Battleground Matchmaking

in General Discussion
I don't understand the Battlegrounds Matchmaking, in my last 20 games only 2 have had rosters that were as far advanced as mine. The other 18 games have just been people with rosters at least 2 times the size. I see people who have 10+ R2 7* champs when I have maybe 2 or 3 7* champs in my roster to begin with.

How am I meant to climb in BG's and get 5 wins in a row when I get consistently get opponents who's champs are so much stronger I cannot win at all?

    It's called competition. If you're weaker than your opponent, skill wise and roster wise, you cannot expect to climb.
    You mention 5 wins so you're in vibranium. Wait one more week to get to GC

    Why do you deserve to climb over those with rosters twice the size of yours?

    I am not saying I deserve to win over those people. I am saying I should not even be matched with those people in the first place. I should be matched to people with roughly the same quality roster so that our in game skill (and AI behaviour from the defender) matters most.

    Sounds to me like you've reached your plateau, because I believe once you hit platinum or so all strength based matchmaking goes out the window.

    You also need to remember that ALOT of people have given up pusing for GC because solo rewards are still garbage, and NC runestones aren't worth the time and effort it takes to get to GC.

    If they do indeed buff the solo rewards for next season, I'm willing to bet that alot more people push past vibranium and get to GC, therefore you won't see as many stacked accounts in platinum/diamond/Vibranium later into the season.

    Yes you should, because you are competing for the same rewards once you reach platinum.

    Just a suggestion, but try waiting a few days and come back to it. Difficulty fluctuates throughout the season as stronger accounts eventually move up.

    I kept facing Valiant accounts with massively stacked rosters this season, but I took a few days off to focus on Showcase, WoW, and real life stuff. Came back to BG and quickly move up

    Actually, that's exactly what you're saying. If you can't match them then they only match big accounts, meaning you move up when better players move down.

    Because competition for the same reward is never fair and never will be in any field, that's why participation consolation refreshments exists, so everyone goes home happy, in MCOC's case 48hour objectives are refreshments. 🤣

    Perhaps Kabam should nerf the rewards for lower progression players, so those players feel good after facing only "fair" fights.

    I'm part of the problem. I'm only starting to get into bronze right now with a high level account. They had me facing accounts that were a tier up when they couldn't find someone who was close to my PI and it's taking me about a minute to find a fight so it's not like they aren't trying to make matches fair.

    And sometimes, even if you play perfect, that is not good enough…because others can play perfect faster than you 👻

    How are you supposed to keep climbing up? Simple, you beat them or you wait for them to climb up first because why would a weaker account deserve to climb up before them? It's not rocket science.
