This game needs to change some rules in battleground especially when they choose your opponents , i am 16k prestige and this game give opponents with more than 25k prestige this is silly and unbelievable even if we are the same rank you can give an opponent similar to my prestige it's okay if his prestige is higher than me but in the same time not more than 18k

Bringpopcorn that bunch of cav have units to spend in bg
Literally the only people with the same prestige and account rating in Battlegrounds as they do is each other. So in your version of BG, they would just match against each other, over and over again. And let's say they are roughly equal in skill, so they are winning at a 50% win rate. You gain two medals for every win and lose one for every loss, so every two matches they both gain, on average, one medal. So they keep moving up in VT, promoting over and over, facing only each other until they finally make it to the Gladiator Circuit having faced nothing except the weakest players in the game.
That's ludicrous, but on a larger scale that is what actually happens when you let players only match against other players that look like them. They never face anyone stronger. But the whole point of Battlegrounds is that it is a competition where the stronger players should rise higher than the weaker ones. That can't happen if the weaker players only ever see other weaker players. They have to eventually face stronger players.
Kabam used to match in a similar way: matching my roster strength. It was a disaster precisely because this is what happened. It might seem unfair to get matched against much stronger players, but that's intentional. If you want to move up, you have to face who is there. If you want to promote past a VT tier, you have to beat whoever is in there.
There are complexities to this involving seeding that make this more tricky. The bottom line is that VT "sorts" players over time: stronger players move up, weaker players don't, and eventually the weaker players face each other at lower VT tiers and the stronger ones face each other in higher tiers or in the Gladiator Circuit. But the key word is "eventually" - early in the season players are still mixed up and haven't had time to sort themselves out. It is still early in the season, so it is more likely for weaker players to face stronger ones. The deeper into the season you go, the less often this happens. But to the extent that it does happen, you just have to deal with it.
BG is not about having fair fights, it is about having fair competitions. If every fight was "fair" then the competition as a whole would suffer, because the strongest players would be penalized by only facing each other, while the weaker players would get the advantage of having a much easier path to promotion, having never had to fight anyone stronger than they are.
I can't remember the last time I scored 300k, normally don't even hit 200.
