How to win at BGs - secret tips

Here are some tips and tricks that are seldom mentioned:
1. Use 'trap' defenders if ur roster is low ranked. For instance, if your opponent hasn't got a solid counter to your electro, it doesn't really matter if he is rank 3 or rank 5, they are not going to have a good time.
2. Take breaks and don't be afraid to change up your deck if it's not working for you. I was losing matches with void as he is a bit slow. So I benched him even though he is decay and brought in another defender into my deck.
3. Watch youtubers streams. Beroman, KT1, Andrewtheruff etc. They are all solid players and you can copy their strategies, rank up the same attackers/defenders that you see do particularly well for them and learn interactions or niche counters you may not have thought of,
4. Adapt your mastery setup to each meta. Again, you can copy those used by high end youtubers.
5. Practise fighting. If you think your skill could be better then always try to improve it. I got highly skilled by doing labyrinth and act 6. Sadly kabam nerfed act 6 into the ground and labyrinth is no longer a challenge since the game has progressed a long way from rank 4 5 stars. Perhaps doing abyss runs, gauntlet and eop fights and practising with different champions will help you master their playstyle.
6. Secret tip that no one mentions: At the start of the meta go in and play 10-20 matches with energy. Use attackers that you think might be able to do certain defenders and place champs on defence you don't usually place and see how they do. Then make a mental note of how it goes without any pressure of winning. Then you can get started building your deck for real with all this in mind and play with elders marks.
I haven't been able to play too much this season but it works well for me:

Tip 11: Get lucky with the draft
Will easily save you 50 matches in progression.
Should be a paid feature.
For instance, Ibom is a easy kill with any poison immune,but without one , it is a sure win for you.
Most of the time this happens to me, opponent drafts a hulkling or nimrod, I place a defender who is only beatable by hulkling (like fantman), lure them to use their only poison immune champ and cheese.
Once I got a matchup 1 win 1 lose, I had fantman galan and gorr in my team, opponent had wiccan nf and mangog. I placed fantman in defense and opponent placed wiccan, I never knew wiccan can inflict neutralise when parried, got f**ked up my galan and died.
What I also do is look through the opponents deck when selecting bans to make a mental note of their best attackers/defenders so I draft with them in mind.
P.S I don't have many of the best champions for this meta (no photon or spider ham or silk or chavez etc) but using these tactics allows me to have an extremely high win rate. I just did 6 more matches now:
In close games, who goes second can pretty much decide the outcome of the match-up. If you can draft smartly, you'll almost always win the 3rd round even if you lose one of the first 2.
Picking second is a slight advantage but equally that can be more than nullified by drafting strategy and all the factors I listed above. Also take careful mental notes on the best champions of your opponent so you can plan accordingly when drafting. E.g if my opponent has a bunch of strong mystics I will try to draft my top science champs and pick no cosmics. Or if he has a R5 zemo, attuma and korg then I will be trying to draft and even re-rolling for my kitty pryde or bishop.
Give it a try
Always, but always ban Torch by any means, even if he is a 5* at the lower end of your opponent’s deck.
If you don’t, your opponent will 100% draft him and will 100% win a round.
Immediately mute emotes as soon as possible.
