After 20 straight losses in battleground at platinum 1, with still no idea when I will get a win, and facing non stop legend title players. And have to go though playing the whole match still with these rosters where banning 3 champs makes no difference. What does one gotta do to get a decent fighting match up.

On top of that ruining your day cause you are forced to play all rounds cause who knows, they might ban you for not trying and losing purposefully.

I had 10 straight losses before, but used to always bounce back, but seems this time it's just sucking your soul in such depths of hell, forget battleground ground, you don't even feel like playing MCOC at all. When you take out the fun hope and its only misery.

Good luck to people who are striving and hoping they have a chance at gladiator circuit who never reached it earlier seasons.

Amazing anniversary event, slow claps. Who knows how many might give up on the game.

    🧐The further you go the more losses you probably will get. I don't really mind since I'm using EM anyways. I'm currently stuck in Diamond 2.

    What’s your roster like and what’s your story progression? Cause there’s a high likelihood that you should be focusing on things other than bgs rn. If you can’t progress past a rank, then that probably means that you’re not supposed to be going forward much farther

    I’m a 💩 Paragon, 9 x 7*s, 7 x R4s, rest of the deck is R3s.

    I don't know what it is, but I'm getting more "fair" fights this season...I started in P2 after Vib3 last season, and have won 7 out of 8 fights so far, and am now in Diamant IV.

    I still have no ambitions above D1 this season, and to start in Plat next season, I only play 48 hour objects, and sees where it takes me.

    I have reached gladiator once when we had special rewards in battleground, though it's not my focus and usually I play bgs casually for objectives every 2 days.

    Don't we focus based on rewards ?

    I would say I am not very skilled, and my gameplay varies being very good to very bad at times(AI issues) and have pushed myself mainly though revives and units in SQ.

    We all compete for the same rewards.

    You should be in GC...I believe Diamonds are for Thronebreakers

    Buddy when you manage to score 49k points and opponent stills outplays you, or when you have a tough matchup with these insane rosters, and you manage to finish of defenders but the opponent finishes the match in 30 seconds with perfect score, would you feel you are in fair matchups?

    Especially when the best defenders you placed get obliterated, feeling you hopeless.

    Now imagine this happening back to back for 20 games. Just seeing legend title opponents, would it feel fair ?

    You reached as high as your roster will take you for now.
    Its a competition for all level of players, you don't get to be the #1 of your roster level.

    I have reached gladiator bro, once, and haven't had such bad match-ups for 30 games straight I meant. If you feels the match making is good I understand, my friend with better roster has at worse 30% win, even he was surprised.

    But but players who do forfit are ruining the matchmaking 😭 ridiculous

    Forfeiting with the intent to stay lower for Points farming is the problem. Not using the Forfeit itself. Personally, I've used it once so far, and I'm not afraid. I was outmatched is all.
    What they're saying is farming Points is abusing the system. It's really not hard to tell the difference, and they indicated that they're fairly confident they will know.
    There's no need to exaggerate the issue.

    So it's pretty much *okay* to do that then...? Cause I've had some concerns too like if I see someone who's WAY more beefy roster than me. Sure, if I used Elder Marks, it would probably be in my best interest to just play and loose. But if I used energy and KNOW it's going to be a waste of my time, I should be able to hit the 'forfeit' button without any real worry of consequence?

    If the issue was the Forfeit button itself, I suspect they would remove it.
    The issue is Players are throwing Matches, whether through Forfeit or other ways, to cherry pick Matches for Points farming.
    I'm certainly not concerned that I used it once. I've played every other Match. Sometimes you just don't have the patience to have your butt handed to you and Emotes spammed. Lol.

    My point exactly. You got an easy ride to the top and now you're stuck.

    How do you think I got an easy ride ??

    I had to grind hard to get to gladiator. Last time I was diamond 1, played only for objectives every 2 days.

    You are experiencing something called.......competition. There will always be a ceiling for you to hit until you become the number 1 player in the world. It's not your time now. Matching making isn't broken. You're not supposed to only be matched against people that you can beat easily. You're in a tier where it's a free for all in terms of who you'll get matched with. That's on purpose as it's continuing to weed out the players who can't climb that high.

    That's why I said as of NOW, chances are you make it back to GC once all the harder competition moves up 🤷

    Where did I mention I need big accounts need to quit to give me easy wins, all I want is to have decent matchup at my skill level, where I have a fighting chance. Not accounts with legend title who have all champs above 20k rating while I have 4 and they laugh at my account at the start of the match, where I have to fight 7 star r2 awaken korg.

    Now I get it maybe matchmaking is not that easy but to be on a losing streak and getting match up with legends/whale accounts doesn't seem fair.
