Best Of

I also think banquet this year was a huge leveller for 1000’s of summoners sitting in and around the top 3-5%, and that’s contributed to the struggle. Almost everyone picked up a Nico, Jean Grey, Karolina, Zola, etc., etc., (assuming they didn’t have them before) with all the shards that were kicking around and then had access to huge amounts of rank 4 materials in the same event.

The end result is BG decks, 90% of which will contain the same 20 or so meta champs, all at rank 4, and then it’s just down to who draws what.

Now we’re moving into R5’s, and to a lesser extent new ascension, we might start to see a less even spread of champs and ranks and that might remove some of the blockages.

Majority don't touch battlegrounds

Especially this season, the participation numbers are record low in history

his bio also let’s us know important narrative info as Isophyne plans to use him as a weapon against the Eidols.

I do feel that once again there was a missed opportunity to bring up Blood Hunt as an event. Thor could have gotten a cool synergy, Miles, Doom, Strange, Moon Knight. But the short stick has been drawn. Still a cool kit overall but Blade’s definitely going to be in the C tier ranges or worse.

that is pretty much the only time i will play it. do it in the last week and let folks quit on me so i can hit GC faster.

would love to ignore it, but they are going to force everyone into it again with the Stellar Blade piece….

this game mode needs to change. Much time to invest but less reward> Many players dont have such time to play.

The argument that "BGs has the best rewards, I need those to progress" never made any sense.

If you are someone who already whales out on every sale, BGs radiance will get you barely one rank 4.

If you are a progressing player (1 or 2 rank 4s) who is looking to get more rank 4s, you simply could not compete past plat, let alone GC.

If you are a mid level account (15-20 rank 4s), the radiance you get will still not be enough for a full rank 4. You get better rewards from solo and alliance coliseum.

The only reason why I still play BGs is because Kabam keeps locking chase pieces behind it. If kabam wasn't scared to show BGs engagement statistics it would be so obvious that chase pieces artificially inflate the numbers. They falsely interpret these numbers and then come to the conclusion that the new season meta is actually very good and engaging, why else would so many people be playing BGs right now!!!!!

Personally, i've quit battlegrounds. It is a p2p mode now. I focus my attention on other modes. I do have 5 wins and thats it.

Battlegrounds is trash,

They made a mode that determines the top 3 to 5% without a way to progress and then wondered why 95% of the playplayer base isn’t really that interested.

So then they added the victory circuit to give good rewards, thinking they can get more people interested, which it does, however, it also leaves the mass frustration because these people don’t care if they’re in the top 3% or 5% or 10% or 20%. They just want to progress their character.

IIt’s a fundamental misunderstanding of what most of the player base wants wwhen they login and play .

There should be no setback for losing in the victory circuit, and the nodes should be more vanilla because these people don’t want to compete.

This thing where I have to dodge a certain way to get a massive bonus to make me do extra damage so I can win is BS and most people don’t want to do it. They just want to show up run a fight or 2, collect their rewards and go home and you’re getting in the way of that which makes it frustrating.

The victory circuit nodes should be something like the defender has limber unless you have class advantage or maybe if you’re using a saga attack or depending on how thematic they wish to be.

Other variations are possible, but save this BS complicated stuff for the gladiator circuit and let those people that really wanna compete, compete! .

Let the sweats compete for nominal rewards, and titles because they’re really in to see who’s the best which is fine!!!

Or stop guilt, tripping everyone else to play your poorly designed mode just so you can bump up your attendance. The only people enjoying this bullies because they’re the only ones that enjoy beating up on somebody who who barely wants to be there in the first place!

And then everybody will have more fun
