Server-Side Lag is Haunting BGs

Spinning white circles
Auto-picked defenders
Different defenders picked even after you picked yours several seconds earlier
Timers freezing
Screens going blank

This game mode is nearly unplayable right now.

Is this being looked at by the game team?

Echoing this - I played two matches.
First match had normal draft, autopicked first round, and the remainder of BG was fine.
Second match hung up on match start loading screen so it resulted in autopicked draft, normal first round, autopicked second round, and finally the third round it froze at the round loading screen so that I only had 47 seconds left to play.

That second match I would have won that third round had I had the full amount of time, as my opponent got KO'd without taking much health off my defender.

This is costing me progress and energy.

Literally just experienced this and came here. This is why I'm not gonna do anything else other than do 3 matches with my energy and that's gonna be it.

So fustrating an annoying. Cant even get through a single match. Because of all the same reason. Not to mention the lag an failed everything during the fight. Timing feels way way off.

Just ridiculous anymore. Start of new month an lost all interest to do any of the events.

Yeah same. Opponent picked weapon x as defender. Game lagged, when it eventually caught up game had picked nimrod as my defender.
Cost me the match. Fun game.

This will never be acknowledged or fixed. They monetized this in a way that makes this happening to us a feature and not a bug. They want you to lose so you buy victory shields and more elders marks or energy pots. This entire game mode being time driven and not event driven shows kabam is incapable of doing the right thing for its players. The fact there isn’t even a mechanism in place to reimburse players correctly after these numerous bugs appear just furthers the thought that kabam likes that this happens. Short term profits are the goal here, and any semblance of what kabam may have once wanted out of this game is long gone.
