Dumbest realm event they ever made

All of those champs have been at the top of the game before. The problem with your theory that they should remain constantly relevant is that Kabam would need to buff them all pretty much yearly or handcuff themselves with every single other champ they make. Would it really be helpful or healthy for the game if every single time Kabam made a new mutant they had to compare it with Wolverine to make sure they didn't knock him too far down the list?

No, the game would not be better if Kabam obsessed over making 10 characters out of thousands the top priority in every single decision they make. It would probably be worse.

I can understand wanting your favorite characters to be the best, but that's simply not how the game is ever going to work. And there's plenty of players out there who rank and play with their favorite characters regardless of whether or not they are "meta" champions. Everyone has that choice.

… I am staying infected.

Before you claim another bounty entry, I'd go preview the map again to see which ones you've already completed

Yep. And no one has been able to show me Kabam explicitly saying that sp1 bias means that the defender will throw the sp1 even while you're blocking. There's no sp1 bias in Bishop's kit yet he would throw it while you're blocking or not. He and others with whom the sp1 is beneficial.

Trying to push her to sp2 she will throw sp1 into block repeatedly inflicting stings meaning you can't use specials and if you do you're ****.

I agree with you. I consider myself as a mid-level player. I cannot do many "celestial" skills like reparry or perfect intersepts. I am 31, my reaction time is slower than for 20 years players. I will never become MSD or TrapMC. I even do not want to. I tried to learn reparry, spent 2 days trying and my fingers are just not that fast or whatever. Anyway, I am so tired from my work and life, that I just do not have time and wish to sit and learn the game. I just want to have fun. At the same time, I like my level of playing. My skills are enough to shine in Platinum 6 and be somewhat decent in Quantum in BG.

However, I feel and see that people are leaving BG more and more with each season.
When Radiance was just introduced in objectives, I think I was in Arcane when reached 200 points. And it did not take a lot of time as a mid-level player I won more than lost. In my alliance the event for BG was closed in a few weeks.
And with each season reaching 200 points was becoming harder and harder. Now in my alliance we do not close even a half of the event. When I play BG I face soo skilled players, that it is a very very tough fight. I should be 500% focused on a game and keep every second, every % of the health to win.

This led me spending 10 h previous Monday and Tuesday to progress from 176 points to 200. Just because my stats were win-lose-win-lose-win-lose.
I decided that I will not care about last milestone next season if I will not make it within 3 fights per 2 days objectives. I will get what I will earn. 10k radiance just do not cost that much efforts. I am OK with less amount of rewards and normal mental health.

Kabam should remake the points system in GC, otherwise, it will become to a place for only 2-3k people, the most skilled players. But wait, are there only 2-3k players in the game? No, just by looking at rank rewards for realm event, there are rewards for 1 million people. So, why Kabam again makes the mistake they did 6+ years ago, by releasing content and focusing on content for minority of people?

They could at least reduce amount of points you lose. Or grant additional points, which will cover the minus points for specific achievements in the fight. For example, you defeated the enemy +2 points. You finished with 80%+ health - thats +2 points, 90%+ health - thats +3 bonus points. You finished fight within 90 seconds - thats +2 points, within 60 seconds - thats +3 points. Your total score for 2-3 rounds just 100-200 points lower than from your opponent - this is +5 points. Such compensation will still reward skilled players. But at the same time it will give opportunity for the mid-level and low-level players to feel engaged in the competition.

Instead we have the most frustrating, punishing and toxic game mode ever.
3 years of BG and it is on the same state as was released. And according to livestreams nothing is gonna change there. Sadly, but trully, Kabam is killing this game mode. And, IMO, introducing system of lowering the points if you do not play will not help, it will lead to an opposite effect. Instead of making this mode interesting, they will make it even more punishing to player's efforts.

fyi -

Two days before the end of the season, a single victory in gladiator still grants URU 2.

That’s how low BG participation is.

Participation in GC has been steadily decreasing from the highs of when Radiance was first introduced (the points required to be in any specific tier for tiers below Mysterium have steadily dropped). I think what you are experiencing is exactly that "zero sum game" problem when there aren't any new players coming in.

It will be interesting whether the introduction of "Unranked mode" might cause another precipitous drop, as now players can just opt for the less stressful unranked matches to fulfill the daily objectives. I think even if a point decay system is introduced to try to discourage camping, I don't think that there will be any change in commitment level of diehards vs dilettantes.
