    I honestly have enjoyed it, it can be annoying but I appreciate the diversity of nodes.

    What does it’s in the third or a third beta testing have to do with the node they chose to put in? The defenders in the fights are already difficult why put in A very annoying node especially especially when it’s in Beta and they want people to play to get data

    If you don't know what beta testing means, I can't help you. It's a competitive mode, it's meant to be challenging when it goes live. You'll have a friendly version late where you won't have the pressure of ranks.

    This Is probably best node So far was in battlegrounds. Finally skill oriented node, where skill And strategy matters more then strenght od you roster. More strategy oriented node, JUST think And dont play like no node presented. Finally node where match Is not finishing in 40secs. Sometimes u Will not beat defender as your opponent.

    I don’t see how eating SP3s cause I did what I’m supposed to do (bait) is remotely involved with skill and strategy
    Because with skill And strategy there Is very low Chance to defender start SP3... IT means u failed bait speciál from sp1 with 4x dexterity in total time 4x 7secs... And strategy could ve to not spam specials And dont use heavy to prevenr power from second node.

    Your opponent faces the same nodes. Also don't bring champs with buffs. If your enemy is close to 2 bars, dex on purpose, then dex again, and keep hitting in block while baiting sp2. It's not perfect, but will work most of the time. For some champs it's even helpful, like if you're not confident with evading sp1 but fine with so, e.g. korg
    And finally, I hate Penny as well, so she gets banned once I see her. Easiest solution ever

    The point of the Beta is to try out things and gain feedback to improve it once it's live. Stop **** at people who are giving feedback.
    Let me know when you find feedback in this thread. All I see is complaining.

    Hadn't realized they switched over from Masochism to Power Snack, so my first BG fight this time around was rough stuff.

    Agree with OP of the problem of losing time trying to bait specials and taking an SP3 to the face.

    I'm not saying ridiculous AI can't happen and baiting specials isn't guaranteed, but you talk like it is just a given that you'll get hit by an sp3. Like it is impossible to just bait out sp1s, or do dex early so that you can account for the power gain, then dex again while it is on cooldown to assure yourself the buff. That is kinda how nodes like this are always countered.

    Maybe just one of the two nodes would be enough to keep it challenging and feel less aggravating?

    Do we play same game? Unplayable? JUST dont spam specials And heavy, start baiting from sp1, dont Dex specials, JUST block IT... IT IS hard node, but definitelly not unplayable. Also u have many nullify imunne champs, not ONLY powercontrol..

    Not as much hard as it is rng based. When the ai throws specials its the easiest node. When they dont you can spend 20 seconds trying to bait an sp2 or just eat an sp3 to the face
    This. powersnack is annoying because baiting in general has become much tougher. It feels like the AI dances around a lot more before throwing specials in general. Ive been noticing this in war as well, they barely seem to throw anything now. quite annoying.
    They dance, you dance, they gain power....win.

    Power snack and rise to power are starting to enter my nightmares 😖

    I don’t see the problem with varying nodes, at the end of the day everyone is facing the same. Some people find certain combinations more challenging for their skill set and their roster. I will have a field day when safeguard comes up because I say such a DoT heavy roster but wasn’t so suited to masochism.

    I don’t see a problem with power snack. I’ve only taken 2 special 3s in 12 wins and 5 losses. And both of those were fully my fault.

    They just need to make the dexterity precision buff a passive

    I don't mind Power Snack per se but it's very aggressive in BG. They build up power so fast. I ate two SP3s vs Warlock, for example. Still won the fight, somehow, but lost the overall match. Not complaining about that loss in and of itself - it was perfectly fair since the other guy was always slightly better than me in every fight - but that SP3 spam is pretty annoying.

    I wish they nerfed it ever so slightly. I think it's Power Snack 3 and I think it could be PS2 instead.

    It did make me appreciate Knull's lack of buffs (aside from the occasional dex), though. He's so good vs tech champions right now. Meanwhile, most other cosmic champions struggle mightily since all of their buffs are being eaten.

    If I am reading this correctly your saying that I should only bait SP1...which would force a timeout with 75% of the champs in this game. And I honestly don’t think rise to power is a problem, power snack is what I hate. If rise to power was by itself I don’t think it would be too bad but all power gain nodes in general I don’t think fit this content the best

    I wonder why my thread got so many disagree spams last week but people largely seem to be in agreement with this one 🤔
    All I ever said was that power snack & spite type nodes that rely too heavily on defender AI RnG shouldn't be in Battlegrounds

    WHO says, we Have to kill defender in 30 secs with 100% life? Well im not top of the game, my rating Is 1727. Same power node Is at war, 22 And Path 1 i think, nothing special

    In war u have ur entire roster except 3 bans to come up with an appropriate counter, & all the time in the world to strategise who to use & how to play
    U also have the option to use invulnerability boosts
    And there's no pressure of finishing the fights as quickly as possible & with as much health remaining as possible.....that's what we aim for in AW fights but it's not mandatory to ensure victory
    And even if u die there's still possibility that ur alliance eventually wins the war
    Battlegrounds is much different than AW

    I would like to know the expanse of nodes that will show up in BG once it officially goes live. Like will we see power shield? Destructive feedback? SUPER masochism?? 😱

    Power shield wouldn’t go very well imo cause most fight are SP2 and done. Quick fights for both players and not much of a challenge. It’s also kinda like how this node really suggests science champs, power shield suggests mutants, and I don’t think it’s good when it wants a lot of 1 specific class
