  It was OK

  Was challenging but at times fun I just feel like next season should be less restricting

  It was certainly a challenge. At times I liked it; other times , I hated it.
  
  Also, having different nodes in GC for 4 weeks, I’m not a fan of. How many people really get to play those in weeks 1-2 apart from the heavy grinders. And then once you get used to a node combination…. It changes.
  
  My level 40 alt account was unable to find a match these last few days. I’m guessing lower level players were very discouraged by the nodes.

  Prestige Matchmaking 😠

  It is fun if you have the roster for it, but it sucks when you have the roster but get a horrible draft anyways.

  I'm fully aware this an RNG based game, even more so in BGs, but losing solely by not having the right champions for the meta, takes the fun out of it. In metas past, there were ways to circumnavigate the nodes & still have a decent chance at winning. I'm all for a challenge, but not one that has the same 3 champions get banned every time

  I think the nodes and drafts controlled the outcome way too much. With the nodes being very restrictive all 4 weeks, the drafts could just destroy someone. Going forward yes there needs to be a challenge but there has to be a line of how champ restrictive the nodes are as well. I feel these 4 weeks edged too much on the restrictive side.

  Hmmm, I’m curious how extending the GC metas to two weeks would feel. Keep seasons the same length and just run two GC metas per season rather than four. Definitely pros and cons to it, not sure if I’d be in favor or opposed. Anybody else have thoughts on it?

  I didn’t hate it enough to skip doing the 3-game 48hr objectives but didn’t like it enough to do any more than that or use my Elder Marks.
  
  I basically gave up trying to win. Glad I could help some players progress to Bronze 2 lol

  Didn’t enjoy the victory track at all but gladiator circuit I’ve enjoyed especially this final week.

  I started off hating the VT meta but I think it rewarded more skillful play and game knowledge to build a deck and play your opponents with some good strategy. I reached GC during week 3 and loved the hazard shift node as again it rewarded skillful gameplay. I hate the week 4 GC meta which is basically a nuke fest.

  I have PTSD when I see an armor up on a defender

  I was making good progress for the first few weeks... then came to a complete standstill and never progressed any further.

  Didn't bother playing it. Lost 3 matches on purpose at the beginning of the season and didn't do another match all season.

  The meta was just not fun if you were unlucky with selections or don’t have an unlimited roster. the meta should encourage you to use specific champs while still allowing you to use whatever you have this one just outright forces you to use certain champs or else lose your ability to even crack 50% on most defenders.

  Everyone had the same deck and it came down to rng of who got the better picks

  BG is literally the worst game mode to ever come out of MCOC for F2P like me. last season I grinded my ass off trying to get to Gold, and DIDN'T EVEN GET ANY REWARDS! HOW IS THIS FAIR, KABAM! HOW IIS THIS FAIR!!!

  Felt like the victory track didn’t reward skilled play, just whoever had the best draft. While I enjoy drafting your opponent into a corner, the fights themselves were boring. Had a real good win loss record but didn’t make it to GC until two days ago. Normally make it to GC at two weeks.

  Losing to people from 20 second fights with LCDE and somehow 100.0% health makes it less fun.

  It was OK

  Strictly speaking about the whole season, it felt more like “luck of the draw” than actual skill. Many times I won or lost just due to the draft and no skill whatsoever. That is frustrating for everyone

  So many modders, bugs and passive like hell AI.
  I found more attractive VT than the last week of GC.

  Lol 100%... I spent over a min on an Omega Sentinel fight in EQ trying to slowly break her armor before realizing what was going on, and then just ended the fight like a normal person in quick fashion... Felt like a victim after the fight lol

  Had a lot of fun some seeing mediocre champs become good defenders e.g. Red skull. but the fact that only certain champs were viable made the whole experience a little bittersweet. I was lucky enough to have most of the power burn champs as 5* or 6* but not drafting them always ended in a loss.

  It was ok as the meta was hard but it made me a better player overall and will make me better in BG going forward

  Made it to GC yesterday.
  
  BG's are like dog ownership.
  
  Love the dog, hate dealing with poo.
  
  Unlike my dog, when BG's poos more than it makes me feel good, I'll give BG's the old green dream.
