Statcast is basically gear. Something the community made very clear we didnt want, so they wrapped it into a striker.

Those stupid poison and bleed nodes need to go why is that still in the quests, it’s not even about the values anymore cause those are fine it’s just the stupid outdated nodes

Poor node design, mainly for tech, cosmic.

They need to add a node that helps the attacker. Like for cosmic, every 10 hits apply an armor break. Or for tech, power drain on parry if you have armor up, and every 10hits get a 5-10sec armor. Or on intercept, special or heavy punish. Something....

Not even a little bit

I think you need more arrows

I've thought about this too but I think it comes with its own host of issues.

(1) BGs already rewards people who play 16 hours a day during every day of the season, people like Beroman and Steeler and others. Yes, they risk losing points by playing, but basically they play so much that they can both fine tune their strategies for the meta and play through losing streaks until they get those big winning streaks to pull ahead.

It's funny when I watch a stream and some C4 or C5 player gets beat by a Mysterium or Quantum player and they're shocked because they assume if you're in those lower brackets it's because you lack skill. They never realize that some people are in those tiers because they just have lives and not because they lack skill.

Anyway, the point being, BGs already rewards players who play nonstop; getting rid of losing points will only exacerbate this and widen the gap between the no-lifers and the casuals.

(2) You're going to see a lot of forfeits and shady tactics. If you can lose a match to your friend and not hurt yourself in the process, this will completely ruin the competitive integrity of BGs, or whatever is left of it anyway. People have already accused some top players of doing this, so imagine if you have a scenario where it becomes even easier/more incentivized to forfeit on purpose.

(3) If anything, win-loss record is a better guage of skill than total raw points. Because you can have a player who finishes a season with say a 25-2 record in GC, and then someone with a 80-50 record will finish higher than them despite clearly being a weaker player. So to take away points for losing will just make the mediocre grinders do even better.

No, Battlecasts are much much stronger than Statcasts when paired with the right Champion.

no the problem is they originally said they would be the same, which is not what this is. It’s not just complaining to complain they deserve all the **** they are getting anyway are you kidding me right now, sound like a bootlicker
