battlegrounds is in its most unplayable state

Roth

im a player who has completed everything in the game, i’ve explored epoch, wof, the ordeal, necropolis, and all of the necro master challenges. i’ve explored all of story from act 1 all the way to 9.2. but all of this is only enough to give you 4 rank 4s, that’s cool, but there is no reason why people should have decks of 2-3 rows of rank 4s. im sorry but if you guys are willing to continue killing the enjoyment for the majority for a quick buck with these events where people have to spend 10000s of dollars for a broken character no one else can get and a million rank 4 materials every 2 months, the game won’t last long. is this why every other game made by kabam gets shut down? genuinely asking.

and if you don’t want to spend money, you have to sit and slave arenas for hours a week for months just to barely keep up. it’s horrible. the only option i have at this point if i want to play bgs after completing everything else in the game is either sit and wait for events, slave arenas or spend 1000s of dollars to keep up. it’s insufferable and something needs to change, i understand they have to make money but there are definitely better ways to make everyone happy. but sure let’s add a whatever this new gamemode is to the game, oh wait.. more annoying rng as if we didn’t have enough of that already.

The match making is ridiculous. I'm a 2.2 mill account Valient with 2 r4. But even with all this I'm getting matched against 9-10-11-12 mill mammoth account. It's f##### wrong.

Eh it’s not that bad . Sure sometimes I lose like five matches in a row against crazy account but then I get a couple of easy ones . If can be a bit annoying but I regularly make it GC.

The matchmaking is far from the problem like alot of people claim, its the insane amount of monetization of resources. Its a all time high, the gap between f2p and whales just can't be bridged anymore, r4s were released too early. They should have been introduced them along with radiance and maybe tune down number of r4s from j4? idk man everything is just out of hand and no solution in sight. This is purely from a bgs point of view, reaching celestial or m1 for a f2p is just nearly impossible, you either need to be insanely skilled and upto date with all content, in a high tier war alliance and grind arenas or be a whale.

The game was honestly fine before j4, I was enjoying bgs, war, the new content (except wheel of fate quest 2) but after that bgs is just insufferable and they start experimenting on other gamemodes ruining the fun there aswell...and now the mysterium store buff was also a massive let down, not to mention all the other bugs and problems with raids..the compensations are also just disgustingly bad for the amount of pain caused and time that was wasted.

no im talking about IN gc lol, i barely was able to get 115 points because i had to keep playing dudes like this who just ban the only rank 4s i have while they have like 13. some how i still win but its just insufferable to play against over and over.

this isn’t even nearly as bad as it gets.

Personally I think it’s just the meta that’s hot garbage. Most whales I face have more money than skill, but when the meta rewards decks with more node-synergistic options far more than skill, it becomes a much bigger problem to face them.

I can’t wait for this week’s meta to be over.

that is also a contributing factor, this meta is dookie. i think ill try to sit in quantum and play if i have to when it switches.

By my estimate, you're like the 2367th person to post here on the forums about how you don't understand how a competition works and how BGs works.

Ngl I dont think we'll ever get a "good" meta. Kabam has released far too many defenders with very intricate kits that force a certain playstyle, to the point where any node combination just feels unfun to play against

Did you complain when you're matched against someone weaker than you on your way to reaching 115 points in the gc?

I did, I said something along the lines of "What the heck are you even doing here you lowbie worthless account, get out of my way and my radiance immediately!!"

You are IN gc? You want to play in the higher leagues but skip the top of the competition? What a dumb complaint lmfao I want to be the cream of the crop but I need training wheels.

It’s the meta, very few champs are immune or resistant to electric defense power burn

This a great point lol. It's one thing to complain about match making in the vt but the gc is open season, and he isn't even doing badly. 115 points is good going for a account with only 3 r4s. Man just wants an easy ride.

KillerM

week 3/4 GC is pretty awfull i’m not enjoying it and sit this on out..lately BG feels not fun to play anymore and thats not because of the whales but of the nodes that sucks 🥱

JESUSCHRIST

Skill issue

But the current points system should be changed, players should get much more points when defeating decks with more 7*R4 champs

Same. Same.

Out of all of the battlegrounds complaint posts, this is the only one I respect and somewhat agree with. I’m in a very similar account situation as you. Yes, it does feel a little unfair. Yes it gets frustrating. But will it kill the game? No. This is actually what’s keeping the game alive. Without spenders, there is no MCOC. So I’ll deal with it and be occasionally frustrated, but I’ll also be happy that this game continually have new content because people are willing to pay to play it.

This season sucks for sure. The constant regen is stupid. I’m a thronebreaker constantly facing valiant legends. Why?

The current GC one is quite fine actually. I think there's a pretty big difference between "this node will draw out your fight if you don't play around it" and "you will die for playing this node" metas. Electric defense meta was the latter.
