The Titans were the subject of a lot of anger and resistance due to the secret nature of the system. No one ever knew when a case was brought, and no one ever had any real input into it. You couldn't defend yourself against an accusation, nor support your accusation. In addition, the results were never publicized (beyond the IG message in realm where the punishment was enacted), and the entire process was secret. When a ruling came out that was puzzling, there was never any way to resolve the confusion regarding some rulings.
The Magistrate system was intended to do sever things: Bring the process out into the open, establish a set of precedents that could be reviewed by the players, allow more players the opportunity to participate in the system, and let the community have some input into steering the game.
