Re: battlegrounds is in its most unplayable state
I think the biggest problem for me is how rock-paper-scissorsy the mode has become. The defenders are so niche and difficult nowadays that they are pretty much impossible to beat... unless you have the one or two specific champs that hardcounter them. Then the round is an instant win.
And everyone runs like the same champs anyways. So now every match is just a test to see who gets the better draft. Of course that has always been present in some way but I feel like with how many defenders they keep pumping out it just gets more and more pronounced. The game feels like clash royale now where its all dependent on who has the counter. That works in CR cause CR matches are like 2 minutes and more fast paced but it feels kinda frustrating in the BGS format. Like its soooo fun just getting wiped by serpent and then having to sit and watch a timer count down for 90 seconds knowing you lost.
The current champ design philosophy just feels lame honestly. It just sucks trying to fight the meta defenders + nodes without the counter because u know u arent meant to win. And even when you do have the perfect counter its not that much more satisfying because its not really skill... its just you picked a champ who was designed to destroy the defender. I can't speak for everyone obviously but I really do think Kabam needs to reconsider their champion design philosophy just a bit in regards to Battlegrounds.
I think Bastion and Jack (and Okoye to a degree) are a step in the right direction. They are designed to counter certain matchups but are also generalist attacks that can handle a lot of stuff. If Kabam wants to make niche defenders at least make the attackers more generalists so that BGS isnt so rock-paper-scissors

Re: Summoners Fest - Vote Claimed but still .. 0?
Because they haven't told us who the options are yet. Obviously. Or are you just that dense? It also very clearly states after the realm event is over you can vote.

Ah, the same old and unsolvable mystery of Dazzler vs Sinister
“Relic Items Are Not part of The Reward Budget”
Given kabam has stated that relic items are not part of the regular reward budget and hence do not replace any reward (ie they are only a bonus), why is the direct analog of the titan shards in the valiant selector relic items for the two progression tiers below it?
Re: Where are the rewards for the event
Yeah I did 115k and don’t have any milestones in the recruitment event. While others that did much less have the first couple milestones. Maybe still calculating?

Re: WORST BG META IN HISTORY!!!!
Invade was actually fun thoWhat do you mean? I've absolutely hated the last two BG metas (power burn and invade). They were awful and Kabam sucks imo for making us play these gimmicky nodes in the most important game mode.Are we talking about the new BG meta?How much did kabam pay you to write this?
No more losers trying to draft 6R3 Viv and 6R2 Duck?
Galan no longer the greatest champ in MCOC history?
Sign me up. Let's play some actual fights with actual skill (and I was in M2 this morning, so I had no issues navigating the gimmicky scoundrel rounds of the first two weeks).
