4 days left in BGs… URU II just for showing up in GC?

Yikes… game mode is not trending up.

I’m barely playing it these days, just zero fun left there.

Two days ago Q1 went up 1 point in 24Hr. Yesterday Q2 didn't budge in 24Hr. There is a last day rush to do 100/200 and final days push from most people now. The rest of the time its just the BG regulars.

I will keep asking for BG ally buff, as that was the way most of us could obtain decent rewards just by playing big volume. Would be perfect for the BG anniversary next season, but I don't expect much at this point.

well this Sept month is not a good month for kabam

ahmynuts

The last time I checked I had 15 points and was in gamma 2 lol. But that was last week

TotemCorruption

I parked in M1 last week and am still in M2.

Doesn't seem like it's as busy as last season, maybe no brawl is affecting it? Or the fact that it's yet another Leader meta?

Anyway, you guys are leaving tens of thousands of radiance on the table by not even trying, yet will post a million complaints as soon as you think Kabam denied you some free scraps here or there.

dude bgs is simply not fun … I personally play till I enter GC. Win 1 fight and then stop playing till next season 😂😂😂😂

Herbal_Taxman

yeah, +/- 10,000 radiance isn’t worth the extra tedium. I’d rather run new champs through LoL and try to learn something.

is it win one fight now? I thought it was just play one without forfeiting for it to register

Giantwalrus56

Hasn't been that way for me. Always play out a match win or lose

Win a fight is just for the radiance in week 1. To place in GC, you just have to participate in a fight and not forfeit

I'm only at 51 points and I'm in Gamma 3, so I'm happy. Last season I had to get 100 points to get to gamma 3

If it's not fun for you then you're right to not play it, it's a game after all.

There are definitely modes in this game others enjoy more than me, like repeating boss fights in quests or doing incursions or other stuff. Whatever floats your boat, I say.

Still weird though that we get so many posts about how much people don't care about BGs, seems like there is definitely some coping/sour grapes emotions going on.

For a casual player(which are the most of us Kabam!) this game mode just isn't fun, who wants to fight Serpent, Yelena, Bullseye, Zola, Dark Phoenix, Enchantress,.. every matchup? Those defenders are killing BG's, people even use lower ranked 6* versions of these champions, that's how broken they are.

To please a few players(and sell champions to whales) who want a hard game Kabam killed a whole game mode, that's some great decision making there.

After a beautiful crash out to 98 points yesterday, clawed my way back to 175, face a cheeky modder, get a bad draft, what can you do? What's the difference in rewards, 12,500 radiance. Can see why average Joe does not have time for this

I've got to be honest, I'm struggling with "Defender Fatigue" at the moment.

It's not a case of 'git gud' (in my case it would be 'git average' as that's the best I can aim for) but it's just tiring to fight against the same champions so often, with the same counters if I've got them, using the same rotations and knowing that one single mistake or enemy AI oddity is a KO.

SirGamesBond

I reached 160 points casually doing the miles emotes objetives, so tried few games and reached 200 quiet comfortably. Been camping since Tuesday. Was in m3 and atm still in q1.

I know this seaosn I can finish m3 with a little push. But I'm not playin... don't care.

I'm tired boss

I am struggling to reach GC. easy matches not found 😀

PuppetMaster_18

Battlegrounds is for me worst game mode in game. Usually iu reach gc and get some points but noticed recent seasons gap between accs is bigger difference than ever. Ive been in Vibranium for days if not over a week and must forfeited 30matches or smth. With 2d left im not sure ill reach gc this time.
I dont like forfeiting and question also is…how fun is it to climb ranks when opp forfeits all the time? Do ppl actually play bf gc or do most people just think "ah ffs another whale or too strong opp…i quit" and forfeits?

"how fun is it to climb ranks when opp forfeits all the time?"

Very fun, probably the most fun part of bgs on the climb up because it means we dont have to spend as much time playing the mode which isnt fun

Chuck_Finley

I am at “what’s the point in grinding?”

I have a bunch of OP defenders. Most of the counters. I know post RNG draft the outcome. Climb too high and RNG won’t save you from the roster double and triple your size. And for what… ? If you don’t have another OP defender or their counter to rank… you’re just accumulating radiance until you get one. All other champs are pointless in BG world.

that’s why I just slow walk it and duck out in GC. I just dont care to turn my entire roster into a wooden BG deck anymore.

PuppetMaster_18

Well that cant be intent of the game mode can it? Ppl cruise to top and get good rewards without breaking a sweat while others waste energy, elders and frustration for some tokens? It should be enjoyable but it isnt. Sure i can stop playing bg but as non spender i have to do almost every game mode for diff currencys and tokens to use in stores. It is what it is and i can understand the frustration this game modes have among players.

The game mode definitely isn't for everyone. I am in the "complete objectives every other day" crowd. I'm not a grinder, so the thought of playing the same game mode with the same 7-10 champs for an hour or more isn't appealing. It's basically a juiced up version of arena.

The rewards below Mysterium for an event that lasts a month aren't great, so playing it at your own speed is the way to go. Trap is proving you don't need a stacked roster to push, but the idea of playing it for 2-3 hours each day to overcome the losing streaks…yeah, no thanks.

Ragnaruk5178

I know it’s how they make income but I don’t understand how streamers especially bero do it in bgs. I win one match in GC and call it a month. It must be super stressful sometimes; I get PTSD from one match with bad ai,. When I saw Bero stream and had Spider woman fail his harvest 3 times this month I would have personally quit this entire season

BigBlueOx

they sabotaged it by flooding it with defenders that require solutions

And on top of that, the rewards are good not great. Why grind and suffer through bugs and modders for hours just for a slight bump in rewards? Hard pass.

Yeah, I mean, Trap retired for like 4 months, came back recently, and is now back in Celestial with a very weak roster and with very little grinding.

Kinda disproves the whole "BG is for whales who play 24/7" narrative.

People are complaining about it because Kabam seems to be designing everything to funnel players to play a mode people that most don't care about. Even if you don't play BGs, you're still forced to deal with the BGs design.

Run out of energy autofighting Supply runs? Go play BGs with the Elder Marks we are graciously letting you keep!

Annoying defenders designed for BGs? Go face them in your casual Arenas grind!

No SQ this month or a Poker game disguised as a SQ? Get your MCOC-gameplay fix in BGs!

Enjoy team building and synergies? Nope, since everything is BGs focused, most things will be single champions only.

Additionally, BGs players complain loudly (in a hard to ignore way) that champions don't meet their (BGs) expectations. High Evolutionary and Dracula seems like cool kits to me, but you got people complaining about them because they're not BGs material.

ItsClobberinTime

They need to increase the radiance received in Quantum and below and shorten the gap with Mysterium if they really want more participation cause part of the reason people don’t grind after reaching Uru or Gamma, or don’t even grind to GC at all is because the radiance payout isn’t as big unless you get to top where the crazy rewards are and after every month, the difference in roster size between Quantum and below and Mysterium and above players just gets bigger and bigger due to the massive difference in radiance payout. It starts to feel like those in Quantum and below will never be able to catch up unless they start spending on sales consistently to grow their rosters faster.

Manofjustice32

make GC so you can only gain points that way more people won’t be afraid to try and move up. Losing is way to punishing. Kabam gotta fix something or this game will die
