Potential Delay to v44.1 Launch
We are currently working through some issues that may affect the release window of v44.1. This means that the update may not release on Monday as it usually does. We are working to resolve the issue holding us up as quickly as possible, but will keep you all updated, especially if the delay results in any changes to the content release schedule.

And on defense use people like civil warrior or colossus as both cant have there armor ups removed from stuff like stagger
This is the first time i got mad with this BG, i lost in all of my 3 fights rightnow, why? Because of the electric defense nodes. All i can do now is block all of my opponents attack.. Thank you for this kabam. Really, thank you.

In the first couple weeks, a vast majority complain about it the meta, the matchups, etc, but after that, those with bigger, more diverse rosters move up in the ranks, then those with the less diverse rosters stop complaining.
As someone who doesn't take BGs incredibly serious, I kinda like this meta. It's challenging for sure, but it's not impossible.
In the past we've had weeks where the nodes don't really matter and its just a nuke contest. Thats not good.
But for this week where yes, it is restrictive, there are also plenty of counters. One of the big things about this gamemode is that you are supposed to reshuffle & constantly edit your deck to match the new metas. Without that core idea, everyone would just use the same / very similar decks and never make changes. Whats the point in that? Part of the fun (for me at least) is figuring out who does and doesn't work each week.
Just to put it out there, this isn't coming from someone with a massive whale account. I have 8 r3 champs & 16 r2, far from the strongest account and my deck is mostly 5*.
In my honest opinion, Victory track should be a fun gamemode and the competitiveness of it should be the gladiator circuit. This current meta makes it not fun unless you have a very diverse roster of champions ranked. Keep in mind that champions that place armor breaks on hits, like medusa, have to take 1 hit of power burn damage to remove the armor up. Champions with neutralize have to have 100% uptime on that neutralize since chitin charges do not reset to 0 due to neutralize. Those with fate seal suffer the same as those with neutralize.
The chitin charge node is the real issue this meta, there is 0 way to counter it with anyone. A recommendation I saw and really liked was to have chitin charges be reset to 0 on a heavy attack. This'll make it more possible for any champion to be useful, while also increasing the value of defenders who naturally have armor ups.
Basically this month is ....
Have a specific counter to be in with a shot of winning.
No other workaround
To give an example, I fought a Colossus yesterday, and made a completely bone headed move. I had Howard the Duck in my roster, who could have put on armor breaks and been a great counter, but because I wasn't thinking about it, I instinctively picked Nimrod as my attacker, and needless to say, I got wrecked.
I think the challenge, and needing to put some thought into it, is refreshing. We have arenas for mindless fighting that requires little to no thought at all.
I wanted BattleGrounds to come back so I could have some fun with all my new rank ups I've been working during this holiday break. It was a surprise to find myself with the worst BG season ever... Nodes are meant to make you find new ways to overcome them and win... BUT these nodes are meant to focus more on specific rosters than adapting your play style around them. You can build most of your decks to counter some of these nodes but then find yourself that the 7x champions you choose(Randomly) aren't the best and then seeing your opponent get the perfect 7x champs. I was so excited for this BG season but I think I will save my elder marks and skip this season...
Good luck to all of those that wanted to just have some fun on BattleGrounds !
Gud - not even a word.
Garbage nodes and 15.8k+ only matches are AWFUL.
Stop it Kabam.
2 sides to each coin lad 😉
