For being a niche mode....

Why are the BG radiance rewards so much larger for the upper tiers? Right now, at least by what has been released, the reward structure ensures that the highest ranked players always remain the highest ranked players because their rosters will always be bigger, awakened, higher sig, etc. It's AW all over in that it's extremely hard to move up, even with a group that wants to put in the time, because they are already years behind with their champs in initial placement.

Back to BGs, if we really want to see who the best players are in BGs, the mode needs to be run similar to NASCAR. What does that mean? All the rosters are exactly the same, and are built for each BG season. Each 30 champ roster would be exactly the same, and not always 7-star, R4s at 200 sig. It would include awakened and unawakened champs as well as varying sig levels.

This allows those people that are amazing at the game, but don't have the money, or high-level Alliance, to compete with those players that are currently considered the top, and allow them to build their rosters through competition, not wallet or luck of the alliance draw.

Until the mode is about actual skill, with a little luck thrown in, instead of how long you've been playing (which impacts roster), your alliance (AQ &AW rewards also impact roster), or wallet (roster too) then I believe it will always be a little less than it could be.

i like some of your ideas. a bgs season where 4/5*'s get a crazy boost would be fun.

Maybe your suggestion could work as a separate side-BGs mode, but regular BGs can never be like that. BGs isn't all about skill. It's a roster-based game so the competitive modes are roster-based, with skill facilitating or enabling the rosters. That's just how the game was made. Kabam isn't looking to rewards exclusively those with super high skill. But like I said, it would make for a cool side mode to see who's truly the most skilled of them all.

What’s the point of acquiring and ranking up champions if you can’t use them to your advantage in competitive mode? That’s part of the joy of MCOC. The chase of getting champs, the decisions on who to invest in to help you compete, and the enjoyment of using champs you like.

Just like deck/roaster building is very important in competitive games of football, soccer, hockey,
It's also very important in BG and war.

Maybe a special offseason node but I don't think it would work for a full BG season
