The game experienced a brief connectivity issue this morning. The team promptly fixed the issue and things are back to normal, thank you to everyone who passed along reports!
A BG’s post, but not the kind you think it is.

TL;DR People have been throwing matches in BG’s to farm points for far too long, and it really should be stopped.
There is and has been an issue at hand now, at least it’s an issue to me- for quite a while now.
It can go by many names, but in my opinion shouldn’t be allowed- and should be a bannable offense. Win farming in BG’s.
When you win 1 or 2 games, then throw the next few- and only throw using your energy; and try to win when using gladiator marks.
Look, I have nothing against someone throwing or giving away wins- in order to achieve those daily goals we get. What I do have an issue with however, is when people deliberately throw to get easier matches- to then just steam roll for a while for points.
Kabam, I have an alliance mate currently who is valiant with a 23k prestige, and a 5 mill hero rating. I’ve played against this person in friendlies before, I have seen their deck. It is absolutely disgustingly good.
This particular person currently has 365k points in the alliance BG’s event. Which you may say that’s normal sure, but you know what isn’t? Only being in Plat 5. Why is that suspicious you may ask? Because Plat 5 is when you need to win three in a row to rank up, and it’s no longer only two. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why he’s been stuck at Plat 5, for over 5-6 days now. Consistently playing everyday too, because he sends his wins as screenshots to our Line chat. He’s always in Plat 5 still when he sends them.
I know that this season was bugged to begin with, but people who do this; make BG’s an even less enjoyable mode for most. In my opinion this needs to be addressed, as it also messes up the validity of the solo ranked rewards and the alliance ranked rewards as well.

TBH I never had any problem with any point farmers. They are using their energy, time and it is their own choice to be in low tier and farm the points..
Can you ask him what time zone he is in and when he normally plays. We can use that information to get some free wins.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ll take a free win as much as the next person; but I just see this as a major issue- especially with how BG’s match makes people now. It just feels like yet another reason for newer, progressing players, to not even think about playing BG’s. So they miss out on arguably the best avenue in the game, to quickly progress their account.
