Battleground matchmaking is just pure unreasonable

Valroz

Uncollected account paired with Paragons and Thronebreakers?

Why can’t BG adopt something like the Incursions pairing?

Congrats, welcome to platinum, your gamemode has now been changed to hardcore

Valroz

Kabam should probably consider buying some chat gpt license to incorporate more intelligent AI in the matchmaking to avoid this definitely unfair match up.

You think you should be in Plat 2? Definitely not. Be grateful for the rewards.

Crys23

If you want to only to match UC accounts then you should get UC rewards too.
For now, you're competing for the same rewards as those Paragon players so you gotta go up against them at some point

Paragons are struggling until platinum where kabam now decided that’s the cut off point progression wise. Be thankful you’re not getting those matchups in bronze. Ranking up and progressing is the only way to move forward.

Hey Kabam, stop gifting UC and Cavs Platnium. They do not belong there.

Do better.

You act as if he was just gifted a larger account or that it's very easy. Take the tokens you've earned due to Kabam's generosity and buy resources to help you clear content. That would help you; whining here won't.

Literally, no one is arguing for Paragons fighting UC or Cavs.

Anly

Yes lets stomp players into submission 👍 great community

Anly

It dosent matter if it was gifted at all in any other sport ever players arent allowed to used the skills they honed to stomp less skilled people

Anly

Why dont they belong in a rank and why do you?

Furrymoosen

Tell that to the Oakland A’s.

Greekhit

Maybe because he faced stiffer competition to get there? 🤷‍♂️

Anly

How? By fighting players at and below your rank?

You started from the bottom, now you're here.

Calling someone scum is completely unnecessary.

Anly

The kindest word i couldve chosen.

All Paragons that reached Platinum3 were facing consistently other Paragons till there (from Bronze3 up to Gold1).
On the other hand, all UC players that reached Platinum3 were facing other similar low accounts.
Even if the matches are between equal power accounts, competition level is much higher between higher accounts and room for mistakes limited or zero.
But thanks to the new 2/1 medal system, most people from all tiers advance till Platinum tiers, where Prestige matchmaking is wearing off gradually, and stronger competitors move up the ladder.
BGs are a competition that the strongest competitors should move up.
Not the most skilled, not the most experienced (with game/characters knowledge), not the strongest accounts, but players with the combination of all.
These define how strong a competitor is, and the game mode should reward them all (not punish progressed accounts), in order to find the stronger competitors, that should make it to GC 🙂

Because they think different to you?

You need to be taken off these forums. Any thread you get involved in becomes a shambles and descends into childish arguments and name calling.

Utterly pathetic.

Anly

Why do you automaticallly think that it's because they "think different"? I dont not care if everybody thinks like me i do not want everybody to think like me, but that does not mean i cannot tell them that they're stupid.

Oh just think about how much worse off the world would be if nobody ever criticized anyone who "thought differently than them" and remind me what month is it again?

Im not saying this because they think differently than me im saying it cause the way they think is absolutely egregious and pathetic.

Furrymoosen

Yet it requires someone to think differently than you for you to refer to them as “stupid” or “pathetic”. So while you are willing to argue that you are okay with people disagreeing with you, you’re clearly not okay with them thinking their stance is an acceptable one to have. There is a significant difference between disagreeing by presenting a position and disagreeing by demeaning another person because of their position. You cross that line and then some constantly and consistently, which of course just snowballs because your hostility is responded to with more hostility. We’re all going to disagree with each other at some point, but there’s better ways to have those discussions and none of those ways involve name calling or attacking people’s intelligence.

Greekhit

You are free to disagree and criticise anyone on the forums, including moderators, but do it in a respectful way and within the forum rules.
Even if you have a strong point, you are losing it by calling people names.
If someone or something gets you angry, take a minute and respond after, when you get calm.
There is no reason to turn forums into Global Chat V.2 😉

Anly

Cause it is essentially bullying... they can walk around here with some sort of superiority complex and glorified oppression scheme but when i call them out for it, im the bad guy?

Maybe have an opinion that dosent make you look like a tyrant...

Anly

The competition level is the same, just because a paragon is fighting an account their level dosent suddenly mean they're fighting at 200%, players grow and adapt 50% right now could equal 100% 1 month ago

We medium ones better keep ourselves safe

Agreed BGs weren't made to make you get more champions they were advertised as PvP battles where survival of the fittest will be followed
UC and below players have mistaken BGs as a method to make themselves more powerful than the content they will face in story so that they can stomp through acts which is wrong

Greekhit

I feel we are beating an already overbeaten (I don’t know if that word even exists 😂) dead horse with this discussion.
In my opinion, VT changes and matchmaking are in the right direction.
I’m generally critical to Kabam, but kudos to them, they listened the community and did an overall great job to BGs.
If they manage to also implement seeding at some point in the next seasons, the win will be even bigger 🙂
