Should GC players be kicked back to victory track diamond 5 every season?

It's just routine work every season to win against smaller players and get into GC
I see Celestial players repeat that every season and it's just a waste of time
We know they can win, there's no need for them to prove to anyone that they can win enough matches in VC to get to GC

Just start all GC players at Uru 3 and play 5 matches for all the rewards of VT
I'm in GC every season and I get smaller players in VT and they see my deck and forfeit immediately
Let the big players start fighting for points in GC at the start of the season

I’d be happy if they kicked us back to bronze.

You do realise that almost all the people you are facing the first few days in VT are also people who got to the GC ?

They probably scraped in at the end of the season... forcing them into GC would then make it a worse experience for those players not being able to face weaker accounts until more people get to GC. With that sort of experience.. less people will want to get to GC.

At least now.. they can wait for the try hards to get to GC in the first week and have a easier time quicker.

I love stomping Cavs and TBs,
Especially those damn TBs

captain_rogers

That makes low level players impossible to win any matches in BGs

You pit it in a bad way. Yes, I enjoy doing victory track

I love the free wins against the small accounts that just quit out when they see my battle deck. Less actual matches i need to play. Time is everything

Completely this.

I’m at nearly 20 R3s and highest I climbed was Q3. Thought I was amazing. Hit the alliance 300k. Left it two days, more players in GC and I was magically at A2. I then tried to climb again, overreached and lost 5 in a row and all of a sudden I’m in U1. Cautionary tale-don’t fly too close to the sun.

If everyone started near where they ended up based on my own experience, I would be at more losses than wins in the GC and I would be out of lots of the rewards I’ve accumulated through the current system.

Keep as is.

"I enjoy playing against smaller players" 😭 this is like, the bullied becomes the bully type deal. You shouldn't get a sense of accomplishment stomping a fresh Paragon with a seasoned Valiant account, and the Paragon won't have a great time either. Move the VT rewards into GC.

But first, Kabam, please change the BG milestone rewards, we don't need 6*'s anymore 😭

Your problem is what though? You didn't play as well as you did on your initial run and you lost a few games? If you can quickly climb the ranks early season, you're a good player who was better than the competition, who in turn will be in a similar position with their account - you're not winning or losing straight up because of your roster.

Very different case to your 20 R3's being run into a Thronebreaker player on week 3 who gets beaten so badly they put the game down. All you're doing is passing that bad feeling you get in GC onto someone else in VT.

I think they should just adopt a system like Street Fighter or Tekken for the GC instead of resetting the points every month. You can require everyone to play a minimum amount of matches every week in order to maintain the reward level for the higher ranks. That would potentially fix a lot of the matchmaking issues so we don’t get situations like seasoned valiant accounts going against fresh uncollected and thronebreakers because everyone will already be in whatever bracket they’ve managed to win themselves into
