Not sure why you'd want to, but I guess you can sabotage yourself. Having 11/30 spots in your deck taken by 2*s and another 3/30 banned makes them have roughly a 50% chance of each draw being a dud. While there's a decent chance of pulling a ranked up champ with 3-5 draws per round, success in BGs requires decent counters and not just drawing a ranked up champ.
It’s not really intended, but it’s not against the rules really. There are already a couple long threads of strong opinions on this, so I won’t add too much more.
Define allowed. While it's not prohibited in the mechanics, it's certainly not in the spirit of fair play, so I suspect it is something they will discuss.
This strategy shouldn't be needed as rating and prestige shouldn't have anything to do with matches when competing with same rewards. How can people competing with stronger rosters complain when everyone competing for same rewards?
Why would this surprise people? Aw was messed up and Kabam redid the matchmaking to avoid having weaker alliances making it to the top spots without having to ever face the top teams.
Yet at least one alliance I won’t name, who is part of the master’s if not top3, keeps on swapping between their alliance and their shell, to get easier matches within tier1 and therefor rank higher without having to work too much.
Whatever the system put in place is, some people always find the way to work around it
You should have banned 3 of his 2* champs really messed with his head before the round started.. I see what you was trying to do, I’m gonna counter by banning your 2* champs because I want you to know that even with your best champs I’m about to whoop your a##
Can't believe people aren't embarrassed to be doing that. It's so pathetic
Are you surprised? People will always try and find the easiest way to get the best they can whether it’s morally right to do so or not.
Morally right? I have no skin in the game currently in BGs as I haven't been running them, but you are saying it is immoral to put 2*s in your card deck? How?? 🤷♂️

It’s manipulating matchmaking in the hopes of getting easier opponents. While this is done in Arena with sandbagging, it’s slightly scummier to do it against other actual players who don’t have as developed rosters to steam roll them. There’s nothing “wrong” with what they’re doing in the sense of it’s not breaking the rules or the TOS, however morally speaking it’s a scummy tactic.
Well don’t know what they fixed but I went from matching paragon players pretty close to my level of 2.2m rating and 4 6r4, some 6r3-2 and a few 5* in my deck to facing 3.5-4m accounts with 10ish 6r4’s and the rest all 6r3.
Just odd and I’m only at the gold1 level, not like I’m in the higher tiers of victory track
They really should have made different leagues. They could have made a 5 & 6* league with top rewards and a 4* and below league with lesser rewards. People would still be sandbagging with R1 5* but the advantage of doing something like that would be significantly lessened making it a less attractive tactic for people to exploit.
