Synergies made active in BG’s

Is there a time frame on when champ synergies will become active in BG’s?
I see no reason why synergies in your chosen deck can’t be made active for attack phase like they are in other game variants like AW, AQ and incursions.
This would allow greater variety in deck selection and avoid the need to focus on one trick pony champs for BG purposes.

or 7 champ team synergies ?
or just 2 champ fight (defender / attacker pair) synergies ?
And if so (attackers with defenders), then should your AW Defenders (in addition to synergies among themselves) also be included when calculating synergies for your Attackers ?
Or, if just limited to the 3 champs who will be attackers, that is not known until each succeeding fight when you actually choose the attacker for that fight. (and potentially only 2 champs/fights).
Now imagine having to mentally think about what the synergies will be of your opponent, and how it will affect your fighting or your picking of your own team, in just the limited # of seconds you are afforded before having to make selections.
Using your example it would make APOC a more viable attacker in BG’s
If your opponent was worried you’d use the AG venom synergy all they would need to do is ban one of the members of the synergy
In most instances we’re probably talking about minor synergy benefits like extra health or attack or extra critical. The chances of agent venom’s synergy making into your deck of 7 would be extremely low (especially when your opponent could easily ban say 1 member of that synergy if they were worried about it)
Also You wouldn’t be able to make any mutant a horseman because your Apoc would 1) need to be in the deck of 7 and 2) start a round with either cable/Mr Sinister/Kang on your team to allow APOC to have four charges for his fight. So APOC’S pre-fight would never work
But what is wrong if you have in your deck of 7 for example Scorpion and Venom? Yes scorpion gets the medium fury synergy but so what. Your opponent gets the same opportunity to select the same.
This is the hill I will die on!
This would also allow wider usage of more champs in BGs. At this point it is just the same 15 attackers and 15 defenders (if kabam doesn't decide to bring back metas like chitinous thorns).
But I think it's necessary. Balancing would be really challenging if synergies were allowed, if realistically possible at all.
For example. OG Abom on his own is unless. No one would want to put that champ into their deck. But if the Red Guardian synergy was allowed (as it is in every other mode of game play) then boring unless OG Abom becomes significantly more useful in attack due to his chance to apply a lot of poison debuffs.
Another example. Take Beardo. That champ is effectively nerfed in BG’s and I mean he’s nerfed because Beardo’s signature doesn’t apply at all. There is no reason if you have Beardo in your deck of 7 that his signature should also apply based on the classes of other champs in your deck.
(And sure Apoc gets his 4 charges from the get go)
Anyways, to answer your question, there is no time frame and there never will be, synergies would ruin BGs.
If you're annoyed that you can't use IW Cap well too bad, he's not even top 10 science anymore so I don't know why you would even use him in BGs.
