Best Of

This right here:

"Just keep it simple. It shouldn't be done with the 30 or 40 addicts who have been playing all day for over a year in mind. Over 20,000 people play Battlegrounds."

100% agree with this, the meta is so cancerous and hard in terms of difficulty that week 3 is about to be over and Arcane is still at 150 when last season Arcane on week three was already close to 250, this is how much participation has dropped this season and it's all because of the RNG fiesta this meta has been so far.

Not only is the whole thing essentially a card drafting game because as you mentioned they have made multiple defenders that are unkillable without counters, you also have AI being completely random and it's never been this bad as far as I can remember. There are times where you'll go in against a Dust with Sunspot get intercepted four times in a row (even while doing light intercepts which are very safe) and die, and then there are times where you'll go in with Domino against the same defender and casually kill her in 25 secs full health even with the bleed immunity because you got AI that's in a vegetative state compared to the other one that appears to have been designed by Elon Musk himself. How is that fair? It's one thing to roll the dice on the draft but now it's the AI too? That's just absolutely ridiculous lmfao I hope they don't do this ever again, meta sounded meh on paper but after playing for four days straight trying to get to 200 points nah, this meta is by far the worst meta in the history of BGs and I was here back when we had that one electric defense meta everyone hated.

Use a champ that can’t miss. Like Photon or Bullseye. Yw

Ah yes cause they will simply show up in my draft every single time...

Miss isn't even the start of all of enchantress' problems

I only named 2 but there a lot of other champs who can take her with ease.

If you don’t know how to bait a heavy without blocking that’s a skill issue on your part. I’ve taken several enchantress at full hp. Just ban her if you can’t take her well, but I understand most people in the forums not talking about you specifically but others don’t switch up the strat or push themselves to figure out different ways to take a defender down. Personally I like the challenge makes things interesting. Rather have this than have 2 op attackers and win.

Use a champ that can’t miss. Like Photon or Bullseye. Yw

Yeah, here’s the issue with that. I recognize that they counter her excellently. However, when I only draft three defenders (due to draft RNG) I can’t afford to put photon or bullseye on offense, because they are so good on defense. So that don’t work out too well

I mean that a different issue entirely than what the op is talking about. Gotta get your deck situation right if you trynna compete. Plus this meta you want defenders that punish you for hitting block. Dust, Red Skull, Electro and Zola are some defenders that come to mind that slow attackers down.
I wouldn’t use Bullseye on def he gets nuked to fast by too many attackers. Besides dude is cooking a bunch of defenders in 30 secs. This meta he a cheat code.

I literally mentioned in the original post that I baited her heavy 3 times without blocking and missed every single hit, so idk where you got this "skill issue" comment from. The whole point is there no "strat", when dealing with rng-based kits, especially if you don't have the absolutely perfect counter. This is because every fight is different from the last with these champs, which heavily messes with skill expression. There is a difference between a "challenge", and genuinely unfair defenders reliant on luck.

I don't know who's been responsible for choosing them or who's started participating or being part of them, but Battlegrounds' metas have been terrible lately.

Stop power gain metas, the new champions you've created are extremely volatile to that mechanic.

Stop exaggerated damage metas when parrying, you've been creating champions that are impossible to give special dexterity to.

Stop hazard shift metas, 80% of the champions don't have the immunities you choose and the 20% that do have can't solo 100% of the defenders.

Stop unavoidable damage metas. Unless the prerequisite becomes using third-party software, this type of mechanic doesn't make sense in the game.

Do you want to make skill metas?

Use interception mechanics. (WITHOUT POWER GAIN)
Special retaliation mechanics. (NO UNBLOCKABLE SPECIALS)
Even inverted controls.
Combo reversal mechanics
Even mechanics that benefit spacing during specials (Tigra Gameplay)

Just keep it simple. It shouldn't be done with the 30 or 40 addicts who have been playing all day for over a year in mind. Over 20,000 people play Battlegrounds.

Adding radiance was a good move and brought people back to Battlegrounds, but the problems that drove them away are worse than ever. But now there is an obligation on the part of those who want to compete to play this. Instead of stopping Battlegrounds, people will stop playing the game, because they will be forced to have an extremely unpleasant experience.

In fact, the main problem is that maybe you haven't realized yet that you created such strong defenders that the fewer nodes you put in the better. If years ago, in the first seasons of Battlegrounds, when Korg was the best defender in the game, the best metas were those with few nodes, nowadays this should be the rule. The more things you put in, the more you will break the game. Sometimes you put in nodes that would give 2 entire seasons in the same week.
