As you can see in these photos, game told me I was fighting Claire during the draft, then suddenly I was fighting colossus right before the fight started. Did it on the two previous fights of the match as well. How on earth does this get messed up?
Been getting this error: Game shuts down completely and I have to reload. Puts me back into the fight upon loading but then after I complete the fight I get a completely black screen indefinatly.
I am able to connect to matches quickly. But it will disconnect occasionally. And also it will automatically switch out attackers/defenders at the last second. But other than that its a very fun game mode. Looking forward to the finished product.
Also, beyond matchmaking, there are problems with connectivity (particularly in match 2, and occasionally with it showing the wrong defender when you pick your attacker, then switching when you go into the fight. For instance, ai brought Red Mags for a G99 fight and ended up fighting Rhulk.
If we were to continue playing this beta Kabam might as well send us a few energy refills daily for the rest of the week to compensate for the connection errors which results in almost instant loss and 15 energy wasted cause the 5 energy refills they sent earlier will not cut it if we were to win 20 matches for the objectives.
They gave you 5 free refills. That's enough for 23 matches. They are aware of the connection issues. Keep in mind that this is a beta test. This is part of how open betas work.
The way it's going I won't even be able to win 5 in 23 matches for that big energy refill objective
Soooo... Battlegrounds beta started. Overall i love the concept. Each player chose 30 Champs, total of 6 get banned ( 3 on each side) you take 7 in team and those are your attacker/defenders. All fine for now. About the nodes and rating i did not take much time to analyze how exactly the nodes get chosen and why the rating is lower than in normal fights but that just me being lazy to inform myself. Now, all the preparations were done we had the first round. My opponent chose Quake as his first defender and i took Shang Chi for my first attacker. When the fight started it was Shang Chi vs Mysterio, uhm where did Quake go? Unlucky for me i lost by few points and thats fine. Then we had our second fight. His defender Captain Marvel Movie and as we know she gets damage if she gets her charges while being hit by a Mystic champ so i took my Sigil Scarlet Witch against CMM. The fight started and it was Sigil Witch vs Quake?!?! like what? second fight again wrong champ in fight? In the end i won the second round so its a 1:1. Then we were in the third and final round. You can already smell whats gonna happen right? Again a wrong champ! NOPE not this time. Well atleast i can´t tell since the third round never started. I chose Apocalypse as my defender and ghost as my attacker, he took IronMan IW as defender and was about to chose his attacker. The time counted down to 0 and thats it. 5 minutes later it still didnt start, nor did i get failed connection or something else. Then i made this litle 1 minute video just to have sort of proof for atleast one of my problems. here is the link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3lZT2sK6uM&ab_channel=gamer after another minute of waiting and nothing happening i had to leave and had to take a loss as if i give up. Now im not really mad about the loss at all, im mad about HOW i lost. I am mad about how the information was wrong showing me what champs he will use and then it were other champs. For example just imagine you take Nick Fury against Cap America IW and then you actually fight an Ultron wich is bleed immune. Your strategy puff there she goes. I know its a beta phase but gosh so many bugs just ruined the fun and when i see that i have to spend 15 energy ( im gratefull for the 5 free refills) i just get to say " wish i had used the 15 energy for 5 moves in EQ instead of wastin them on BG" . I dont expect any conpensation but atleast fix your game Kabam
The wrong defenders are populating when choosing attacker. Then getting wrecked when chose the wrong counter.
I've noticed this too. If you pick a defender but try and change it last minute, it will, if I remember, show either the original or new defender, and the attacker will choose and appropriate counter. However when the match starts, the defender you tried to change to is the new defender and potentially wrecks the opponent. Then it he defender shows as in use so if you try to use the defender that was supposed to be the last one, it doesn't let you and makes you switch. However match starts and boom, you did it again. Accidentally won a match this way...

If this is Beta testing, why does it still cost energy to join? Yes I realize they gave us energy, but why not just have it be free to encourage more testing? I have wasted tons of energy and time to actually get 1 fight in. It's not just a buggy, the mode is basically unplayable right now, for me at least.
Also, the set up phase is too long and extensive for the very short amount of game play/fighting. I feel like streamlining the banning and champion selection phase would go a long way in the playability of the new format. This is doubly true when you spend all that time and energy cost only to be booted from the game and automatically get the loss. Very anticlimactic and unsatisfying. I will wait for the next version before wasting anything else on this.
Three matches in a row now with zero issues. No defenders were switched last second it was amazing and fun when working properly.
My only recommendation would be to make class advantage/disadvantage known in the champ select screen. I have made the mistake of picking class disadvantage, if it was shown prior I would not have selected it.
From yesterday till 5 mins ago. I can't even play one Match. Some are saying its working perfectly, some are streaming its working some aren’t. Any actual info on it? I'm eager to play one match atleast man 🤷♂️ ( again i know its a beta but its frustrating some are playing i can't even get one round in)
My experience with the defender changing from the selection screen to match up screen, it mainly happens when the opponent's defender selection timesout and they get a quick change in after. It happened to me in both directions, defender I thought I was fighting changed and my own defender changed after Auto selection.

2 complete connection failures,
1 managed 1 round only!
Waste of quest energy!
