This discussion will probably get left in the dark but i still want to say some of my thoughts about the game mode.
We all know Battlegrounds have been getting pretty stale lately, all i hear are valid and rational complaints like the bad RNG, terrible matchmaking, boring metas, hideous Champions choices etc.
I'm gonna make this post short and straight to the point. I'm not here to change the rewards, change the different ranks, or whatever, just the game mode itself.
Battlegrounds revamp:
-Every season Kabam would pick 80 out of the 300 available champions;
-Both players would get 30 random champions out of those 80 but equally distributed (You get Iron Man, the opponent gets Iron Man and etc.);
-Both players still can ban 3 champions they dislike;
-You get a pool of 9 random champs every round (instead of 3 or 5);
-Every champ is locked at 6* sig 200;
-The rank ups are still effective.
For example, you have a rank 4 Spiral it wouldn't be fair getting her only as a 6*, that's why the "new boost" system would be implemented here. For each 7* rank the player would get a bonus % boost depending on the rank. A 7* rank 1 would get +10% attack and hp, rank 2 +20% and so on, but both on defense and attack (defender and attacker get more 10% health and attack, +20% etc.). Of course the bonus percentages could be reduced.
That way it wouldn't be useless to rank up x champion. Also if you don´t have a specific champion that was probaby just released you both would still get it, but in a small chance, Kabam has to profit off of those new champions.
I know it still has some flaws and some RNG involved but still i think the mode would be then more replayable, fair and unique.
Tell me what are your thoughts on this.

Fixed hero pool,
Every champ reduced to 6*
As long as they sustain the game, competitiveness doesn't matter, the important thing is that they maintain the game so that I can do my act 5, my monthly event and open my 6* crystals.
This would be a slap in the face not only to the supporting player base, but also to the majority of players that actually try to compete.
Stuff like this would be fun for like a one-off 24 hour tournament, but not as a rebuild of the game mode.
So with an idea like this, small accounts get the chance to compete on a more even playing field and with a likely more substantial roster than they have themselves. Okay, sounds nice so far.
What do big accounts get out of this? They get their roster taken away.
The conversation around what is and isn't fair in BGs is silly when what players view as fair is simply an opportunity for them at the expense of others, even if they try to wiggle things around to pretend that expense doesn't exist.
Does the NBA redraft the entire league every game to make sure the teams are on an even playing field because we have to look out for the poor, helpless Wizards? Well, no. They don't get an advantage to their roster just because they can't beat the Celtics, and the Celtics don't get their roster taken away just because they're in the top.
Fairest gameplay is build your own team and fight whatever opponent comes.
Bad suggestion
The player that deserves to win is the player that best puts all of the components together. There's a reason arm wrestlers aren't fighting in the UFC.
Crashed said at one point that they are planning to experiment with formats and events. Something like what you’re envisioning would be a killer 3-day event, IMO. Whether or not it’s a perfect idea, it’s good for people to consider possibilities.
It's easier said than done honestly
