    Additionally, we updated the BG matchmaking system yesterday

    I believe with current system you will experience drop in hours played by users. Conclusion: is not about fair rules, is about fun and hours which you play the game. That converts in some instances in units (coz you want to do better in league charts etc). EA is very good at it: your BG was nothing else then Fifa Mobile matchmaking couple years ago. Is not always about how good you are in live to achive a success - there are other factors like luck, hardworking. Before - I could use the 3-4 stars designed team. Use the tuffest opponnents in the game and win with those talented youngsters with great skills not beign so good. With hard work (hours spend) i could be 1st in the league (and spend units to play). Now - whats the point of playing? I get some Paragons players and even if i matched with similliar indexes... Im might be s°° playing, i cant create advantage. My skill with the age is not like those youngsters, and no one like to lose. No one does. Some people just take it easy. For me ...it was fun to twick 3-4 stars team to achive results. Playing on the same level ..no skill, no point, and we have to agree that not everyone will be so skillfull :) Also those older players they usually more financially indepentent who dont mind spending little bit here and there just for fun. So what would be the point of spending money on BG if because of your skill you cant win? :smiley:

    My alt account just can't seem to do BG anymore with this new matchmaking. Made it to Gold II with the old way of match making but now it takes around 30 minutes of resetting the 3 minute match clock to even get a match-up. I'm guessing I wouldn't get to Gold if this matchmaking's there at the beginning but I'd probably be getting quicker match-ups down at bronze/silver.

    Sandbagging is very much alive. Met a bunch of them. Cavalier, paragon ant throne breakers. Using a mix of 6*r3/4 and 1*and 2*. Kabam give them the upper hand too where they are never forced to use any of the lower champ's.

    The fix they did is a.joke and insult to the fair players

    Looks like matchmaking shifted to prestige based now. Guess I can go back to getting my 3 fights for objectives. No point spending more energy or elder marks.

    Did you try a couple fights? If it is based on prestige then my question is how big of a gap can there be in prestige when it matches you with someone. If the gap isn't huge it shouldn't be much of a problem
    You clearly have no idea how at the top prestige is a very poor indicator of roster strength.

    When you're UC, like yourself, and only have a few great champs, you rank them and your prestige is a pretty good representation of your roster. The higher you get and the bigger your roster gets prestige become less and less and indicator of roster strength. A paragon with 5 r4s can have the same or better prestige as someone with 20+.

    For once i have to agree with you.

    Prestige takes top 5, so i have 5 max 6*, next guy has 15, our prestige is the same. I ban his top 3 he does the same, so he as 12 top champs to pic i have 2, round one is even, round 2 and 3 is a dog show for me?

    Exactly. Prestige fix destroyed the game mode for middle range, ftp and new paragon players.

    It's not the attempted sandbagging that caused you to match against them.
    Matching no longer is dragged down by inserting very low champs for half of your deck.

    Unfortunately you would have been able to match against them o matter how they decided to build their deck.

    If some of those people haven’t adjusted their sandbagging-built decks yet (not knowing fix was made in past couple days), that may be why you’ll still see them as some opponents (but it's not because of the sandbagging).

    You didn't understand my comment at all since you're too focused on trying to argue with me now that you can't sandbag anymore lmao sucks to be you. So, my question was "how much of a gap can there be if it is based on prestige", you gonna answer that or reply with another strawman?

    I already answered that. One guy has 5 r4s and the other has 20+ yet they have the same prestige. It's really not hard to understand.

    Bruh, you still don't get the question? Jesus your reading comprehension. I'm asking you how much of a gap in prestige can there be for two people to get matched since you clearly don't get matched with people with the exact same prestige as you. I'm not asking you if there can be a gap between Paragons or not and how, I already knew that lmao.

    Hi Kabam Jax,
    Those your play time stats incrased or dicrased? One of our guys out of 13 games won 2... I barely play. I really had so much fun playing it before with 3° 4°. Maybe you could create like you do from time time Arenas - you could create a 2nd deck (not for 1000 units) and max 4° (limitations are easy to do). This way, those who can not match with Paragons or simply have 6-7 6° R3 and have to choice wisely who they progress in the game - can match with 4° max? Think about this if your stats will start showing that people playing less.

    That question makes no sense. Prestige should have nothing to do with matchmaking.

    It does make sense because it looks like that's how matchmaking works now which is why I'm asking.
    When did I say it should? Dude you really can't read or respond logically and it's sending me lmao.
