Is it really too much to ask for an enjoyable BG meta???

You teased us with the power shield meta last season, which was great, then you hit us with hazard shift into mix master this season...
By now you should be well aware of what are among the most player-hated nodes in the game. So I'm sincerely asking this question, Kabam; if you want us to enjoy the game mode, why do you seem to intentionally keep making it so damn unenjoyabe?

    Because some people hate the nodes you like. Others hate the other nodes etc. Everyone has their favorite nodes. Can't please everyone so you gotta rotate. Not every season is gonna be enjoyable to everyone. Nature of the beast.

    Agreed. Not every season is going to work for everybody. If you don't like it, skip it.

    *Edit

    I'm lucky to have Captain Marvel. Because of her abilities, she is nuking many of these Hazard Shift fights. It's more difficult though when she's banned because of my limited "Decay" roster, and I'm not going to waste resources on champs just for this meta, and won't use again. I'm curently in Vibranium II, and will stay there. I don't need to push to the next level that has a node I freakin despise.

    Parry
    LMLM,
    Repeat,
    Win

    Where hard?
    Maybe try coldsnap, slow and other evade stoppers also? Or use attackers who do shock and fire damage?

    People complaine when nuke meta,
    People complaine when slow meta.

    I like mixmaster; introduces nice edge to strategy.

    In a game where there are millions of players with various expectations, likes and dislikes, complaints are inevitable.

    I am all for really difficult nodes etc but I am disliking more and more how I r3 a champ and next season they are unusable on attack and defence. Sometimes there are 3 or 4 seasons in a row where you can't use your favorite champs. Every 3 or 4 seasons, can either gc or vt be a node that isn't neccesarily easy, but doesnt stop you from using specific champs?

    While i am not a fan of bg in general. I had the most fun on that power burn meta. As a community that was probably one of the most hated. Pretty hard to make a universal this is fun meta when everyone has different tastes in game.

    Tunnel vision, stun immune and mix master is in your future.

    Add shadowboxing and can't touch this, and then you have a good meta😂

    I like metas which makes people rant about metas.

    I don't recall a meta where champs like Onslaught and Serpent were unusable on attack or defense. Who are you R3ing? Sersi?

    I love the slow metas. Personally, I like ranking more offbeat champs with niche utility. Then, when Kabam hits us with something like this I get to roll them out and laugh as everybody scrambles to rank and learn the champs that I’ve been enjoying for months.

    You just described my Toad. I kinda forgot I had him, but once I put this little dude back in my deck he helped pull me out of Uru.

    I saw that Toad is tactic next season in war and I’m praying it means his 7* is coming. If I remember right, he was my first r5a mutant. Absolute banger of a champ, so much utility and plenty of damage if you know what you’re doing.

    In my opinion, and I know it's not a popular one, BG was the most fun during its first 6 months or so.
