in there
