I thought I wouldn't do Trials this week, but I got such a good offer I had to give it a try.
A friend of mine who has won 90% of the Trials matches decided to help me go flawless today along with a friend with similar stats he has. I was so hyped! Playing with them is a guaranteed Lighthouse run! They said it themselves!
So, the first matches went by really fast. I was little to no use as they kept killing the enemies so quickly. At first it felt like I was being carried hard and didn't have to put any effort into the matches, but eventually I got into their pace and started to score some good kills. I did well overall.
But then at our sixth or seventh match, we face lagswitchers. We stood no chance because that stupid Warlock was teleporting everywhere. He was simply unkillable for the most time. They said they have never experienced such bs.
But whatever man! I'm playing with a two beasts! No way we'll lose another match!
Right?
The last match was on Rusted Lands, against the same people we had just played against on beat them. Should be an easy match.
Well, we were kicking their asses. Very well, in fact! But when we were on a 4-0 situation, something happened. The enemy team just completely flipped the table, went absolutely MLG Doritos mode and f*cking murdered us, scoring Strenght of the Wolf and everything. We lost 5-4 from a 4-0 situation!
I'm done. I'm f*cking done. I'll never get to the Lighthouse in Year 2.
I keep trying and trying, but it's never enough. The enemy is always better. It always is.
Am I really that bad and don't deserve to get Flawless? Here's my stats. Judge yourself.

EDIT: inb4gitgudcomments!
Maybe I should start using Mida or The Last Word. Would that help?
EDIT2: So many cheering posts. I don't have time to reply to them all, but you have my thanks! Much appreciated!

Same here bud, its real BS lol

You're not using the "meta" right? If you are I recommend branching out and finding where you work best at. For instance I use to steadily rake in a whole hearted .5-.9 k/d with the strange 1.5 thrown in there. Now I've played around a bit found I'm best in extreme ranges either cqc or snipe offs. I'm around a 1.1 fairly steadily. So try new things and learn where you are best at and build around it. I hope this helps[spoiler]my k/d is either .7/.8 so nobody needs to point it out. I gitted gud but don't want to restart[/spoiler]

When I check the link, it shows a d/k ratio instead of a k/D ratio. When did they start that???!?!?!?

You know what My favourite Trials partner for some reason struggles to keep a steady ELO. He jumps between 1300 and almost 1500 between the weeks, but I wouldn't trade him for anyone else. He's a valuable teammate and I think you have the stats to be one aswell. Just keep trying. Keep practicing. Get a solid team and play [u]together[/u]. As a team. It will take you far.

After losing on my last game weeks in a row I just got really weary of trying. Year one, at least. I haven't touched Trials since TTK dropped.
-
I also never did but i dont give up
-
I feel your pain my man. Try doing it with two randoms and a 1.0 K/D like mine. All four of my sons have been to the Lighthouse. They ask me every week if I have been there yet, keep having to tell then no.
-
-
It seems like you're a pretty good player, but just bad matchmaking. Just keep grinding!
-
Don't give up. That's the easy way out.
-
I've figured that trials is about 25% skill, 25% Team synergy and 50% luck.
-
This battle is lost...but there will be others.
-
How in the actual hell do you not go flawless with a KD above 1.5?
-
With that you k/d you must be the most passive player ever and never challenge unless your team mate does first or he is absolute. If what I say is wrong you should have no problem going flawless
-
I just do the bounties. No point in trying when we can't get past 6 wins.
-
Congratulations you played yourself

Modificato da Moonlitrebel: 4/5/2016 5:13:36 PMI feel you.. I have the worst trials luck. I only play for bounties now because 50 percent of time, we get matched with 3 mlg pro sweaty types at 317 with emblem etc in the first match. Sometimes we get about 4 or 5 wins in, but we usually hit the laggers like you did, or hit the inevitable '3 titans who spam shoulder charge all game and mercilessly teabag you'. That usually takes the fun out of it real quick.
-
I have not either, man. Sucks 😳
-
I don't understand. You have almost identical stats as me, why do you need a carry? My friend and I, (1.7 and 1.8 kds) play with a guy that has a 0.7 all the time and we've taken him to the lighthouse a handful of times. I seriously don't get it. Unless you're trolling.
-
Want to cry in the corner with me?
-
Honestly, you're just a good representation of why stats mean absolutely nothing XD But hey, you'll get there man ^_^
-
I might be able to help
-
Your 1.7kd is a bit misleading because of the amount of games you have played, but your 1.4 looks solid enough, your Elo is pretty good and your win ratio Is pretty good. My stats dropped a lot when I deleted all my passage coins by mistake so had to go on a suicide spree to replenish some! My Elo is nearly 1800 and my kd is 1.3, my win is 63%, so apart from my higher Elo our stats aren't miles apart, I've been to the lighthouse 37 times but have deleted two characters (not sure if it still counts those as 37 feels very low for me), I guess what I'm saying is with your stats you should be getting flawless fairly often, maybe you haven't played with players that suit your style of play, if your on PS4 add me I'll run it with you and my ref mate who has same stats as me, see if we gel lol.

That sucks lol
