Is it impossible for you guys to play test nodes for BG’s or??

Because there’s about 6-7 defenders that with the new gladiator circuit node, are literally unbeatable without taking at least half of your health in damage.
This is a genuine question here, because these nodes feel completely non-player friendly. Just another one of those “Well, they got _____ so now I just lose” metas.

Sure, Hulk, duped Nova, AEgon, Medusa without Rintrah is basically a guaranteed loss, Galan, need I go on?
Nodes like this don’t belong in the gamemode, because they are 110% complete luck based. You either get the few counters for it, or you’re done for.

That's why the ban button is there

Do me a favor and count how many champs I named, then tell me how many bans you get per match. Sound good?

Just curious, what kind of BG nodes would you like?

Probably u don't play much bgs 😂
U can use shagchi , cheelth , valk ,silk , tigra ,rintrah ,wiccan

What u can also do block hit till sp1 punish to get grit .

You can use hulking or Titania, of all those you mentioned the hardest, at least for me is nova.
The figths are pretty tricky but are not impossible even with no unstoppable counter.

No offense to you at all, but you’re in Gamma in this screenshot. I won’t say my rank, so that people won’t think I’m just bragging or anything like that; but I will say I am significantly higher rank than that.
At my rank, it’s nothing but Nova, Medusa, Joe Fixit, Weapon X, Serpents, and R3 Jessica Jones’s and Hulk’s.
My post said “they get ____ and you just lose” because you can only draft so many counters to defenders- when there is so little counterplay.
After playing a bit more though, I will say the fights can be worked around to an extent- but this is absolutely just a “outdraft” meta. Whoever gets more of the cheesy defenders, just wins.

Why do you keep following me- on all the BG related posts I make? You must have a crush on me or something Will

It’s not my fault Kabam doesn’t play test the nodes before launch.
To answer your question though, I’d very much like a node- where skill prevails over RNG- whether that be in A.I. behavior like the intercept node, or this one and the special damage meta- where it was draft dependent.
Metas like this really aren’t enjoyable for most high end players.
I get what you’re trying to say, but it’s been a good while since my last post- I’ve been weening off the mode more and more due to my frustration with it.
As my posts have more or less always pointed to. I appreciate your input though.

Even the at that rank that hulk is rank 3, that aegon is a rank 5 ascendend, at least you faced a rank fourth 7* aegon, your comment has not sense, even if I am at gamma and you to celestial the figths and the nodes are the same.

False, against the more popular defenders- you will 100% get hit at least a few times trying to set up Shang’s slow, Valk’s pierce, Silk’s slow, Tigra and Rintrah’s neutralize, Chee-Lith’s SP1, and Wiccan’s neutralize.
Tell me again how I know nothing about the mode or the matchups please, I’m all ears.

Oh no, a game mode that requires drafting counters and placing defenders strategically requires it.

You can do hulk even with Juggernaut

I don’t understand what you’re saying, I’ll be honest with you- I think there is a language barrier; are you saying the nodes don’t matter when ranks differ?
If so, no offense but you couldn’t be more wrong. As whenever you get to those high ranks, all you play against are the best of the best cheesy defenders and attackers. Then it’s literally just a coin flip, on if you get outdrafted or not.
In the lower ranks, most people only have 3-4 of the best options- so once you ban them it’s typically pretty free wins.
I hope this makes more sense now, have a good day.

I don't follow the ranks closely at all, but isn't BeroMan still near the top of Celestial as always?

Yes, and if you watch his streams- about 90% of his wins or losses are outdrafts from either side.
Plus, I have insider info to tell you for a fact he farms points off friends of his on his in game list.

If only half of the more meta defenders, don’t allow you the chance to put a slow debuff on them… hmmmmm that is a thinker, for sure.

I don't know anything about that, but I was chatting with another Celestial player, just asking for pointers and stuff, and he said that a lot of the Celestial guys use Victory shields every match once they get into the higher tiers.
Can't tell if he was trolling me or being serious....

With shang, who most players have ranked up, only nova is a headache. Shehulk can nuke all these. There are many options beyond the top 5.Every meta has pros and cons you can always place medusa nova aegon hulk on defense as well.

Sorta, most of us know one another by username though since there’s only about 2-300 of us online at the same time for the timezones; so we match each other quite often.
Most people beat Bero at least about 2-3 times a day, and then you check his rank…. and he’s still at the top.
Despite losing much more than he wins, when he’s on stream.
I’ll let you draw your own conclusion, but I’ve seen him win trade myself- when a server I’m in with other high level players; had a player (Bero is friends with) streaming by accident, and showing him sniping Bero to let him farm points off of him.

Seyuoh

You are right, but I still stand by what I said- always seems like there is one “obvious outlier” as I like to call them; who is just basically unbeatable without the 2 counters for them.
Last meta it was Count, this meta it’s Nova.
Just kinda seems like Kabam is just copy pasting RNG draft metas- and changing the paper a bit; so it’s not plagiarism.

Although I'll still say nova is definitely unfair, a little too unfair

I'm curious if kabam actually knew of this interaction between the node and nova, if they didn't know this could happen because it wasn't tested then some of the critics made by op can be agreed even if he wasn't constructive with this post

Isn't that always the case at the very top of any sport or game or field?
Skill gets you close, but at some point the competition is too stiff and everyone has to use whatever advantage they can?
Whether it's steroids, or backroom deals, or what have you...
Seems kinda silly to me in the context of a mobile game, but I guess if there are YT streams or some other clout involved maybe it becomes more than just a game for some people...

@Seyuoh nova can be countered by anyone, he is annoying but you can play around it if you dont have a direct counter

Only real defender that you absolutely need a counter this meta is Medusa, rest is pretty manageable.
