Kabam don't make this kind of BG meta again

- load time decides fight
- u get jean + wolf + bastion nukes no matter how u do u can't beat them

- shows in the leaderboard 200 score is quantum - means barely 1000 people are playing others don't care .
- (suggestion: if u want to reduce the potency to let's say 250% not 400% )

People voted it.

Load time is always a thing

Every meta has champs that outperform others. Even in the most vanilla meta does

Bgs overall are but very exciting once you hit a wall, I don't think it's very active by the end of the event

People on Discord always choose the meta with the fastest possible fights to have a chance to move from Gamma 3 to Gamma 2, while harming the experience of everyone else.
But Kabam is partly to blame for putting this in the vote.
Power Shield + Polka Dot should never have been an option, unless it was accompanied by a node where any attacker could place a debuff. It's shameful to have fights where all you can do is pause, that's ridiculous.
It's not fun to have a meta where someone can pick Jean Grey, Bastion, Werewolf, Cassandra, and Nico and have 30-second fights.
There are matches that you start and don't even want to play, because you already know you lost because those champions didn't come.

Should have joined the discord and voted then. Anybody complaining who did not even make the effort of voting is clown maxxing.

I got those nuke champs and still suck.

Really does not matter what the meta is, there is not much movement aside from chasing the 10K radiances, then drops off. Mysterium cut-off from last few seasons.

Season 31 - 238

Season 32 - 214

Season 33 - 263

As of the last 3 days pace this season, the final numbers would be around 265-270. So this is pretty par for the course, outside of extended season. Actually up compared to 31/32, but I do recall needing 300+ before that.

M3 has been 300+ for last 6 months. I don't gring anymore, I score 200+ and just do objectives after.

Those are the final numbers at the top of Q1 to make M3. You can find them on the cocpit results, great site to have for reference.

Basically same boat, got to 211 will be Q3. I could bust my ass going nowhere to try for M3 but if def will not be worth the hassle, I'm two steps behind to play at those levels.

I don't grind, but the competitive side of me still take a look at leaderborards in last hours just to see if I could have made m2. It can't be less than 300 that would mean I could have landed m3+ with few more matches in so many seasons.

The cutoff scores goes up by 70-100 in last 2 days in case of q1 vs m3. I can gaurantee it's wrong.

I don't understand why the Time includes the load time and isn't based on the time the fight starts until the KO. The Game even records how long the fight took. So if the fight only took you 20 seconds but you had 20 seconds of loading or heaven forbid the game crashes on you, now your score i

Because then there would be no downside to force closing the app if you made a mistake and restarting the fight(, you do get less overall time, but if it's a match you know you can die better, then you would)

Well there you said it. Less overall time to do a fight. It takes a while for the game to restart. Usually you can recover from a game crash if it happened before the fight started in the selection screen. But If the fight already started and you make a mistake, then closing the app gives you very very little time to do anything about it. Most likely you would lose anyway. And this is ignoring the possibility of Kabam implementing a way to prevent force quits from being used beneficially. And anyway I think it's more fair to base it on fight time rather than total time because every player has equal access to it rather than load times for specific devices being longer than usual.
