Well, I can`t really tell because so far I have done 1 fight. The things I have seen are pretty nice. And if it works it might even become my favorite mode. HOWEVER. This Beta clearly is not a beta. It preforms more like an alpha build.
Besides the bugs this is the same feel as incursions but you don't have to relay on a partner which is good. It is okay not fun enough for me to play it just for fun. The rewards need to be worth it. I'm talking big 6 star shards, and 6 star sig stone crystals at a minimum. Maybe even units is Kabam is feeling froggy.
For me it's a disappointment.. yeah I know its beta but if they aren't ready for the number of summoner trying to play this new mode.. what makes you think they can be ready when it's live.. another annoying thing is can't even actually battle anyone, connection issues galore.. plus I get a loss for trying.. no thanks kabam.. F score.. maybe D for trying a new mode.. using 'energy' or let's say wasting energy for a beta in live server is terrible idea.. if it were in a beta server environment and I'm not using actual energy.. im for it.. for now.. not even going to touch battleground.. getting loss for bugs in a game mode.. ain't fun.. in AW or AQ, there is compensation but me trying beta battleground in live server is a NO.
For me, the mode has bugs but if I look past them, I think it's fun. Now, the real thing is -
1. Energy cost needs to be reduced 2. Prizes for this mode need to be substantial to entice people 3. Bugs need to be addressed, eventually. 4. Matchmaking needs to be figured out, I found decent matches, nothing bad till now. Played 8-9 games
Literally haven't managed to get into a figure yet, finds a match, we choose bans, draft champs then the game 'loses connection ' going into the first fight every time. Dog ****.
My rating isn't on how it is performing. Hopefully they fix things after the beta. But as far as game modes go it is one of the funnest (well, when it works thus far about 15% of the time). 😀
Played up to 10 matches and I can't deny I had alot of fun although am experiencing some bugs while selecting champs for attack phase and defense phase, sometimes the champ I select is not the champ I will see when the game starts. For now that's the only bug am experiencing on my part.
The mode itself is fun but it's so glitched. Can't tell you how many times I picked champs to either fight or defend and the computer picks different ones. So frustrating!
I am really disliking the tick tak clock sound … like … it’s putting me off in playing … makes me nervous/ anxious …
Only have done one run today. Tried to do one yesterday but could not get a match in several tries waiting for I think an hour in total to get a match.
Maybe I get used to the clock sound … but will never become a fan of it.

It’s good, but buggy. Also, I’m not a fan of the energy cost or the fact that we have to have certain champs ranked for the mode. It’s yet another mode, like every other mode, a pay to win clown fiesta. Give the people one thing that’s skill based for the love of god. Sell skins if you need money that bad.
I like it. Without bugs it will prob be great. It really makes you think about your champion choices and who will be a great defender vs attacker as well as when to play them. I have a couple of champs who have dominated as attacker and some that are dominating as attackers. I'm excited to see what the finished product will have

I've played MCoC with all sound off for years.
Same, never even knew there was sound with this new mode haha
I think it could be fun, but cant get through a full match without connection issues. I have all the doubts that this game mode will be riddled with bugs for the first year or more once it goes live in the game. Can we get monthly updates, quests an other things working properly before trying to push this.
Now that I have actually played the mode (only 15 matches, which had no loading issues and matchmaking problems) I can definitely say this is the most fun mode in MCOC. This is such a solid addition to this game and I’m super astonished at the amount of creative effort that went into this mode to create something new, unique, and exciting. Props to Kabam on this one, just get those bugs worked out now lol
The real killer is the 15 energy. I’d never waste that much energy on this unless the rewards were bonkers. Even then it’s questionable, I hardly have enough energy as it is for questioning.

The game will bring an attacker of defender into a fight which I didn’t select.
I thought I’d chosen Apoc to bring against a NF (his photo was in the selection box) and I somehow end up with korg?
Extremely buggy atm though, but it's cooled down a bit later in the day. Give it time and it'll get it's kinks worked out.
