BG matchmaking is a mockery

As the title states, BG matchmaking is an outright mockery. I have dozens upon dozens of matches picked for me where I stand zero chance of winning: my opponent has a roster full of 18-25k pi champions, while I still have mostly r2 six stars and a lot of 5 stars on mine with around 10-14k pi. Most of my opponents hold Legend titles, and their rosters are half 7*

To add to the issue, BG is the only mode of gameplay that still holds some entertainment and progression value in this game. As a returning player, I fell completely locked out of: a) the only entertaining game mode with high replayability; b) of rewards, as I simply can not win 3 fights in 2 days despite finding 15-20 matches every single day - I don’t stand a chance.

This leads to me being unable to rank up my champs to r4 and finally get Paragon, despite having done act 7 completion mostly with my old 2020 roster quite easily. Which in its way blocks me out of even more rewards. I initially thought “hey, it seems like fun, maybe I should drop some cash on mcoc again and see where it takes me”, but now I don’t see a point in doing anything when I’m being fully roadblocked in my progression.

So all together - BG matchmaking in its current state is completely non-functional. I’m stuck in diamond 2-3 and can’t even do my dailies to slowly grind for catalysts. Arena is cancer, AQ and AW have poor rewards, story content takes too much time, and getting any meaningful rewards from EQ takes countless hours. Will this ever be fixed? Prolly no. Or maybe it will, but by that time I’ll be done and gone.

    So in short, you hit your ceiling for where you're at in the game and are mad about it?

    yeah, cuz there are too few options to progress. And unfortunately I came back after the July 4th deals, so I can’t event buy myself extra catalysts I’d need for quick progress

    Why do you deserve to win when there are players that much bigger than you in the same tier?

    The Matches will get harder as you go up. Diamond is a reasonable Tier to see this in.

    Why do I not deserve to get matched against players of equal power rating to mine (who are evidently there) for the purpose of completing daily tasks?

    Because it's a competition?

    Do act 8. Most people who got paragon had to complete act 8 to get rank up resources. As you climb higher on battle ground the more harder it’s gonna get. It’s just how the competitive nature of the mode is. You could even explore act 7 or 8.1 and 8.2 to get those resources. Other then that just wait till this season ends if you feel you hit a wall.

    With act 8.1 and 8.2 alone you could get two r4 champs. It just sounds like you want a easy way to get the things you want.

    Lol, kt was right, even the names of forum warriors match up. Yeah, there is nothing wrong with the game - it’s the greedy ungrateful players who are wrong. The responses here have cracked me up, byes

    I’ll try, thanks.

    I like how a Cav who hasn't done much, and doesn't understand what a competition is, quotes one of the strongest players in the game to defend his arguments.
