Anyone else feel this way on BG?
There are lots of BG discussions and I'm going to try and avoid the hot topics but the way BG is currently setup has completely demotivated me from wanting to rank up or improve my champs. Im now avoiding putting aig into champs and avoiding ranking up great champs. I also won't use relics on any of main BG user champs.
This is pretty much the opposite of how it's always been for this game. It's always been about how to build roster, max sig champs, rank and level up, etc. But nowadays, because for some reason kabam made a controversial decision to make BG matchmaking similar to the failed AW experiment years ago, now stronger champs just means harder matchups in BG.
I'm a strong Paragon player who has been playing 7 years, but I'm not a whale (spend minimal), I don't have the new champs (which many of the newer champs are stronger defenders or benefit from specific counters).
Why spend the effort grinding, building up my roster just to be forced to fight harder matches than someone with a weaker roster, who has played less and puts less effort into the game?
I have 24k units saved up and normally would be excited about cyber sales and anxious to see my roster develop more, but now I'm like, why bother, developing my roster just further worsens the matchmaking for me.
Kabam, why do you have a competitive game mode with competitive ranking and where everyone is competing for same rewards but weak and undeveloped rosters get special matchmaking? Why are players now being punished for building up their rosters and rewarded for letting their roster slack.
It's really not fair that when all players are in the same tier, such as gold 1, that the roster has anything to do with matchmaking. It's like letting the best little league baseball team compete in MLB playoffs for the championship while only playing other little league teams.
I agree that lower players should have a chance to enjoy the game, but guess what, if everyone in same tier played each other, I guarantee sandbagging would go away. Sandbagging only exists because of the current unfair matchmaking system. There are many other and much more fair solutions to that have been discussed in other threads.
