GernaderJake: The Problem with Duos in Trials of Osiris

As a long-time Trials of Osiris enthusiast, I wholeheartedly agree with GernaderJake’s concerns about Duos. Having played this game for years, I can attest to the frustration of being matched against highly skilled opponents with little chance of victory. It’s like showing up for a pick-up basketball game only to find out Michael Jordan is on the other team.


In my recent gaming session with GernaderJake, we dived into the latest video where he highlighted a significant problem in Trials of Osiris – the absence of control and unbalanced matchmaking in Duos mode. He voiced his dissatisfaction towards the existing system that often pits us against highly skilled opponents, leaving little to no room for victory.

Key Takeaways:

  • Duos in Trials of Osiris lack agency and the power to influence match results.
  • Matchmaking often pairs highly skilled opponents against solo players, resulting in unfair matches.
  • GernaderJake still plays Duos to relax, but believes it is detrimental to the playlist overall.

The Lack of Agency in Duos

In the Trials of Osiris, GunnerJake underscores the significance of personal control or agency in gameplay. He argues that every player should be able to impact the results of a match. Unfortunately, in Duos mode, this autonomy seems to vanish. When players enter a match and encounter highly skilled opponents, regardless of their individual skills, they have little to no chance of victory. This absence of control leaves GunnerJake and numerous other gamers feeling frustrated.

Unfair Matchmaking

In his analysis, GunnerJake highlights the problematic team matching in Trials of Osiris Duos as another significant point of contention. He provides an instance where a single player like himself was pitted against a more skilled Duo. This unequal pairing significantly hampers solo players and creates a disheartening gaming environment. GunnerJake argues that this unfair matchmaking has detrimental effects on the playlist and requires attention from the game developers to be rectified.

Playing Duos to Relax

Although Duos in Trials of Osiris have some challenges, GernanderJake continues to play it as a means to unwind following a demanding weekend of Trials carries. He acknowledges that this mode provides a refreshing break from intense competition. Yet, he underscores the importance of addressing and resolving the Duos-related problems to enhance the gaming experience for all players.
