Best Of

I'd be willing to put money on you being a merc. Maybe you didn't cheat, but you helped others cheat. And now Kabam has found all the accounts used on the device you helped people cheat with and they've banned them all. There was someone mercing a few months back that resulted in 71 accounts, including their own, being banned. It was a great day, and now here's another great day.

Thanks Kabam 🥳

Could be worse. If you were based in Palo Alto instead of Vancouver, everyone would have beards. The men, the women, the pets. By now Optimus Prime would have grown a beard all by himself.

All the John's have beards, it's really frustrating

We don't do Legend Runs in Story Content anymore, but if we did, you would have placed 1st… by a LOT.

Also, I don't know a Gilbert.

The short answer is that collectives are a reason to rank up everyone.

The other short answer - pretty much everyone there is worth ranking up except for Gambit unless you love his playstyle. Dust is my personal favorite and she was my first 7r5. Very much looking forward to hopefully having her at A2.

Kindred, which is why he's r5 twice ascended so he'll be banned and I never have to fight him in BG .

Yeah, this is the point: it's not fun. I'm in Vibranium 3 and I'll eventually get to the Gladiator Circuit, but will I enjoy myself on the way there? Not at all. I'll have spent my time struggling against stronger accounts, ensuring that they get their money's worth at my expense, hoping to get enough viable matchups in a row so that I can actually advance.

Along the way, I'll have to contemplate ranking champions that I don't really want to rank to be slightly more competitive, which is not fun. I'll run out of Victory Shields and have to wait until the purchase limit timer resets to buy more, which is not fun. I'll have to mute most of my opponents, because the account that has three more rank 5 7*s and all the paywalled and trophy champs isn't content to simply beat me by running out the timer with their roster's larger huge health pools, they want to spam laugh emotes at me while they do it, which is not fun. I'll have to avoid playing other game modes I enjoy because I need to finish the BG season before it ends so I won't lose the Blade piece, which is not fun. And if I want to vent or sympathize with other beleaguered players, I'll come to the forums and probably get told that, actually, because some other player managed to beat what they consider to be stacked decks, that really my problem is that I need to get better at the game, which is not fun. (Alternately, I might be told that I have hit my ceiling and that I should work on my deck, which presupposes that the players that I'm struggling against somehow won't have even more R5 7*s and all the newest and rarest champs by the time I make those improvements, which again, is not fun.)

I could of course sit out the season and buy the Blade piece with units (if it's offered) and then have to make up the deficit in arena at the expense of my time. Need I say it? Not fun.

And I'm going to be honest. I understand that this game is part of a business, and that Battlegrounds is a key component of the game that Kabam needs to monetize. I get it. I just wish that this didn't have to happen at the expense of fun for so many players.

Hit up Revives R Us before @peixemacaco clears the shelves.

Nobody’s banning you for this with a hundred similar posts. Mods don’t mod here anymore anyway.
