Can’t win a single match in battlegrounds.

Skydad23

I never claimed to be great at this game, even though I have cleared most of the content. But I cannot win a single match in battlegrounds and I keep getting matched up against legends every three or four fights it seems. I feel like I have been so penalized for building up my roster to where it is. Really makes me want to quit the game.

Legend pretty much means you have a R4 Herc and a thousand units to burn, speaking as one. Not really an indicator of BGS strength.

It is hilarious how little the Legend title now means. The first few days, I matched about 45% with Legends and nearly all of them had earned it outside of the current SQ incursion.

Since then, I’m still at 45% Legends, but at least half of them are of the “Conduit for Revenge” variety. Sadly, they still are at or above 16K prestige. I assume the “carry me” Legends under 1M rating are all either well ahead of me or picking off tiny accounts on their fast track to GC. Those are the Legends I’d like to see in matchmaking.

Those are the Legends you won’t see at matchmaking, at least up until next season, at best.
Kabam doesn’t seem very interested in a FAIR matchmaking.
At this point their persistence on “even deck” matchmaking (even doesn’t mean fair), rather than BGs performance matchmaking (that is the obvious fair matchmaking), shows that their goal is to avoid the voicy low players outcry, and push veteran players to the overpriced Victory Shields, in order to progress through VT.
It’s been already been two months we have Prestige matchmaking.
If they were about to change it, they could have done it.
It would take only few hours at most, to calibrate matchmaking parameters.
It took few hours to change it from deck to Prestige matchmaking , when they decided to “fix” sandbagging.
They just don’t want to change it this time.

Last season i get vibranium with only 3 loses.
Now i'm on silver 3 and lost 14 matches.

For me everyone is using hack.
Nothing justifies how easily they are beating me and executing matchups with perfect mastery so often.
In none of the previous 5 seasons have I lost more than 5 or 6 matches from bronze to vibranium.

The matches are based on account prestige now?

The matchmaking can be brutal and at times unfair, also the RNG champs you draft can at times screw you and make certain match ups impossible. Only advice I can give you is you have to really understand what is happening node wise in each meta and strategize and pick your champs wisely.

If you understand the current nodes and use the right champs you will do okay and win more. If you just go in swinging you will get served by skilled players with better strategy even with your higher rated champs as each meta determines which champs are better to use. Also keep an eye out on who to ban based on the meta and your past fights that you got wrecked on, while you can’t ban every great champ of a stacked account there are a few bans that will help you out.

They have been that way for a good part of the last 2 seasons. It’s not just now.

i have 6* 5/65, 14 characters 6* 4/55, there is almost any character in the game….but i can't go higher than silver 2…. on the second account where all the characters are 6 * 1/1 or 1/25, I rose to platinum easily. I don’t like that accounts much worse than mine rise easily to the highest level, and I can’t pass this with my main account.

Here we go again........ Group of Summoners whining bout BGs
It's clear if u have a big account u gonna face someone with a similar or higher account. I wonder why u always want to face smaller accounts to reach GC faster like that would be fair at all

Rewards. Don't care about competition or joy of playing BGs. Actually BGs are new arenas. For arenas I'm using suicides to grind them but for BGs not. How ironic.

Same rewards. Of course it should be an even playing field where everyone SHOULD matchmake with everyone.

In my case there were no modders, I faced good players.
It's the first time I started with 2 losses in VT, and I don't mind losing fair and square.

So if you work hard at this game, build up your roster, spend lots of time grinding resources to do so you can’t get the same rewards as somebody that casually wants to play and doesn’t have half the roster that you do, because they get easier matches in BGs? That’s right to you?
