Respectfully disagree (Destiny)

Except matching by wins is essentially skill-based matchmaking (slightly different, but similar). Again, that would create a system where less experienced teams end up being matched together while the more experienced teams get pitted against each other. That is fundamentally opposed to the spirit of a competitive mode.

I still think the solution is not to change Trials itself, but provide other avenues for players to gain experience and get better, such as making the elimination playlist a permanent fixture.

Why do you think it's a good idea to intentionally pit first-timers against seasoned vets?

It is true; the card-based matchmaking idea is still "skill based" to a degree - but so what if you start off facing teams of similar skill level? Why is that a bad thing? If you DO end up progressing to the higher brackets you will be facing the top-tier teams anyway, just the same as if you faced them first-off, the difference is that you'd at least have a few wins under your belt and wouldn't be completely mentally broken already - don't discount the effects of mental state.

I don't disagree that the F1 driver who showed up to race-day having never driven the track shouldn't expect to go flawless. In my defense though; I didn't get to pick the track and a practice-track doesn't exist. So to that point, I also agree that a "Trials Trials" is a great idea.
