BATTLEGROUNDS POINT SYSTEM

LiberatorLiberator Member Posts: 6
I can’t be the only one thinking that with this great new market using radiance as a currency and the only way to obtain this is through battlegrounds that there should be a better way to move up in the gladiator circuit.
Win 2 lose 3 win one lose one, we put hours and hours into this and too many users only to end up where we started with no rewards leading many to think. What’s the point??
There should be a point system issued also for partial wins where you win 1 out of the 3 matches. Perhaps you don’t lose any points in this scenario?
I’m played this game since the early stages and am hope that others would agree to this and push for Kabam to make these changes since battlegrounds is becoming more important there should be a little more leniency in how the gladiator circuit works.
Thoughts anyone?

    There's already a 2 for 1 medal system.
    If you can't make GC with that, build your roster and skills.

    I believe they're referring to the scoring in the GC itself.

    OP, this isn't the NBA. Losing teams aren't getting a shot at the championship here. You need to win more than you lose to progress in the circuit.

    Ah, yes. You're right. 😅

    Some players need to stop thinking that the top prize is for everyone to get instead of just top players.

    Battlegrounds won’t be the only way to earn radiance. It’s coming to AW and AQ.

    Or they should fix the matchmaking so that I’m not facing off against someone who’s prestige is 500 pts higher than mine with 4 r4 7* and nothing less than a r3 7* in their deck and all the latest champs. Kabam said that they’re looking into more even matches but they’ve said that for months now, so it’s probably not a priority.

    It’s not just about top prize, it’s about making any sort of progression in GC. It doesn’t seem unreasonable to think that a single win in gc would prevent the loss of points in your progression which would encourage players to at least get that one win.

    I’ve built my roster and played since 2016 I don’t think skills will change much at this point. I have r4 7star champs and can get ahead in gc but quickly seem to fall back. This shouldn’t be only for the top couple hundred players out of hundreds of thousands arguably in the millions of players. Surprised to hear this feedback but you guys keep grinding 👍

    If by getting your a.. whipped all the time doesn’t serve as an encouragement to do some content and build your roster. Then there’s not much to give.

    i feel waste time for GC.

    So fair matchmaking would be never having to face Bero Man while also being able to score as many points as him, or more? No, that wouldn't be fair at all.

    GC needs to be you only gain points you don’t lose points and they need to make sure deck draw RNG is built equal for both players

    The OP makes a fair point about being able to grind and end up worse off than where you started. It feels bad, no doubt about that. I disagree with the points for a loss idea. In GC, you shouldn't get participation points, however, it would be nice to have point plateaus to reach. They can be 100pt increments or stagger it where it's 100, 200, 250, 300 and so on.

    They added the forced play component, but without a floor set, people who are happy with where they are at may park until their timer is set to expire, play a match, and then park again. Anyone who has experienced losing 2-3 matches in a row, followed by a win, then losing 2 more knows how crappy that feels. In that scenario, you started at 100 and ended at 45 after an hour and a half. If they really want people playing the mode, then those point floors/plateaus would be a great way to prevent the grind from going horribly wrong.

    Without the full BG changes implemented, it's impossible to know how it will play out. If it doesn't work, hope they consider the point floor idea.

    I'm just not fond of decay system. It should be useful for celestial players who abuse the system by camping .But I want to camp after 200 points, let me camp😭

    I reached 95 points in GC and I'm facing big fat whales

    What points level are you at now?

    Every once in a while Kabam puts a lot of emphasis on BGs to boost engagement for the game mode. Be it with special milestones or with extra rewards (like radiance objectives now). This always works and brings in players that weren't previously as active in BGs to the game mode wanting those rewards, and like clockwork it also reminds players WHY they don't play the game mode regularly in the first place. So it leads the posts like this. Rewards are always a chase, players will want to push for it, and then sunk-cost fallacy yada yada. A lot of frustration and burnout ensues for the regular playerbase. For high tier GC pushers this is just an average tuesday, so there will always be disconnect in opinions here.

    GC is a ranking system so it makes sense when you lose points for losses. In previous seasons that was fine as players would just stop playing after they hit a wall in rank, but now that they've set radiance goals in 100 and 200 points, you will have those players pushing too. They'll hit their wall, stalemate points with wins and losses, just wasting time. My take is that they should've added some some milestone with a bit of radiance for players investing their time into the game mode, points for winning, but none lost or gained for losing. Make the goal high, so players can chase and stay engaged. That way even if you aren't progressing in rank, you will always slowly build towards that milestone.

    You have to accept that you have a ceiling. A spot where your skill and roster will cap out. You're not meant to progress all the way to the top by losing matches.

    Lmao, same. I just got above 220 for the first time and I never want to touch BG this season. Let me just get those sweet rewards. I'm sure that if it my to play, I will go all the way back to 100

    OP, just hang out for a little bit. Wait for the meta to change, wait for GC to fill out with more players and then things will be more balanced in matchups. It’s still early in the season.

    There's nothing wrong with GC match making with regard to power/roster size

    Lower end and upper end players are competing for the same rewards, you can't beat another player directly why do you deserve better rewards than them?

    If your roster is small or you lack skill go do story content, Crashed has pushed that heavily im the last few months and there's like 2/3 FREE r4s going around so go get them, once you have them you'll probably have most r3's in your deck just from the progression

    Otherwise, stop complaining. You're either not putting in the effort to grow like Kabam want or you need to practice more and maybe watch some YouTube videos on other's playing and learn from them

    Should compliant much about GC. Invested much time and won many times but then back 0 not becasse of bad skills. They hide best champions and cause lost continously.

    I think players should not play this kind of GC, lost effort but gain nothing. Or Kabam change the way to gain PTS, at least keep some points after some wins not loss all

    Naw that was a complete "mis-read" on my part this morning.
    I thought you were talking about getting to GC, not once you're actually in GC and the point system there.
    I gotta stop visiting the forums while I'm drinking my first coffee and still half asleep, haha

    I love the point plateau idea, that would be great!
    As somebody who has definitely experienced the ups and downs of trying to push in bg's, a point plateau like you said, maybe every 100 points, would give more incentive to actually keep trying.

    Earlier today I went from 104, down to 55, back up to 95 with a loss of 9 points in the end... it isn't very incentivizing when that happens.
