Your roster is far far far more than enough. Your top 2 rows are enough to beat any quest upto valiant. You should absilutely give it ago, u have more than enough good characters.
Battlegrounds is becoming exhausting for F2P players

I’ve been pushing Battlegrounds as a F2P player and honestly I’m reaching a point where I feel burned out.
I spent around 1k units just trying to get the last Stellar Blade piece, fought through a lot of difficult matches, and somehow managed to climb all the way to Vibranium VI. But now it feels like I hit a wall.
My roster mainly has R4, R3, and even R2 champions, and I keep getting matched against what feels like full whale accounts with stacked rosters. At that point, it starts feeling less about skill and more about who spends more on their account.
I know Battlegrounds is supposed to be competitive and roster progression matters, but competing against accounts with significantly stronger rosters feels almost impossible as a F2P player.
I tried hard, spent resources, pushed through difficult matches, but after seeing loss after loss, I’m honestly losing hope and motivation.
Any other F2P players feeling the same, or am I just hitting the normal BG wall?
Re: Battlegrounds is becoming exhausting for F2P players
Totally normal bro , everyone is sweating for the blade piece , if your deck is not full of r4s or even r3s in vib 4 definitely gonna be hard , my best advice is wait for the last week to farm those last ranks , or just keep trying eventually you'll get luck matches , my deck had only 7 r4s and 2 r5s the rest all r3s and i managed to get in the circuit in the first week , lots of full pages of defeats win a game lose 5 lol , i am just to stubborn to stop until i get what i want but waiting for the last week is definitely the best play especially with this terrible meta .

I just gave up,it's not worth the grind. The new side quest is so much more fun
Re: Battlegrounds is becoming exhausting for F2P players
I understand your point, the grind is definitely part of it. But for F2P players the grind feels even heavier because roster progression is much slower. Seeing the same defenders repeatedly is one thing, but constantly running into deeper, stronger rosters while trying to climb makes it feel even more exhausting.
Re: Battlegrounds is becoming exhausting for F2P players
Haha, if only it were that easy 😄 I’m not against spending, I just choose to play F2P. I’m fine with grinding, but the gap can feel pretty rough in Battlegrounds sometimes.
Re: Battlegrounds is becoming exhausting for F2P players
I get that honestly. Battlegrounds started feeling more stressful than fun for me too. At least the new side quest feels more enjoyable and less like constantly sweating every match 😅
Re: Battlegrounds is becoming exhausting for F2P players
In ur exact position. V4 ftp, deck mainly r3s, a few r4s and a few r2s. Haven't spent any units yet on victory shields but yh its such a grind. Lost 15 matches in a row in V4, genuinely not fun at all against massive accounts
Re: Battlegrounds is becoming exhausting for F2P players
Yeah we’re basically dealing with the same issue. I feel Kabam could’ve handled the Blade piece better though. Locking such a wanted reward behind an intense BG grind while everyone is sweating makes it rough for players with smaller rosters. The competition is fine, but the matchmaking and grind for it feels a bit too much.
Re: Battlegrounds is becoming exhausting for F2P players
Finally someone whos goin thru the same as me. I’m Vib 4 right now and I only have 1 r5, couple r4’s and some r3’s in my deck. Genuinely facing the same decks as a FTP is exhausting, if you’re not fast enough or you get shafted during your champion selections. Its a loss eveeytime. I had my longest loss streak ranged from 7-14 in this season.
