Best Of

Of course metas will influence who's usable, but that's the one and only factor that comes into play in BGs whereas every other game mode has multiple (boosts, suicides, synergies, persistent charges etc). BGs is the best game mode to test a champ's versatility for both nodes and defenders in general because it has the least amount of outside factors affecting a champ's kit, and yes I'm aware we got invade and power shield back to back but that's not the norm. I guess I could've worded it out better, it's not that BGs doesn't have any outside factors affecting a kit at all it's the fact that it's the one with the least, suicides boosts synergies persistent charges all out the window + like I mentioned on that one comment as well, unlike other game modes you get to try every attacker against every defender if you choose to do so on a daily basis with the meta being the only thing that affects them

Looks like I went against the community with 56% majority.

I was talking to Edison, lol. I mentioned you to say I liked your explanation of BGs.

Also, might I remind you that we met in person at Summoner’s Fest. Don’t be chill in person and then insult my intelligence behind your screen because you didn’t bother reading and chose to stubbornly re-emphasize your points.

Additionally, I still don’t believe he’s objectively mid. Unique way to deal damage (and a good deal of it), unique and seemingly fun playstyle, sick animations, and great counter to Kindred (and others, countering Miss is always a good thing and I’m pretty sure his Indestructible will counter Power Sting too) makes him a great champ in my book - just not the best for BGs.

U go on their profile and click report, this posting with name doesn't do anything especially when there is lack of proof on post such as this.

Biggest flaw of the anti-battleground narrative is that a lot of the meta BG champions are the best for other content too.

We can pretend all we want that every champion shines in different modes, but the truth is many BG staples are just the best champions in the game, for everything. Just to list a few, think of Onslaught, Jean Grey, Nico Minoru, Kushala, Okoye, Hulkling, Photon, Future Ant Man, Crossbones... All meta staples in BG, all great for War, Colossium, raids (when allowed), events...

i don’t agree with the “BG’s brain rot take”,..the mode is very useful in measuring a champions worth in both offensive and defensive utility that applies to many other areas of the game.

I play the game mode very casually,.,and not interested in the time consuming grind of going “all out”,..yet i still always consider Battlegrounds when ranking up champions,..honestly,..first and foremost

Just get Claire and leave it alone

While this post may sound nice, it’s just AI from someone who is playing a different game than I am. Now granted, I’m not saying you need to be valiant to have an opinion, etc. But we are simply not playing the same game. I want to maximize my rewards, and right now, that means trying to push in BGs. (Now I haven’t been able to due to work, but that’s another story).

And the fact of the matter is, the champs I rank up that are great for BGs are often great everywhere. I can use Jean in every game mode, Nico, Solvarch, etc. Champs like Blue Marvel, who I will probably still rank 4 because I like the character is probably not going to see much play.

Ultimately, “BGs brainrot” is not the player’s fault. We play the game mode with the most rewards (radiance), and right now, that’s BGs. Maybe that will change with Coliseum as we continue on, but rn, Kabam has made BGs where we get radiance, even if it’s infuriating at times
