Battlegrounds Suggestions

We know that some people are in constant talks with Kabam giving feedbacks about Battlegrounds, but the suggestions of the regular player base are spreaded through a lot of posts in the general discussions… thought this could gather them all in one post so Kabam could have an easier access to all of them…

Regarding this last Beta… I have two suggestions…

First… extend back the timer and give us really 2 minutes… not 1:50 after the running animations at the start… 90 seconds make useless the use of 5* (especially with the introduction of 6*r4) and remove the option to use sp3 because of the giant waste of time (skip button should be a thing in BGs by the way)

The second suggestion is that we could see in the history of the matches… the champions banned from both sides… this way we could analise and plan better our Deck Building

Your saying you want sp3 to be inactivated? So you could pin an opponent in the corner with zero fear of the sp3?

Not at all… I’m saying that is a bad idea to use sp3 as an attacker because you waste a lot of time watching the animation… and reducing the time from 120 seconds to 90 seconds makes it even worse

I preferred the longer fight timer.

As long as there are cheaters, the leaderboard should not be tied to rewards.

Keep the mode fun. This is a game.

For a little more info on the cheaters topic:

Yesterday, someone(s) from the team went through and did a round of bans for modding. I believe the number was just shy of 100 and, if I'm not mistaken, many of the targets were the result of support ticket reports.

They did mention that they were not visually removed from the leaderboard and are investigating more into why that's the case. Investigation because: Beta.

This was independent of the final sweep of the leaderboards between the end of season and reward distribution.

Dear Jax, I pose you this question: let's say i'm ranked 1050 a couple of hours before the end of the Beta; shall i keep playing or not? Well, i don't know, because the rank it's still affected by the modders even if they r banned, since they r not removed from the standing. I mean, it's that hard to remove them from it?

They are removed from the leaderboards on the backend (where it matters). It's just not showing that way to the players.

While I generally do like the snappiness of the 90-second fight, I do also agree that it significantly reduces what you can do and who you can use. Slow ramp-up champions were never going to thrive in the mode, but with a reduced timer even more champions fall off. Quick, bursty damage becomes more important than something that builds up over even a little time.

In previous betas, the nodes defined who would be the best options. With the reduced timer, the burstiness of a champion often does instead. Champions like Cosmic Ghost Rider just blitz through with ease. I don't mind him being an amazing solution for the odd node here and there, but the shorter the timer, the more likely he (and similarly bursty champions like him) is to be the best answer.

Moreover, defenders that slow you down (like Peni Parker) become incredibly annoying since you don't have much time to actually deal with them.

All of that said, I think that this could be something that is introduced occasionally to mix things up. Similarly to the reduced health pools, I don't see any problem with a reduced timer as such. I just don't want it to be the norm since it doesn't allow for too much (fun) strategy in the long run. However, if used in conjunction with the right nodes, I think it can work occasionally.

Is there any info on if the official leaderboard (without those who have been banned) will be released before Monday? Just for the purpose of knowing if I’m actually top 2500 or 1000 and if I need to push further. Thanks

Reduce character selection time to 10 seconds or less.
No need for battle ground start1,2 screen.
No need for a battle confirmation screen.
Skill selection screen should be less than 5 seconds.
End the game when the winner is confirmed during the battle.
Don't need 10 seconds after the game ends.

Very nice to see some action but I worry many modders have multiple accounts and they will be back. Again glad to see the removal of the modders

I didn't realize how prolific the modding problem was until I took a look at the leader board. At 1/3 of the top 60 are modders.

If you're looking for excuses to stop pushing, then clearly those who won't stop pushing through regardless of leaderboard positions deserve their rewards more than you.

what does that even mean? i just want to know if i'm in 950 and i should stop and wait until monday or if i'm in 1100 and i should do a few more matches

Completely agree that rank rewards shouldn't be a thing in this mode

Why not though?

Let me ask you something .... would you want to drive your car if your engine management light was on despite the mechanic saying everything is OK and it's just a visual bug 🤔

Scoring needs to reward the champion who did better not faster. In this game, winning by 25 seconds should not overcome someone who finished with 25% more health. I would always sacrifice time over health.

The only thing I care about getting fixed is matchmaking at this point. It never evened out and im being 100% honest when I say I haven't fought a single acc with a roster worse than mine. Its only Paragons or TBs with 15 R3s

My Suggestions,
1: Make reporting easier in BG, i don't want to go through hoops, clicks and screenshots to report someone. Make reporting built in to BG with categories of reporting (example, games like pubg mobile). This will ensure more reports.
2: Make a separate energy category for BG energy .
3. Skip all unnecessary animations and timers

Yup .I keep getting matched with accounts that are ridiculously stronger than mine

Totally agree with many of these. The timer on some screens is too long and unnecessary. They should include a skip button for both players, especially when champs don’t have prefights.

Random musings.. Possibly more champs to ban. Expand from 3 to 5 banned champs... Just a thought

QuikPik

Reduce the amount of time to start a fight. It doesn't take that long to activate your pre-fights.

Dredman89

Any updated info on the amount of bans?

@kabam Jax

While it’s good that y’all are doing something with the cheaters, it’s also beyond frustrating that people who were reported in the very first beta, are still able to continue to play and mod. Not to mention the process of reporting people through the support ticket takes quite a bit of time. If kabam is going to continue to rely on the players to report other players, please make it easier for us to both determine if they’re cheating as well as actually report them. And don’t wait until the end of 2 weeks to ban. That just means many of us end up using energy refills fighting cheaters and then have to win that many more legit matchups to rise in the rankings.

Anyone whose faces cheaters should have 15 energy refunded back to them and the points they lost to the cheaters added back to there score for every time they’ve come up against a cheater. Not there fault cheaters are allowed into the competition and there score affected. It’s not really fair to only take the cheaters off the score board. If I’ve never come up against a cheater but the person 1 place below me in the leader board has faced cheaters 3 times they’re overall placing should be above me as been adversely impacted not only there placing but overall score available due to the cheaters.

Then you have never used MrFantastic on attack... It's barely enough time to squeeze all 3 in.
