From the Update | I Feel the NEED... (Destiny)
I still think Year 1 Trials of Osiris was the place where Destiny supers really clicked in a great way. The nature of the elimination gametype motivated players to be less reckless with their supers, and hold them for moments when they could really make a key difference. It turned super usage into a sort of poker game. The matches were long enough that players would often get 2 or even 3 supers per game, but there was never that snowballing, runaway super-train scenario that plagued the 6v6 playlists. And what was so cool about it is that the supers themselves didn't change at all... the way people used them changed because the stakes were different. The risks involved were greater. In a control game, you can use a nova bomb to kill 1 player, get yourself killed due to being out of position, and its no big deal. But in trials, wasting a super like that could cost your team the match.
Oh man... I can't even begin to explain how much I miss D1 Trials of Osiris. Everything about it felt strategic, tense, exhilarating, full of tactical teamwork. I have a hard time explaining why, but D2 Trials of the Nine just feels different and 100% less fun.
Probably because you COULD pull off great plays and turn a match around. So the momentum of lots of games was constantly shifting.
