You're Kidding, Right? (Destiny)

RNJesus needs a conversion, a makeover, an intervention, and maybe even a good old-fashioned ass kicking just for good measure.

RNG—really, in all its forms—is manipulated far too easily and far too often, inevitably wreaking havoc on the reward systems in our brains. Now, I personally don't know about Trials since I always stayed far away from it, but in a scenario like rank...unfortunately the numbers can be manually manipulated, too. Great players can derank or have bad days and drop their 'skill level', and casual players could hit a streak and get up higher than normal.

Really, it sucks. And I'm sorry you ran across such assholes on top of the unbalanced system too.

But Trials sucks. It's just cancer.

It’s not, really. Out of 30 games this weekend, that was the only one with toxic behavior. Sucks (for me) that it was on the last game I played… but it’s really not indicative of the game type in general. Also didn’t see any rank manipulation - just people trying their best to win.

Just bad luck. Guess it wasn’t really worth a post. Sorry.
