Battlegrounds has a Huge problem. Some players are PAUSING the game while playing battlegrounds I'm over here fighting and wondering why I kept on losing til I saw it most of these players are running the clock and that's how they win. Kabam you guys have to fix this somehow maybe take the time away that way people can't cheat.
To bring a bit of balance back, at least from my posts in this thread, the match making seems to be better and not getting matched with paragon players with 10+ rank 4’s. That could be because they’re all in gladiators circuit now and no longer being matched with that level of roster.
Honestly the game mode itself so much fun. Loving how its making me think more and strategise. Did 4 fights today, ignored all the issues around rewards and it was great fun.
If the rewards structure and pricing is fixed (absolutely monetise it, but not like this) they have a winner.
I have 8 6* r4 and am very close to a ninth and I won’t waste time on the broken mode.. maybe people with 10 realize it’s a complete waste of time and money at $4 a fight. I won’t bother. As a matter of fact the gameplay and addition of such a disgusting display of greed and lack of respect KABAM shows towards its customers by the introduction of this mode has drained my willingness to play or spend… I myself only play the game for a few fights a week outside of annoying alliance modes, and have all but given up hope on them ever caring enough to try and fix anything that’s broken when they can just add more broken content and collect more money then ever…. Too many people spending too beat broken content. I’d almost bet they make more money the worse the game plays
It’s broken after a certain point. You don’t need to pay during the Victory track you don’t need to spend to get the pittance worth of Elders Mark that allows for some 6* shards. I’m only playing for the 6* Sig Stone in the store and it’s genuinely fun. I’m currently on Platinum 1 have purchased 20 sigs so far, have 8,200 trophy tokens in the bank to buy more when they refresh. I’ve not spend a penny on the mode and not going to.
Those who are going to spend to get the big rewards are going to spend and get them regardless of whether anyone ignores trying to get the free stuff, so for my I might as well try and get some Sig stones. I have a 6* Omega Red I want to take to Rank 4 but at Sig 20 I need those sig stone baby!
Also, I’ve don’t my ranty “the mode is only about money, Kabam have failed the player base” much earlier in this thread. I think it’s right to give some positive balance after some reflection about the game mode itself. If the actual playing battlegrounds wasn’t fun and that feedback wasn’t given what’s the point in Kabam changing anything at all.
Now it’s also reasonable to say that the mode has been implemented so poorly you’re turning you back on the mode. I think a lot of people (not saying you), say they are never going to play a certain part of the game or pay for a deal, but do it anyway. Battlegrounds isn’t going anywhere so let’s move onto the positive what can we do improve it as I think we’ve all stated the issues of what’s wrong with it. Unless there’s new stuff that happened.
Kabam apparently had a focus group of some kind about the mode unless I’m mistaken. Would love to hear what the plans are going forward. I think it was on an @RichTheMan video that we should have heard something at the begging of the week. So @Kabam Jax@Kabam Miike whats the latest? We all just want this mode to succeed.
Copying this over from a post in News and Announcements:
Hey Summoners,
Thank you for your patience with the implementation of Battlegrounds.
We have been keeping many watchful eyes on the reception of the newest game mode. Conversations have been continuing behind the scenes about what changes need to be made. Currently, we're running ideas by a select group of players to see what the reception is like.
We don't have any details at this exact moment, but we will have more information early next week.
Stay tuned for more.

