There I said it. If a game mode can't find a balance between getting 5-0 of 5-0 another team then there's too low of a population. Change the damn reward structure for adepts, you're gatekeeping the casuals from sticking it out in the game mode, make it a lot more rewarding for people to join since you don't have any other lever to make this game mode appealing for the population.
My bad I just want to rant. Trials is so incredibly punishing now. As a solo if you get paired with the worse duo, you're just 5-0'd, it feels incredibly unfair losing to this scenario.
They need to attract casuals….
