THE “RNG” IN BATTLE GROUNDS IS UNBEARABLE

Slowly but surely i’m starting to hate this game mode and although i think this victory track meta would have been better served in gladiator circuit that isn’t why i’m starting to hate this game mode. Over and over again i get the feeling that this game mode isn’t as much about skill as it is rng. The matches i loose usually aren’t decided in the final round in a nail biter they are already obvious after the draft. It’s not who plays better it’s who gets the better champs and counters when. So many times they draft a defender in the first round and after all 4 drafting rounds i don’t get ONE of my 5+ counters i have to that champ. How is that even possible? Even if i reroll it’s like i’m only seeing 20/30 of my champs in that match no matter how many rerolls i do. I’m not exaggerating when i say that i NEVER can get my Hulking or Galan, NEVER. Granted they are banned half the time but since i started counting i am at 23 bg matches where they were not banned that i haven’t gotten them IN A ROW. I was starting to think they weren’t in my deck. Not to mention i virtually never get torch, ghost, kitty or aa. This has to be more than just bad rng. No ones rng is that bad. You guys must have some algorithm inserted that blocks r4 champs or the op champs or the champs you need to slow your climb in victory track. This season has BY FAR been my slowest climb in victory track. By this point last season i had like a 200 rating in gladiator circuit but as it stands i can’t even make it out of plat 3. I could see this biting me in the butt sometimes but you need to change bgs so that you only see the same champ once per draft. Yes, you might end up needing that champ later down the line but at least you would get access to almost all of your roster at least once per match so it would be a whole lot lore strategy and way less rng. I’m not exaggerating when i say i get the same champs over and over and over. I’ll see the same champ or two 2 or 3 different times in one draft which is just ridiculous. I really wish you would consider this change.

For me the thing that has worked is that I made countering the node a priority. Aside from a few champions that are merely just defensive picks, everyone else in my deck can counter the nodes in some way. Then in the drafting phase I can pick counters depending on what my opponent chooses. It's not optimal but it works most of the time
(unless they recently changed that for this new season ??)
They do get banned from *both* sides from just *either* person banning the champ.
Although not sure if when OP initially said that half the time neither of those 2 have been banned, whether they meant have not been banned by either player, or just banned by him so thought that his should still be useable.
Wanted to clear up some misinformation in this thread.
Firstly, there is no 'algorithm inserted that blocks r4 champs or the op champs or the champs you need.' This would be wildly unethical. RNG is simply that, random.
Thank you to those of you that pointed out that banning a champ is a global ban, as it may contribute to the problem OP is facing.
And hey, kudos to everyone for a civil conversation involving disagreeing and making mistakes. I'm proud of you.
Then, both Defenders would get shown, and then both Attackers get selected AT SAME TIME.
That way there is no going 1st or 2nd for the 3 fights.

Also, I like the idea that during the 7-champ selection, once a champ is an option once (in either the 3-man pop up or the 5-man popup) then that champ (if not actually selected) would NOT pop-up again.
There are 18 champs that pop-up in total, well below what your Deck size is, so having champs be able to pop-up more than once definitely leads to more of your deck never showing up at all.
So team selection should be among 18 UNIQUE champs, not say 14 unique and 4 others that showed up twice.
Reduce the deck size to 20. No bans. Instead your opponent goes through your list of 20 champs and selects the 20 champs for you.
In today's VT meta, obviously they wouldn't give you Galan... and there would be strategy... do you give your opponent so-so 2way champs, all attackers, all defenders... how do you "mess with your opponent".
