If y'all want lower-skill players to stay in Trials, I'd recommend not insulting them when they are on your team.

I'm currently struggle-bussing my way to a Lighthouse passage as a solo (I'm 5-9 so far today, with a sub-.5), and the rate of matches where I've lost or been losing and subsequently been insulted in text chat by my teammates has been 100%.

I know I'm not a good PvP player (esp. not 3s), but the whole point of this rework is to try and get more people into the mode so there is a broader range of skill available for the playerbase to, well, farm. I can handle people being salty at me, but there are going to be a lot of players who are not going to be cool with it and are just going to dip and not come back if they are giving things a shot this weekend.

I'm not sure what else to say about it. I want this game mode to succeed. While I'm not good, I enjoy the challenge of trying to get better. I went flawless once during the last resurgence because there were just more people in the mode (and I played a lot more back then). I'd love for other players to be able to access that as well, but they won't get that chance if folks drive them off.
