So about battlegrounds ….

I found it surprisingly easy this season . I made it to Plat 1 without using a single victory shield and without much difficulty . Did I just get lucky or is it easier for everybody ? Or could it be because I recently became a paragon and this gives me raise marches ?

I think you just got lucky. The matches through VT are based on your roster. Maybe you had the camps to deal with the node or got lucky and went up against sub-par opponents.

If you waited, you missed all the higher end players who rush up the ranks and faced a bunch of frustrated people who haven't been able to climb efficiently.

Congrats either way!

I can assure you this isn't the case, I've faced legends and whales on my alt and had a run of 9 absolute uncollected potatoes on my main with 5*s. It's just random.

It got easier.. nerfed to the ground..
There are conquerors in Diamond...

This is once you get into P2. I felt bad for the smaller accounts that get matched there

GroundedWisdom

Partly because people are tanking for EM Points. Also, I noticed people like to troll with Titles. They'll put on a lower Title but be much more advanced. So there's that.

Coppin

Big dif between a title and a deck full of 4*

GroundedWisdom

Oh, 100%. I'm not a fan of the tanking/bye fest. That's likely what's the cause of it. I can't wait until seeding next Season.

I usaly got only to gold 2 +/-
Now i am a couple of Fights from uru3

Thats amazing!

Does anyone know when BG VT Progression will be locked for BG "seeding"?
At the end of this season or next season?

I didnt watched the Stream

GroundedWisdom

Next Season. How that will look is still up in the air, but we will be able to get the previous Rewards as well.

I reached diamond 2, because this is leagues better than the masochist nodes and immensely easier to handle. I'm not happy tho, now. Before it used to be rosters that had champs rated till 18k, and I did not mind that at all....now it's just legends and 7 star r2s

ahmynuts

I always keep my legends title on and my top champ profile pic on for the intimidation factor lol. Whether or not it works is up in the air but i have had alot of people quit out immediately weirdly enough

GroundedWisdom

I don't fall for that until I see the Roster. Lmao.
To be fair, I only Forfeit when I have 0 Wins in a Tier and I know I'm likely beaten. Until I get a streak going, I don't have the patience. No Forfeits now. I'm one away from the GC. Would have been there by now but I forgot to activate a Shield and....welp.

ahmynuts

I think that's exactly what is going on too but there has been a few that have had more than 3 medals forfeiting and im now wondering if they were people tanking or genuinely going "Nope not today"

GroundedWisdom

Oh, they're definitely tanking. I've had a few Forfeit on me with stacked Rosters.

ChiliDog

Don't you get 0 points towards solo and alliance for forfeiting?

WinterFields

Yes, you get 0 for forfeiting. However, matchmaking is often more favorable in certain tiers (Plat 2 for instance), and since this season has the extra rewards, a lot of people purposely tank fights with energy to stay in easier brackets to better ensure a win with elder's marks

ChiliDog

Thanks for reply. But why not still stay in the match for at least a few points versus forfeiting for zero...

Well, I should thank everyone. I made GC for the first time ever. I'm usually stuck in sweaty silver and gold due to not having tier based matchmaking until p2...and not getting that far. I got my solo points, so will now just play my 3 matches every other day.
