I writen a thread on how a small change and massively improve the game mode for many players. Link to that in full is below.
The discussion is very heated because players are very emotional about it.
I would like to keep it civil (not 7* Civil Warrior lol), so thought a Poll instead would be more helpful.

Please be civil with each other, we all play MCOC in our own way, let try to enjoy and not get personal.

For context, I'm a 2 mil Paragon and almost every season make it to the GC. The last few tiers sometimes suck but it is what it is.
Personally, I've always found it interesting that people want to gate keep GC and refer to BGs as a whole as a competitive mode, when really the competition doesnt even start until the GC.
At the end of the day, the top end of the game will blast thru the VT regardless of changes made. Eliminating some of the pain points for mid/lower players seems fine, as you still need to win and preform somewhat well with +2/-1.
I think one of the worst aspects of BGs is the feeling of making no progress. Right now I'm in Vib 2, and I just had a win 3, lose 3, win 4, lose 3 streak which means after hours of playing I have...1 medal. I mean its fine, it's the nature of the game and I'm not complaining, but it just feels like that time could've been better spent anywhere else.
I know Kabam wants to sell the idea of roster development being required in BGs so they can make some money off it, but people will be against that idea for as long as the mode exists until they see it first hand.
Its not the mode ...
And make it 2 medals per win and maybe increase the amount of medals to advance a tier
You are right that there are many threads about BG this season, but that is actually a clear indication of the discontentment with BG currently, even more this season.
Banning people the ability to voice their concern doesn't fix anything.
That is why I wrote a solution idea on this thread, and if it work it would also naturally reduce the amount of thread made regarding BG, again a win win for all.

- Tier 1 : Parabreaker : Thronebreaker / Paragons - Rewards : same as now
- Tier 2 : Uncav : Uncollected / Cavalier - Rewards : lower Bg tokens / same EM wins / 4-5 stars relics only
- Tier 3 : Beginer : Everyplayer lv 20+ that are not uncollected yet - lower bg token / same EM wins / 3-4 stars relics / 4-5 stars hero shards
If a player from Pool 3 becomes an uncollected during the season he'll remain in Pool 3 and will be surclassed in Pool 2 next season.
Lower the amount of places in GC since there'll be lesser players and prob condensate rewards between tiers.
EXTRA : Add an unranked Account power based queue
I can only really speak to my own experience (but I assume others probably have had the same or similar) but before Season 10 I actually had the opposite of a free ride to Plat 2 as a 2 mil mid Paragon.
From Bronze to Plat 2 I got mostly matches of "stronger" rosters, where the bottom row of their deck was about equal to the top of mine. Once I hit Plat 2, I started getting people with full 5 star decks who I either steam rolled or they quit out. I went from Plat 2 to Diamond 3 one season and I didn't play a single game because they all just quit.
Hard to say how this season would have been because seeding.
Actually that would be an interesting season.
Honestly it would be extremely easy for Kabam to implement it for one season without changing anything.
They only have to include this Node which is:-
3* Champs get 100% stats base (i.e. no increase and decrease). Every other higher rarities have -100% stats.
Which mean players have to use their 3* for that season.
That will definitely test the "skill"of players and would sure be fun to see 🤣😁
