So we finally discovered what you believe to be competitive. Totally RNG-based, grind-focused content. Got it. Please spare us any future posts from you about BGs.

Read what I said in the last sentence. For a mode to be Competitive there has to be a level playing field which this mode does by giving everyone the same access to champs. Nobody is locked out of competing just because they don't have the champs or have them leveled up. I am consistently getting 900 points every reset by using the same strategy every time. You complain about it being too RNG focused yet BGs is literally the exact same and even worse.

First you have to get the champ, then you have to get the resources to rank them up, and finally you have to make sure you draft them. All of this is RNG that even requires money to achive.

The reason why I said a 2 star meta is because kabam doesn't have the technology to make it so your roster in one mode is separate from your roster in the main game. If I said kabam should give us 52 seven stars fully maxed out for a BGs meta they couldn't do that without actually giving those champs to keep permanently. Obviously there will be attacker and defender nodes along with the usual rules that will boost the health values so that fights wouldn't be done in 10 seconds.

When everyone has access to the same character all at max rank, the only deciding factor is who plays better not who spent the most.

Dreadful logic.

I imagine we can’t call the premier league competitive then because some football clubs are richer, and spend more on players than others..

I would say its more a single player mode with a competitive element than a straight up competitive mode. After all its the side quest still, but with an added leader board element. There is strategy and decision making in terms of how many swaps you do and when you do them, but yes also rng plays its role for sure.

Are you expecting this release this type of game mode on a permanent basis?

The plan is more that we'll have more variety in side quests and be able to swap between more diverse varieties. Want to combat the current status of side quests feeling a little stale and repetitive.

But the new event gets stale and repetitive after you figure out what's expected and do it once. And also it lacks any fighting mechanics, but has all the new type of card interactions that probably took noticable time to code.
I'd rather play something like that thing for top progression level where you swap champs every 3 fights. Add some rng there, like start with a limited deck like bg and give selection of 3 champs from 5-8 and then lock used champs for several 3 fights sections with random nodes or defenders. Or just challenging fights with objectives like it was for suffering season. Or just say that this month sq is arena, imo it would be somewhat similar to the new mode (I never play arena except since special events)

KabamPinwheel, why are some players able to play and some are not, surely there will be some kind of compensation for the ones who have missed out on getting those points.

The majority of summoners are currently able to play without issue. Unfortunately some summoners are stuck in a bad state and we're working to unstick them currently, thats the fix we're working on

But for those that are unable to play will there be some sort of compensation? Since we are most likely gonna be far behind on point compare to the other players that didn’t have the issue
