Hi Kabam,
Please review this suggestion for Battleground to have everyone can enjoy this game mode. To be honest, this game mode should be very fun and excited for summoners to play, not creating the frustration like the current situation.
First, the BG victory track should be divide by the Title for matching to have more equal fight. So far this is the best way to put players in the same class because the deck strength doesn’t work when many people abuse the sandbagging by put 1,2 star on the deck. Beside, to make sure people with highest Title like Valiant have their advantage , the VC reward also need to be different base on the Title as well, with the Valiant have the best valuable reward on Victory track. This can prevent many case like a Paragon match with Valiant.
Secondly, the nodes rotation currently is good but should focus on skills more than to target any specific champs.
Finally, the rewards in both VC and GC should be updated more frequently.

As long as they reduce and balance
Total tokens,
Relic shards,
And solo points for W/L a match with EMs,
According to different progressions too.
As long as the items remains same for all progressions, the competition will remain the same..
Why would a player want to progress in the game if they can get the same resources/items while staying uncollected?
It's for competitive 1 vs 1 .
That's not fun for everyone.
Everyone is fighting for same reward someone is spending money to get extra ,some grind Arena .
And, since the highest tier is already at the tuning level Kabam is comfortable with, that means moving everybody else down. And if the people asking for this realized this, I’m sure they’d stop asking for it.
Basically Kabam just can't win no matter what, they are gonna get matchmaking complaints. But I am pretty sure the current system is way way better than every other solution these players put forward, but the playerbase seem not to get it, lol
Like, Bg matchmaking complaints will never end, smh
Think
Unless you're trying to use this trick to enter Gladiator circuit 😳 then you're onto something.
Why not just make GC rewards progression based as well? Seperate GC servers for each progressio cycle and Celestial 1 uncollected guy probably gets a 6* crystal or something as reward. LETS MAKE BG FAIR!!
One thing I find some perverse joy in is that if a player stubbornly refuses to accept the facts about BG and decides to act on their own wrong intuition or what their buddies, who are probably just as uninformed as they are but speak as if they are experts, tell them, it only hurts them and helps everyone else. Accept the truth, or pay the price. I wish the whole world worked that way.
2. Part of the point to the nodes is to shake up the overall roster meta, so players can’t just focus on a few champs forever. Every season benefits different champs, deliberately, to encourage players to rank up a more diverse roster. If it was not obvious from the fact the game sells random gatcha mechanics champion crystals, ties progression to rarity specific rank ups, and constantly releases new champions and monetizes early access to them, this game has a very strong focus on building and growing roster. So the nodes have a varying balance between features that require skillful play and those that benefit certain subsets of the player’s roster. And most node combinations have at least some of both features.
3. Over 200,000 players currently participate in BG every season. Over 45,000 players maxed out the solo milestone last season, and probably around 15,000 players reached th Gladiator Circuit, which is about 5% of all players who participated at all. Nobody will say no to more rewards, but these are not numbers that suggest the rewards for BG are insufficient. They seem to be enough to cause a lot of players to dedicate a lot of time to get them, and flooding the game with more rewards than necessary to incentivize players to play tends to be bad for the game in the long run, as it causes game inflation and makes things less valuable over time and forces the game to accelerate introducing new chase items - new ranks, new rarities, new progression titles. Which benefit the players at the top, but push downward everyone else.
4. Perhaps it is worth considering if your issues with BG stem from a lack of humility over what a player such as yourself deserves to get from a competition. Judging your own suggestions to be “the best suggestion” for Battlegrounds implies a significant lack of situational awareness, or an evanescent subtlety of self deprecation that exceeds what the forums are capable of recognizing.
I get the frustration that a lower account would have if they faced bigger accounts and couldn't win a match. Doesn't make for a fun experience. The underlying issue here is expectations. It's a competitive mode where it pushes summoners to expand their rosters and skills. Move up up the ladder, earn better rewards. If you want to play for funsies, then play team up with a buddy and play friedlies. Everyone has that option.
Honestly, I keep going back to Jax's post about BG's. It's not designed for everyone. We'll continue seeing these posts and the community will keep on firing back. It's not all sunshine, rainbows, and unicorns for "bigger" accounts. BG can be a slog and it was a hot topic when cav accounts were making it to GC while big accounts were duking it out with each other.
You would only be able to join one each season. Have a cap on the deck size, maybe at 540k (which an average hero rating of 18k). It would be suited for Cav/Paragons and below. Rewards would be tuned to players at those levels. Keep the current iteration of BG's as the 540k and up.
Could you stack a deck to feast on lower tiered players? You could, but then you lose access to the higher-tier BG. Let matchmaking be a free for all and call it a day.
