Best Of

I don't think they're intentionally frustrating people, any further than trying to provide adequately-challenging content. I just think that the increase in strengths of Rosters plus the range of OP Champs has made their Node objectives much more severe than is necessary. I think the game mode is outgrowing the model of having everyone together every Season in the VT.

The entire community was enraged with the nuke strat meta last month. You really think they'll make it a nuke meta again?

I'm not sure you even play the game episode lmao

BG mode "healthy/balance" eco have beeb destroyed, due to Kabam years over monetisation and toxic Def, the gap between Top end spender to everyone is massive, and while Kabam messing about various "so far ridiculously stupid ideas", participation continue to drop off every season.

This broken eco will only be worst as time go on, with the exclusive new champions 7*Ascension and collective. There are no meta nodes that will make BG better, the BG designers are powerless.

This season meta, is a perfect example, it is more skill dependant, however skill will only get players so far, if you are facing a A2R5 7* Def, you will still be out time if you got a weaker Def.

BG mode is in vicious cycle, it is no longer fun and time invest is not equal to rewards, so participation reduce, which make is even less enjoy and cost more to get nothing, and so the cycle continue.

Kabam can continue messing about with nodes and dex size, ect. But the easiest and simplest way to help the mode is by restructure the pointing system and how players progress.

VT - 1 Token per win fight (not match),

Eg, 2 - 0, Winner get 2 tokens

2 - 1, Winner get 2 tokens, Loser get 1 token.

By doing this, it give players hope, even when face an account much bigger, because they can still potentially make progress, by focus on winning even just 1 fight, encourage skills and strategy.

Same can be applied to GC, 5 points (average) per fight.

With no deduction of token, players know that they will make progress if they put in the time.

Then Kabam can put whatever chase item behind VT.

This won't "fix" BG, but sure will help improving it.

Until then, it is actually best to take BG as a casual mode, jump in once in awhile if you got free time, mess about with a few matches, win or lose and move on. It jist not worth the "stress"

I'm just glad we're not stuck chasing a Stellar Forge piece in BattleGrounds again. I feel like I can wade in here and there and hope for some viable matchups without getting too stressed out.

It was a huge sigh of relief during the recent livestream when it was announced that Kabam was listening to player feedback last season and was acting on it.

80 is the max per run
