BGs and prestige

I really feel screwed over now that our BGs opponents are determined by our prestige. I ranked for AQ and therefore prestige (eg thor Rags, Surfer and Valkyrie) since we focus on AQ. I dont do well in AQ, but I manage (5-15 items per day). I like AQ since it doesn’t matter if I die. Lilewise I play Gold II in AW, since I die often.
But now I will be getting a disadvantage in BGs. Meeting people way above my skill level (and most likely with better top ranked champs). With modifyers coming to AQ map 8 I will probably have to leave my ally, since I cannot manage, and in BGs I am also screwed over because of my prestige. And all I did was play in accordance with in game messages send by Kabam. Kabam didn’t write I could not sandbag. I have been doing it in arena for many years. And up until now I knew nothing about high prestige being a disavamtage anywhere in the game for me.
There is no way I can lower my prestige, so my only hope is that the added prestige for relics also counts towards it in BGs, and then dont use relics at all or level high prestige champs in the future. Then in some years my prestige might fit my skill level. I have probably lost my interest for MCOC at that time under theee circumstances.
It just seems plain wrong IMO.

Because, let's face it, the majority of players have the same, or close, high prestige champs r4 first.
Another thing to keep in mind, a lot of people with high prestige paid to get there, they’re not all the best players in the game.
I know a clear message in the forums has been if we are all going for the same rewards then we should all have a chance to match regardless of deck strength. If prestige is a factor then people will strong rosters and low prestige will clean up easily but not matching higher prestige roster. 🧐
You’re right, there is a change coming. A good change that will potentially prevent sandbagging. Hopefully it isn’t going by account prestige but we will see.
For BG's it makes zero sense, we have 30 spots, so lets take my 5 best champs and compare that to the next guy's 5 best champs, but guess what, we have a deck of 30, so player A is a paragon with 15 R4 6*'s's and and I'm Paragon with 5 R4 6*'s, our prestige is basically equal, but player A has 10 more top rank champs.
Now to double the pain, player A bans B's top 3 now the odds are even more skewed.
Sandbagging is not fair and i see it as cheating (even if it is only cheating the system), but matching with prestige is also not fair.
But on same time, it's player choice and game can change at any time . So these things become irrelevant when that happens
If this is how matchmaking is always going to be, I'm going to stop playing.
@Kabam Miike is there any other solo content for late game players coming that can replace battlegrounds? I've no desire to play this, if fighting people with 10 to 15+ r4s in silver and gold (presumably bronze too next season) is the future.
