Best Of

I really would like for matchmaking to not just be for current rank rating (ex. Arcane 1 with Arcane 1) but also maybe prestige or average battle deck power rating instead. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels like this and would be interested in what the community has to say.

This would be the most unfair matchmaking system ever. Imagine someone who’s normally in the middle of gladiator circuit, but doesn’t want to fight larger accounts, decided to make a new account for battlegrounds. They keep prestige and the bottom of their deck low, and they cruise up towards very high rewards because all they had to do was fight people who had the same deck as them but significantly less experience. That’s an extreme example, but it’s not unlikely.

There are problems with every system. I get frustrated at our battlegrounds system sometimes too, but it’s the most fair way to do it. If you reach your peak in bgs, go explore content to get rank 4 7*s and then go back to battlegrounds. I’m ftp and that’s what I did. I’m still at a disadvantage because the bottom of my deck is worse than most people where I am in gc, but I stand a fighting chance.

Yeah apparently I really struck a cord here...I was just frustrated with my matchmakings getting beat by rosters that are way better and losing to games simply cause my roster isn't as big a variety or high of health. But I also didn't want to come on here to rant just to rant cause I don't think that is helpful in any way so I thought I'd give an idea for a solution at least, but obviously that isn't what wants to be heard lol.

Appreciate the insight.

Hey, sorry if some of us sounded critical.. it was a valid question
And you are taking the feedback graciously and it's appreciated
But yeah, it kind of happens to all of us.. we go on a win streak and then run into an account that has us outmatched - just keep grinding 💪

It's all good, I get that there are people more experienced and passionate about the game in this space then me lol

I appreciate the encouragement.

I commend you for keeping an open mind. Many times these discussions devolve into, well, not this. Unfortunately, to someone the system will always have flaws. Currently,, its your turn. That'll change soon hopefully for you. Keep on grinding & maybe sometime your roster will be the reason for a similar post...

Yeah, it's just interesting how it is all set up and frustrating at times for sure. I wish there was a simple solution to it all, but that's not the case always.

Appreciate the insight and encouragement and hopefully I'll get up there sooner rather than later lol.

This one has sort of gained “meme thread” level status.
(and of course there's the Wishlist thread too, which is really just silly at this point).

But that doesn’t mean that they will allow say 25 other people to each start creating their own new “Day 1” threads all over the place about all the other non-7* champs.

Early on (first 50 ?? days), in response to the spam every day, nobody seemed to realize that all the ODD day entries were all getting removed. Moderated from being (insert Monty Python reference here) “SPAM-A-LOT” to “Spam-not-quite-so-much-a-lot”.

Saw an occassional “you missed a day” comment. But don't recall anyone getting that whole thing. And “actual” mods were letting it stay up, so…

Lots of words just to say "we won't be closing it."

My understanding of BGs is that it is to prove who are the best players in the game, not who spends the most amount of money. The rewards are what drives the players to participate yes, and I do believe that if you're spending the money in the game then you should be rewarded well, but if they're not good at the game why does it make sense that money should take away from people who are actually more skillful or knowledgeable of the game? I remember working my way up and losing to rosters by just sitting on pause because their defensive champs were way better. I'm not saying I'm the best out there or above middle-class even, it just doesn't make much sense to me that that is the reward we think people should gain from spending money in a game.

For example a group of young kids start playing this one sport. Some kids come from wealthier backgrounds and then there's some players who don't. Do the wealthier players automatically go pro? No. It's the players who practice and get better despite the money they put in. It shouldn't matter based on how much money they spend on the game they play. I don't know if that makes much sense, and the analogy will be flawed to some degree, but just processing through this lens of forums.

You're confused. The only pay to play aspect of of BGs is people who have spent money to get big rosters. You can't pay money to be good at BGs. Many of these players buy their way through content. Sure their roster is big but most likely, they don't have have the skills to compete, especially if they're in the lower brackets.

There are many with big rosters and good skill but they are already at the top in BGs. You most likely aren't facing them unless you're in celestial.

Stop making sense they can't understand

I thought you were done? Or you’re just done whining about easy content like WoF?

Cries about WoF but wants to talk down to others. Nice.