Early next week has come and gone. Early next next week?
Kabam should sent energy refills and some elder's marks for the ones we lost to modders they can't handle with. It is nice they try to remove them from rank rewards at the end but with all the items we lose once we face them?
Currently in Gladiator IV and every match is a mod at this point. Does the report user button actually work? I'm using elders marks for these fights and it seems like a waste when every other match is a guaranteed loss.
Is it possible for the team to monitor this more aggressively?
Поле битвы хороший режим, но бесит то что тонну читеров попадается в игре. Как с ними бороться? Даже жалобу на них подать нельзя. Я из за них не могу подняться в классе. И их тысячи!!!!! А ещё не очень нравится подбор противников, при котором у меня максимум 3.45 персонвжи, А против меня ставят чувака у которого все минимум 15 4.55 6* персонажей. Естественно он меня убьёт быстрее, как играть то тогда?
@Kabam Jax@Kabam Miike early next week was over a week ago. Don’t keep us in suspense. Just as an aside, I think some of the comms recently has been really good but it’s an own goal when you set a timeframe to provide communication back by and don’t stick to it. I’m guessing you’re still gathering information and feedback etc, and if that’s the case maybe share with us a new timeline. Its not like we set the time period, and the radio silence make it seem like it’s not something you really care about anymore.
On a positive note, battle grounds itself really good. Just looking forward to how it’s going to be changed to make it the awesome flagship game mode it should be.
Do someone know if there are any matchmaking after someone hit the Gladiators' Circuit? Once I reached it I get matched with unwinnable matches, quite literally. So I just think, or it seems, there is no proper matchmaking and the system only counts your points. Like a cavalier with only 6r1s can be matched with a paragon with 10 6r4s if both have 0 points in GC?!
Also, if i don't spend my marks and or tokens this season will they be carried over to the next season? I mean I have almost 400 marks from reaching GC but there is absolutely no point playing it since I get matched with unbeatable opponents like in the example mentioned above.
Just started doing Battle Grounds, been doing the friends matches and that has been lots of fun for bragging rights within the alliance.
To level the playing field we've been doing matches with 2*s only or 3*s only and it's been even more fun because we all have lots of those fighters who were ranked up a long time ago and now there is a reason to use them again.
@Kabam Miike is there a way you guys can set up Battle Grounds like this? Something with roster restrictions....this way we could really see who's got the skills and not just the whale roster? I'd be willing to put my 2* or 3* roster up against anyone's 2* or 3* roster......and if you could set something up like this, then it brings back some relevancy to our forgotten 2*s, 3*s, 4*s and soon to be forgotten 5*s.
Hopefully you guys are already trying to put something like this in play. If you are, please don't adjust the payouts for winning with lower 2* teams......those of us who've been playing since year 1 who've maxed out all to most of our 2*s and 3*s should be able to use those old guys to win rewards that are the same as the current rewards given to these guys with all these r4 6*s. If we can't win the same rewards or better, then what other incentive is there that would make us want to use the useless parts of our rosters? At the same time what better way to incentivise old and new players to find value in our 2*-4* rosters?
This is a great way to level out the playing field, and showcase player skills and not the depth of their wallets.......just some food for thought!
Is there any shred of a plan in place to deal with modders? The top SEVEN SPOTS in Bgs are all modders…..
Yet nothing is done? You expect us to buy elders marks and you don’t do anything about the rampant cheating in the game mode.
This has been a problem in every Beta and continues into the live launch, with no comments from anyone at Kabam. They said they took action in the last Beta but many obvious cheaters in the top 100 were never banned. When that was pointed out the comments/threads were deleted.
At this point I think it’s safe to say they are having trouble identifying cheaters and it’s going to continue to be a problem that we’re just going to have to deal with. It’s a shame because it’s such a great game mode.
Is there a thread for reporting battlegrounds bugs? I couldn’t find one. If anyone knows a better place to report a repeat of a known bug, please let me know.

It’s a bug that has been around since the start of battlegrounds. Champions get frozen in place at the start of the fight.
So official to say ...it u above Mysterium II Tier every second fight is against Moders ..pls kabam i will do for free without any peni...just checking Rank up in tiers if man has under 2 mil acc and he is in Celestial brackets 100% are moders should i pot here where ppl do fight in 6 sec or ? Why do ignore that just ban them or we should think that they works for You to drain our recourses???
I find it painfully hilarious that they expect 8500+ people to make the gladiator circuit and be rewarded with a few hundred reward tokens. The number of hours and total matches played that's required to win the 71 battlegrounds matches would be asanine.
Gotta either reduce the number of tiers to go through on the victory track, or do something to make gladiators circuit more accessible.
Ruining the most fun game mode making the rewards as inaccessible as humanly possible. Typical Kabam
maybe we get an update this week, or are you hoping we just forget about it and move on?
will there be changes made to matching? will there be changes made to the pay to play format? will there be changes made to give you something back for the energy investment
@Kabam Jax you promised us something early next week 3 weeks ago, even if you just say, no, the current state of BG's will be as is for the foreseeable future, then i know its not for me, but please man, dont give us hope
How is it gonna work? If someone completed the victory track does he have to do this again next season? Also - is there goin to be any update to battlegrounds shop? I completed victory track, got over 21k battleground tokens and do not know if I should but 6* shards after todays reset or wait to see if there is more value in maybe updated BG shop.
Once this BG season is over , the team really needs to implement some major updates for next season else this whole game mode will just be a waste of time and energy.
1 - Reduce Energy Cost to half ...make it 7 energy per match. 2 - Elder Mark's are given in very less quantity and if this continues , usage of Elder Mark's should also be reduced to half . Using 15 of them is too much especially during random drafts if the champs you need do not get drafted 3 - Implement a new form of energy for BG , like we have for AQ and AW so it doesn't clashes with other content.
This last week has been ATROCIUS to say the least: - Celestial Leagues (I-II-III-IV-V and VI) are FILLED with modders. - Elder's Mark gone to waste playing against those modders. - Global node NOT working (making it a LC/DE fiesta).
You guys at Kabam really need to do something, either through compensations or finally dealing with OBVIOUS MODDERS (You don't even need a tracker to ban those playing with 4* or being LVL 55 at the top of the leaderboards).
I was over 350 at the top of Cele V, dropped down to 260 due to being matched over and over again against modders.

Is Kabam not going to take any action during the season? Wasting elders marks and running into modders smh
@""Kabam Miike"
You guys simply cannot wait until the end of season to address these people.
Sorry for my english im french
I win the first fight
In the end of the 2nd the screen became black AND I LOST
Without play the 3rd match
It is nice they try to remove them from rank rewards at the end but with all the items we lose once we face them?

It requires 4 medals to reach Diamond 1 rank. In the announcement, it says 3x

We just put up a post detailing updates to Battlegrounds, including changes to the rewards structure!
