And in the research I'd found this great idea below by @Wayoncito
To avoid that I propose that the hp points has a multiplier that goes from 0 to 1.
That multiplier would work depending on the time played.
For example, if a player only plays 10 seconds and then pause the game, then the multiplier would have the value of 10/120 (120 is the max time playable in a bg fight)= 0,083 aprox.
So his scoaring would be 15000*0,083 = 1250 points, punishing the pause exploit.
To finish this with golden key a Kabam Miike's reply from 2022
mate we've been through this many times, the only person complaining is you.
many players (me included) who actually play this game to its current progression limit realise that pausing only nets you like 15k points, and honestly you dont deserve to win if you've scored that low.
move on, get out of thronebreaker, then we will respect your opinions because then we know you aren't only getting a piece of the full picture.
Its a general consensus (not from some Summoners here) that, yes, pause is cheating.
Just accept this!
wow I never thought of taking a completely unrelated anecdote from god knows where!
they must be right of course!
i knew all those crackpot facebook groups were right about 5g causing autism! they said it on a public forum so it must be true!
thank you bronze 3 player! i hope you learn how to beat ironheart as she's a great defender!
pausers are cheaters! of course! how dare they score 15k/50k points and bet on the opponent absolutely messing up their match to win! it's a unfair advantage! unfair that they have the pause button and the opponent also has the pause button!
(huge white picture above, not gonna duplicate it here)
Wow, you’re quoting Reddit article ('nuff said right there, but), that was talking about something like a Quiz Show, and whether Pause would be good or bad in that case once the question was already asked. (if you want to try to get 100% consensus on any of your posts, that’s actually one I think you might be able to get that)
I'd love to go on Jeopardy, and when I buzz in, press a Pause button until I can come up with the correct answer. Maybe even pause long enough to look it up, phone a friend (no, that is NOT a Pause to do that in Millionaire quiz show), ask ChatGPT, etc, or just pause long enough that my opponents end up going home.
In MCOC terms, that would almost be similar to pressing Pause during a fight, but my Attacker would still be able to just throw attacks against the “paused” opponent over and over, without time coming off the clock, until opponent is KO.

Not reading all that, as soon as I saw the Reddit logo I knew whatever information he shared was as useless as putting instructions in a bottle of shampoo. I take it nobody has baited him into losing to pause or beat him in bronze though correct?

If you actually read my post I say about Reddit ,not a great place to get info.
But, yes ,in general consensus pause is a cheat.
Ask this and see for yourself Pause is a cheat in games?

Googling “is pausing cheating” without providing any context to what you’re talking about tells me you have absolutely no idea how to find good and relevant sources to back up your point. Every single video or article you’re going to get is going to be referring to a different game with different circumstances that might not be even remotely applicable to MCOC, which means none of it can be used to back up your point. The Reddit article you posted is a great example, it’s talking about a quiz game where people pause the game to look up the answer to the quiz question. Last I checked, Battlegrounds matches don’t require you to solve questions like “What’s the name of Serpent’s green passive ability?” or “How many Inflamed stacks does Jack O’Lantern currently have?”

Here is proof for why pausing is important and not a cheat.
Here's an example of a fight I could've won with ~45k points had I paused. It's a rare case but still possible, especially if the opponent loses a lot of health

But you did not. Thats the point I made. Someone with skill and a counter won’t pause. They will play the full match. Even if you did pause for 2-3seconds in the end, is that cheating? Looks like naturally your fight dragged for almost the entire duration.

Yeah, I was just saying that it is possible. Like what if someone invested a gem and 200 Sig stones only get cheated out of a win by a pause button.
Even some higher tier at some point did the fight restart "exploit".

Tbh your opponent Lost this one as well. I have nuked r3 rintrah this meta using domino and sinister in under a minute. And scored more than 45k using other mutants.

Posted 2 screenshots. Bishop vs sinister. If you look at the first fight looks like I paused. Second shows the actual fight duration.
So...on contrary to what many say here, including @ DNA3000 , yes, Kabam Staff was always bothered with the pause issue on BG. So, dont come with "Pause is a strategy" lol Pause is a shame to whom use and abuse that way.
Horrible fights showed here without the abusers even do a single punch lol Not one fight...both fights!!!
This is the ultimate unbearable unsportmanship way to play a game.
So, as a help to the team, as Crashed said they cant find some solutions to the game to keep running in background when the player swap apps or put the phone down.
Android Devs Stack Overflow and Android Dev on Google are great sites to search for a solution One example= h ttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/8077571/how-to-run-activity-in-background-in-android
iOS devs
Im sure a lot of sites may have this answer too...
Comments
It's not on me ...
I love BG and I do very well every season
But, this is unsportmanship in a unsuferable way.
And Im talking on behalf of all Summoners that wants to play fair and clean!
These pause abusers are cheaters.
No other game accept this behavior, and Kabam is really bothered by this.
If you didnt see on Crashed (not Crushed) statement, I only sorry for you.
Hope they find another answer on Stack Overflow or directly with Apple and Google.
Lets wait!
Also They simply cannot find solutions on stackoverflow and google. That's not how development works buddy
I will find the pics of some guys here where the rival paused both fights from the match since start
Hold on

Haha
With a simple search on Google you can see that, yes, pause is a cheat
Reddit may not be most of times a great place to get info, but look below...

And the reply is great.
In case of any emergency, why pause instead to just quit or lose the match???
Its a general consensus (not from some Summoners here) that, yes, pause is cheating.
