Hi kabam there is a huge problem with battlegrounds matchmaking, I don't understand why I keep getting paired up against 7-11mill base rating players. Out of my last 16 battlegrounds matches the lowest base rating player i have face was 6.8mill, I don't understand why I have to fight against players with a whole roster full of 30 r3 7*. I just recently became 3mill base rating, my fighting skills are pretty good & I do win some matches but its still super hard to keep having to fight 7-13mill base rating literally every time when im only at 3mill. I honestly don't even want to play battlegrounds which is sad bc I did really enjoy it. Please fix the matchmaking and make it more fair for everyone. It should be 1-3mill, 4-7 million & 7-10plus to face each other in matches. Thats how the matchmaking should be or something like that. That would make everyone enjoy playing and keep the level of competition fair while still being challenging. Please just fix the matchmaking in battlegrounds kabam

It's also been outlined several times why that won't work.
Nope. It's fine the way it is🙅♂️
What I'd like to see is matching based on ability but to do this they'd have to stop resetting the scores each month. The more you win the more difficult accounts you pair against the more you lose the easy accounts you pair against. Until you reach a tier where you're winning/lose ratio is essentially 50/50.
They'd have to rework the rewards structure some but I think this would greatly increase the popularity of the mode.
Also noticed I get numerous death matches in arena.. quite annoying 😑 🙄 😒.. way to go kabam.. (note my sarcasm).
In theory, resets are problematic. But they were not just added randomly. A lot of rewards were put into VT to encourage participation, and if GC players were not reset back into VT they would never get those rewards. That's problematic. Just give them the rewards automatically? No can do: I could push an account into GC and then get those rewards permanently for little to no effort, because I would always be in GC forever. The whole "do five matches and get those rewards" only works because if you don't actually try, you'll eventually decay down to zero and those rewards would also drop to nothing.
We could in theory create a complex objective system that would allow GC players to stay in GC forever but earn VT rewards through activity, but now you've left the realm of "rework the rewards structure some" and entering "completely redo how rewards are earned" territory.
I'm not saying it is a bad idea or that it wouldn't work. Just that it is not simple, and however they do it almost certainly a lot of players who are earning those rewards just fine now are not going to like it. You'd have to make the calculated decision to straight up ignore them in pursuit of something you think would be globally better.
