  It’s not his fault because people have been complaining about this for some time now and Kabam does nothing about it and would people be doing this if the VT meta wasn't so trash.

  It takes a special kind of person to brag about this.

  It’s takes an even more special type of company to know this happening and do nothing.

  Yes, lets blame the company because people have to exploit everything and ruin every game mode for legit players.

  @Demonzfyre Look up pausing BG in the forum and look at how many threads about this issue and and how far back it’s been going on and nothing has been done or even talked about by Kabam. Why hasn’t it been acknowledged or fixed?
  
  I ask you because you find no fault in anything they do.

  I'm well aware of the history of it. Do you really think it's an easy thing to just remove the pause button and call it a day without knowing if there's knock-on effects from that? Be mad at the unskilled cowards who constantly have to do things like this because they aren't good enough for anything else. These are the leeches that ruin everything.

  Why not just bring a deck of power burn immune/armor break/nullify counters? Even if you don’t think you’ll win the fight, you’ll do more damage than the opponent will if they’re just pausing

  That is not true. I've been critical of them in the past but I refuse to fault a company because people find the need to play in this manner for which a mode is not meant to play as.
  
  What they should do is have a mechanic that if you stay paused for more than 10 seconds, you get deducted points from your total.

  It has been acknowledged and have been specifically disowned by kabam. They're looking for a method to fix it. Just removing the paise button does nothing. You can just throw the game into the background for the same effect

  I just took this season off my self because I rather not play than cheat because it’s cheating @Demonzfyre but until Kabam does something about it people will continue to exploit it. Then again if they didn’t create meta like the one we have now people wouldn’t need to do this for a win.
  
  No way your gonna tell me all these people who are complaining about the current meta are wrong and the smaller percentage of people who like it are correct and Kabam knows and still does nothing about it.

  I just made it to GC, out of my previous 25 matches I had 57 fights and only 5 of those ended with less than 15k points. You won’t make it GC pausing at 15k points.

  I feel like there's a larger issue here than just pause = bad. The fact that you can pause and confidently win certain BG matchups talks of how bad the meta is rather than any cowardice. You can achieve the same results by constantly hitting into opponent's block and dexing while not partaking in the fight in any other meaningful way (though it certainly requires a little more skill than simply pausing).
  
  Why is there such an agenda out for the pause button when the more blatantly obvious problem is the fact that a meta exists in the VT that allows pausing to be a viable alternative than actually fighting? In almost no other VT meta would pausing have given you a win this many times.
  
  All the power to the pausers, it's an easy win for me. The fact that it's not an easy win for others too just speaks of how trash this meta is for those with not very developed rosters (the people that VT is aimed toward might I add).

  @AmaadAkira you nailed it the meta is causing this and they know a large percentage of the player base is not enjoying it because they have expressed it since release and instead of adjust it they choose to leave it and frustrate an large part of the community.

  The way I see it is, there are those who started exploiting it to get better results and there are those who now do it because of how many of their matches are lost to these cheaters. While either way its not ideal and shouldn't be a viable way to score points I do see why people are now doing it more and more. "If you can't beat them then join them" sort of thing. I personally don't do it as I like to actually play the game plus i want a pause button in game to use when you genuinely need to pause but at this point it's not even the players fault anymore, it's Kabams.

  Did anyone else notice dude put Galan on defense and spider ham on offense and paused out. Dude could've save himself two minutes of wait by using Galan on offense, not defense.

  😂😂 is it the 1st of April? I find myself agreeing with Demonzfyre. I’m not finding this seasons BG enjoyable but it’s made worse by those trying to exploit it like this. Problem is there are always those that look for the easy way out when they can’t do it as intended. BG is still new in the grand scheme of things and the idea of a 10sec pause limit before being penalized is a very good one so hopefully Kabam will continue to learn and implement something to stop it.

  If you are better off pausing the game than playing the game, the flaw is in the game design, not the pause button.

  It's only like this for the lower players as for some silly reason matchmaking takes account size into account even though we all competing for same rewards.
  
  Meaning, while these lower players are rewarded with wins by not playing, us bigger players have to score at least 45k while going against rosters of 15-20 r4s starting in bronze 3 and every league up.
  This pause technique would not work with the big boys, would lose everytime they tried it.
