Battlegrounds Suggestions

We know that some people are in constant talks with Kabam giving feedbacks about Battlegrounds, but the suggestions of the regular player base are spreaded through a lot of posts in the general discussions… thought this could gather them all in one post so Kabam could have an easier access to all of them…
Regarding this last Beta… I have two suggestions…
First… extend back the timer and give us really 2 minutes… not 1:50 after the running animations at the start… 90 seconds make useless the use of 5* (especially with the introduction of 6*r4) and remove the option to use sp3 because of the giant waste of time (skip button should be a thing in BGs by the way)
The second suggestion is that we could see in the history of the matches… the champions banned from both sides… this way we could analise and plan better our Deck Building

As long as there are cheaters, the leaderboard should not be tied to rewards.
Keep the mode fun. This is a game.
Yesterday, someone(s) from the team went through and did a round of bans for modding. I believe the number was just shy of 100 and, if I'm not mistaken, many of the targets were the result of support ticket reports.
They did mention that they were not visually removed from the leaderboard and are investigating more into why that's the case. Investigation because: Beta.
This was independent of the final sweep of the leaderboards between the end of season and reward distribution.
In previous betas, the nodes defined who would be the best options. With the reduced timer, the burstiness of a champion often does instead. Champions like Cosmic Ghost Rider just blitz through with ease. I don't mind him being an amazing solution for the odd node here and there, but the shorter the timer, the more likely he (and similarly bursty champions like him) is to be the best answer.
Moreover, defenders that slow you down (like Peni Parker) become incredibly annoying since you don't have much time to actually deal with them.
All of that said, I think that this could be something that is introduced occasionally to mix things up. Similarly to the reduced health pools, I don't see any problem with a reduced timer as such. I just don't want it to be the norm since it doesn't allow for too much (fun) strategy in the long run. However, if used in conjunction with the right nodes, I think it can work occasionally.
No need for battle ground start1,2 screen.
No need for a battle confirmation screen.
Skill selection screen should be less than 5 seconds.
End the game when the winner is confirmed during the battle.
Don't need 10 seconds after the game ends.
Let me ask you something .... would you want to drive your car if your engine management light was on despite the mechanic saying everything is OK and it's just a visual bug 🤔
1: Make reporting easier in BG, i don't want to go through hoops, clicks and screenshots to report someone. Make reporting built in to BG with categories of reporting (example, games like pubg mobile). This will ensure more reports.
2: Make a separate energy category for BG energy .
3. Skip all unnecessary animations and timers
While it’s good that y’all are doing something with the cheaters, it’s also beyond frustrating that people who were reported in the very first beta, are still able to continue to play and mod. Not to mention the process of reporting people through the support ticket takes quite a bit of time. If kabam is going to continue to rely on the players to report other players, please make it easier for us to both determine if they’re cheating as well as actually report them. And don’t wait until the end of 2 weeks to ban. That just means many of us end up using energy refills fighting cheaters and then have to win that many more legit matchups to rise in the rankings.
