Kabam Jax answer to a "coward" thread with pause techniques to win on Battlegrounds



The 1st post


And the guy even teach another technique 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

What can be done about this ,is some new system that detects the Attacker is not really fighting for more than 5 or 10 seconds, so its an instant win for the Rival.

With this solution, pause button or put the game in background will be punished the same way.

Hope someone move this solution to the game team @Kabam_Crashed

Thanks,
All summoners that dont cheat on BG

    If you can't score more than 15k to 25k
    Then you deserve to lose.

    Plain and simple truth.

    Lol what?

    Not my case, THE PARAGON.

    But in which world everyone lives that they agree with this unfair thing?

    In every game, you actually need to win to deserve it.

    Not by pause the entire match..

    Unsportsmanlike and frowned upon. Not cheating, not bannable. Just cheap. You're reading things that aren't there. There have also been comms since where Kabam has stated that pausing during a match is not considered cheating.
    We were here when they talked about removing the pause button. What did they not do?



    Read again.
    I think you can do this....

    It was an unbearable situation even for Kabam.

    The new thing Im doing is a solution on the 1st post.

    For people that need to scratch the nose or something else, or read an info, so, instead of 10 seconds detection, maybe 20 seconds....

    And after that, would be an instant win for the rival.
    I know you consider me to be a forums expert (I'm flattered, really), but you've gotta work out whatever issue you have with me, stop ignoring what I'm saying to try and prove your point, and stop assuming that I'm ignoring what you're saying.
    If you can point to where I said they never had any such discussion about the pause button, please do and I will be happy to correct myself.
    If you had read what I wrote, you would see that I acknowledged the conversation because I was there for it. I was also on the side of them addressing it because it is a cheap and pathetic way for anyone to "play" the game. I've been very consistent on that issue since the very post you shared screenshots of.
    Kabam has also been consistent on the issue in saying that it isn't cheating, but that it is not within the spirit of the contest. You can scour the forums, you won't find them saying it's cheating.
    They had the conversation nearly 2 years ago and here we are now with the pause button still active. Obviously they considered players pausing to be a less significant issue than what would've arisen had they removed it. The case has been closed for a long time.

    Maybe they look at your deck, and decide to troll the match..

    For the last time I will answer you.

    Not with me.

    But this thing need to be stopped

    They're not removing the pause button. This falls under the "bad taste" category, as in unsportsmanlike, but it's not a cheat. Certainly not a significant enough issue to be that drastic. I do agree with you on one front. It's not fair. People get rewarded for not fighting. However, this is a fringe issue because most people are playing to win, and if you can't get at least 35k, 40k, and up, you're going to have a hard time further up the ranks.

    Not with me this matter, but one troll on this thread still say this ,i dont know for what reason...

    Im doing this for other people with this unfair thing on our game. After another thread posted this sunday.

    I was always against this.

    Just makes no sense the pause button on BG. The other thing is the Sp.3 you cant skip (as on Incursions), this is awful ,as the time is running and you get less points...lol

    And just searched for this statement I remembered 👍

    Okay,
    I paused for a minute, came back, and beat your defender in 20 seconds with a Nuke attacker—totaling 80 seconds.
    On the other hand, you couldn’t beat my defender in time or ended up losing to them.

    Who should win?

    If this was already discussed a year ago and no action has been taken, they’ve probably already considered your solution along with other, more complex scenarios.

    The fact that medals were updated for loss and wins made the November 2023 Thread that shows highlighted information moot completely.

    You're not getting rid of the pause button and you're not getting banned for losing matches on purpose regardless of how someone does it within the rules.

    Frowned upon does not equal banable or cheating/exploiting.

    This is a thread that needs to pause on any more senseless debates. I agree with majority of the replies and further state you need to focus on your deck and play style to get 45-50K points to win matches and not worry about someone pausing their match.

    Well said. I fully agree with GW’s take.

    I’d also happily and with prejudice call anyone that uses the pause to strategically avoid a fight a straight up coward. I disagree with the “it’s your fault for not scoring more then 15k points” opinions, as by default the cowards that do it never fought and deserved 0 points for exploiting a QoL feature.

    But all that said this is far from the most pressing issue. Shaming these forfeitures is acceptable as in a majority of cases these losers might steal a round out often they lack the skill to do much more than that.

    Pausing =/= cheating

    Pausing is great (for reasons that are unrelated to this) so please do not touch the pause button.
