Victory Track - Battlegrounds

This is a suggestion. The victory track for Battlegrounds mode could be more enjoyable if when defeated instead of losing one progress token you simply do not earn one. In that way, you remove so much of the stress associated with losing. This game should be for fun and punishing the player for losing is not fun. Now that Kabam is pushing more people to play Battlegrounds, I believe it should be a better experience. Thank you for your attention.

If you play a match/fight and lose, why is it necessary to additionally lose the progress you already earned from a previous match? How are these two different fights related? And so why should losing a fight reset your progress?
Players gain fewer points for losing a match...that is a good price to pay already for losing.
People always cry "but BGs ArE a ComPetAtiVe ModE!1!1" which I don't disagree, but to me the competitive aspect of BGs is the Gladiators Circuit. Victory Track being more about participation doesn't seem like an issue, and it would remove a lot of the "pain" of BGs because you wouldn't lose progress, but could potentially make none of very little if your win rate isn't high.
I don't really see a problem with low accounts making it to the Circuit because once they're there, they likely won't make it out of Uru 3 anyway. It would at least allow them to work towards higher tiers and they would still have to win a lot of matches so there's a chance they won't make it anyway if they have a low win rate.
Also the people who you don't think "belong" in GC likely won't be able to string more than 2 wins together anyway so they'll just sit in Uru 3.
It's still going to be a fair amount of work for lower players to hit GC, it's not like its just handing them rewards. They still have to win the same amount of games, just not consecutively.
It would also make facing a modder less annoying, because while you would lose your Marks at least you're not getting set back.
- Paragon bracket : paragon + TB players competing
- Cav bracket : UC / Cav players competing
With different rewards.
It would be nice if it would apply to all of victory track except vibrainum for example since that's the last one before going to GC plus kabam won't have to worry about players farming for points since even if they lose they can't just lose their medals and then earn them again and it can also help detect players who farm points more easily since you can see them losing on purpose since if they win they will just progress and losing won't help with their grind for points
Use the excuse of "fun" to hide the real reason which is rewards.
They took away most of thr 2 coin per win 1 coin substraction when you lose, what makes you think that losing and not having a coin taken away would be rational🤣
So you make this change and the make VT be longer than it already is by adding extra tiers and levels of progression. That way we get more rewards on our way through it. I see what your game is.
BG has changed game experience because no other game mode in MCOC pushes back your progress the way BG does. Neither is there an avenue to push through roadblocks, the average player in the game is used to this. This is also more acutely felt by casual players, so it is natural that they are the ones complaining right now.
Caveat is the group that is now complaining that seeding does not allow them to start lower in VT and beat up easier opponents. That is definitely about rewards.
