- All the seeded players play each other and all the unseeded play each other.
- The best seeded player ends up playing the best unseeded player and decimates them in the finals (GC).
- But that unseeded player that made it to the finals gets better prizes than any of the other seeded players that they never had to play and may be significantly worse than.
You don't understand the best players not liking that worse players are ranking higher than them in a competition? Honestly?
And your last line is just boring. It'd been disproven so many times it's not even worth discussing.
And for the record, I went something like 18-2 in my final run to get out of the VT so I have no problem beating other Paragons. It's just a slog and a waste of time.
Back to my original point, you don't get to the GC by default. Unless every single Match you had was a connection error default, they're doing something right.
I mean, it's one thing to feel good about achieving some sort of status in the game. It's another to see yourself as better than everyone else. Intrinsically better.
Anyone who is at the Paragon level should have a Roster developed enough to deal with that disparity. That's my point. People are pushing to fast track to the Titles, and some don't even have enough counters Ranked. That's my point about content-rushing.
And for the record, I went something like 18-2 in my final run to get out of the VT so I have no problem beating other Paragons. It's just a slog and a waste of time. But again you are missing the point. If everyone at paragon level has a well developed roster, then someone has to win and someone has to lose. Ultimately even if you are as good as the whole pool of paragons, you are still only having a 50% success rate. It makes it really very time consuming to be slogging through the VT when someone with a 30% roster as yours can easily breeze through VT without facing any other paragon player.
If rewards were in isolation then you are right, they don’t impact anyone else.
But you get 15000 trophy tokens in addition to some other insignificant stuff just for making it to GC. This is on top of all the other trophy tokens and elder marks you get for moving up in VT. By being stuck in the VT, higher accounts are deprived of these rewards.
Elder marks are also needed to get good points in the solo and alliance event which can get you a lot of goodies which the higher accounts again don’t get because they are not advancing in ranks in VT. Only other way to get elder marks is to spend victory tokens or money.
People are not opposed to lower accounts getting rewards. They are just opposed to the way the VT is organized which allows lower accounts to completely bypass facing bigger accounts on their way up while bigger accounts are fighting each other in lower ranks with a roughly 50% win rate.
Before anyone talks about skill issue, I have a 3mil account and am paragon and I have reached GC a week ago. So no..it’s not a skill issue.
That’s what you seem to stubbornly ignore.
I was at Gladiator Circuit since week 1 three last seasons and this season with this, numerous times despised by the community, Prestige matchmaking, I’m still at Gold1 on my main.
On the other side my small alt Cavalier 600k account, had great time beating similar prestige/rating small, mainly noob accounts, on it’s cruise to GC, where sits comfortably since first week, waiting for ranked rewards.
Same person, same skills, different accounts.
If that’s not a prof of how broken Prestige matchmaking is, then I don’t know what is.
I can bet many people with alt accounts, have also noticed that their smaller alt accounts progress faster at VT, than their bigger main.
Account progression should matter as advantage, not as disadvantage, on a progress based game.
The company is monetising progress, and at the moment BGs punish you for that.
It is the exact same situation as AW prestige matchmaking mess.
Kabam should address this too, as soon as possible.
People can’t wait for more seasons, losing VT tier and mostly ranked rewards, while watching accounts that still haven’t complete Act6, getting them.
You can talk about making progress in as many areas of the game as you like, but that has nothing to do with BGs. You're either winning your Fights, or you aren't. You can't blame the other people and their Matches for that because their Matches literally have nothing to do with yours. They're not stealing Rewards from you. You earn them by winning your Matches. I don't know why that's a difficult thing to accept, but it's quite plain.
Saying you can beat this and that doesn't make a statement to what you are entitled to in another game mode. You advance based on your own results.
That's called a competition. What you're saying is you've earned the right to propel yourself by matching with Accounts earlier on in the game, and that's about as entitled as it comes.
Someone can have a Paragon Account, and all the Champs they want, but if they're not able to use it in a Best of 3 competition with a Global Node, that's a skill issue.
I've honestly exhausted all other ways to say it, so that's the clearest I can be. If you're truly skilled, take on people in your own division.
Why then Kabam doesn’t offer a 4* or 5* or 6* generic deck available to all players only at BGs, so skills only matter?
Why Kabam still allows two players, with way different strength rosters, to get matched at Gladiator Circuit?
Should we extend Prestige matchmaking there too, since you insist on its fairness and that reward skills?
Anyone should be able to match anyone, in a shared pool of rewards. That’s the fair.
Like I said earlier, it really seems like they only though that 10,000 or so Summoners would even make it to the GC.
