Battlegrounds

I must say it reminds me of golf. It will irritate you and you’ll wonder why you do it and then you have a great shot (or win in battlegrounds) and you’re like “ok I like this.” 🤣. I do think the algorithm for match ups needs a tweak. I’m TB with a decent amount of r2’s and I think 9 r3’s but I’ve been matched with people with an entire list of r3’s and I’m like “I must have been a POS in my past life to deserve this” lmao

It’s fun though, and I think the battlegrounds market is pretty nice, maybe a tad high on price but still nice to be able to obtain the resources that way.

What do yall think, should they lower the price of incursion and battlegrounds market just a little?

    The matchmaking issue will work itself out as we all play a while. We started with same rating of 1500, which is how we’re matched. Over time we’ll match with players more our speed, mostly.

    I love getting parried by the defender. It's just annoying when it's in arena and I put up with it...but during a timed fight that requires high skill and reaction time???

    Awesome move Kabam

    Why are you blaming kabam for you being parried? You’re fighting against masteries…

    Idk if the matchmaking will fully play its self out. Because some folks with large rosters suck lol and some are good with smaller rosters. There won’t be as much roster disparity but I can see it still happening. The whales will be at the top but some whales will still be facing folks they will demolish, could tweak match making more but I’d prefer to lose a few matches to huge accounts then to continue getting matched against cheaters.

    Only if everyone keeps playing, which for lower players (Cav,UC) means keep losing. Can't imagine that'd make for a very engaging game mode.
    They could maybe fix/improve it by giving players a starting score based on progression. Would start a little more even than everyone in the same bracket.

    Getting parried in arena is no big deal. Bigger circumstances in BG.

    Circumstances change but the fault doesn’t. It was your fault in arena, it’s your fault in war and it’s still your fault in battlegrounds. Not sure what that has to do with kabam? Or you want them to remove masteries just for battlegrounds to appease you?

    I wish that sp3 animations were skipped by default in battlegrounds, or had an X second cutoff. The difference in length of time between champ animations can make the difference in a tight match, and sometimes you need to use the sp3 in order to access a key piece of utility or upgrade your damage output.

    I think a 5 second animation cutoff would be cool; there should be some strategy tied into using a sp3, especially since time is part of the scoring metric
