Complete the sentence. I would play battlegrounds all day if…

…each match (or round) gave a small amount of battlechips Similar to grinding arena. It would make grinding BGs the alternative to grinding arena. Improving engagement and the amount of players willing to play it regardless of the skill levels (more players in mode = better matchmaking and better experience for all)

IMO I don’t grind arena very often at all. But a player can infinitely spend their time grinding battlechips in arena if desired. (But that gets boring) playing BG’s is fun, BG losing streaks for nothing is not. The more players available in the mode the more cannon fodder for each other not just for the most skilled. One person cannot infinitely simultaneously grind arena and BG matches so earning battleships in BG matches:

1. Would not break the economy or create any more opportunities to earn a maximum amount of battlechips that one person can already earn if they grind arena.
2. Would incentivize others to grind and play BG mode for battlechips (and current BG rewards system) and ease the psychological impact of losing matches feeling like your playing the mode for at least a little reward even if you are bad at it.
3. Radiance remains the premium reward for the mode. The better you are the more radiance you earn but battlechips become the consolation prize for everyone else, and makes losing multiple matches more psychologicaly digestible because you still get something for your time spent grinding BG matches even if you are bad at it or outmatched often.
4. May improve current behavior of , get your 3 wins and then don’t play again until they refresh.

What would help you play BGs more often?

very good suggestion

Kabam never approve for this.

Just imagine that if you have a lot of units, then what? You'll not spend $ to buy units for Jul 4th/Cyber/etc.

They create more events (such as BG) so that we don't have time to play arena, and we need to spend to upgrade champs to compete in BG.

Polygon

Very good idea OP

They can just remove the units from Arena and have it in BGs.

For the simps that will comment "dont touch arena", theres no reason not to if they will replace it with this suggestion. Arena is dead and the most boring game mode, its even worse than Incursions. And units value have gone down over time with how many events require it.

Getting matched to similar prestige opponents.

Im not the best player, but facing players 10-15k higher than me isba bit of a task

I don't think there's anything they could do that would make me want to play Battlegrounds... no reward is gonna make it any less soul-destroying.

I'm thinking every match gives you a very small amount of shards, get enough shards and you get 7* Magik. I know she is coming for radiance, but radiance should be left for catalysts and units

Or even better, delete arena and the grind forever and just merge all the rewards with BGs ones because nobody actually plays arena for fun, it’s an outdated mode 90% of the playerbase wouldn’t miss. This would also probably incentivize more people to play BGs ESPECIALLY if sales are going to have early frontloaded milestones from now on

BGs is inherently trash. This won't save the mode but it would be nice to get 2-5k battlechips per win.

If they deleted arena and put the units in BGs this would very likely inflate the amount of units in the game which would then force Kabam to keep increasing the costs of their events.

Let's leave arena alone, it's not meant for anything other than units and it's supposed to be very painful.

Why would it matter tho? Way I see it, if the costs increase alongside with the unit gain for every player then it’s a fair trade. I just think they need to scrap arena completely already cause it serves no purpose other than farming units. This was one of the main reasons old EQ got completely revamped so, either scrap arenas entirely or revamp them, it’s a terrible unenjoyable game mode just like old EQ was in its current state

If they scrapped it and moved units around, I imagine the things they're going to make players do to get those units will be very very painful and time consuming…

We have it relatively great, let's not ruin a good thing.

They could easily just move them to the new PvE mode they're working on, or like I said revamp arena entirely like how they did with old EQ and then just tune it accordingly little by little until it's actually enjoyable. You act like current arena isn't already time consuming and painful, it is far from being a good thing.

Also, they literally moved a portion of the old EQ units to the daily quests, is that time consuming and painful? There's definitely ways they could handle this without making it worse.

Crashed has already said that a revamp of the arena would yield lower units for us or require more time.

Let it go, lol. Any change is bad for us.

Mixtapevol02

If you move arena units to BG, then a lot of people will complain about matching making since it’s more difficult to grind. At least in arenas they are playing and winning at their own convenience. In addition it will make it easier for whales to get units which could lead to less spending.

There is no game mode i can play all day.

Arena is genuinely the most fun game mode we have because it's the closest we get to an infinitely replayable fighting game

That is an interesting idea.

From this what I would love to have is Arena Plus.

An Arena with 300% Health and 100% Attack increase on Def (same level as BG).

It would be fun to get random Def and random Attacker, it would give me a chance to test out champions rotation and even using champs that I normally don't use.

I love to play arena. I don’t feel stressed at playing it. I complete all the milestones and get some units. Battle grounds make me feel nervous and bad when I lose. I really want to play BG. I’m ranking up my characters and watching advices on YouTube about the best attackers and defenders. Seatin made me laugh with Ronan beating all the tough defenders with his first special attack.
