So I came across this reddit post by some user who was complaining about who they were matched against for Battlegrounds and shared a clip of it… The hilarious thing was that they were matched against a user who had only three rank 5 6* champions and none of their 7*s were past rank 1.
People in the comments basically told them to progress through the story acts, get better titles, and get better and higher ranked champions. They were ABSOLUTELY not having this construcive criticism and instead viewed it as a flaw of the game.
Here’s the thing: they were being a little B word complaining about everything, and refusing to progress in the game - but they weren’t exactly wrong in their initial statement, that “Until they buff act 6 rewards i feel like I’m at a point in my progression where unless I do somehing like Battlegrounds I’m just not getting anywhere.”
This person is inherently wrong with that thinking because they need to progress to the highest title availble before they could actually legitimately start complaining about rewards… but they’re not exactly wrong either, which is a problem Kabam has created for themselves.
But here’s where i circle it back to the main issue and the main question - if Kabam decides to buff Act 5 rewards in the way that they did, and the majority of the rest of the competition remains untouched or barely modified, how are they not going to expect sentiments and reactions like this? The hilarious thing is they kept mentioning how butthurt I apparenlty was by buffed act 5 rewards, when that was never anything I expressed - only “keep progressing and get better and stronger if you want the better and stronger rewards” and their response was “why should I because the rewards aren’t good” and as much as I’m annoyed by their annoying complaining and not trying mindset - they’re not wrong in that aspect.
My genuine question to Kabam is… what did you expect from this, and what do you plan to do in the future? Because making it easier for newer players - like this one that says they were “given a 7* without ever having to be Cavalier” - but making the rest of the contest not seem “worth it” to work as hard and grind as much as we do does very much seem valid.
