Potential Delay to v44.1 Launch
We are currently working through some issues that may affect the release window of v44.1. This means that the update may not release on Monday as it usually does. We are working to resolve the issue holding us up as quickly as possible, but will keep you all updated, especially if the delay results in any changes to the content release schedule.

Call me crazy but BGs have improved?

I know that essentially all that was changed was better rewards. But with the last 4 stages being waaay more clutch than some 6* shards I'm not only trying harder but even when I hit a losing streak I feel like I'm enjoying battlegrounds more. Anybody else?

Last season I would've already been struggling a bit but this time it seems whales are moving up a lot quicker.
Just hit Vibranium and you have the worst possible matchups evar
That being said, I've noticed a different pattern in matchmaking this season that I haven't seen since S13. This was the first season I've faced a TB since S13. It's also the second time I've faced more than 1 account in a whole season that has lower prestige than me since S12.
I've noticed for a while that as my account increases, my competition also increases, making it feel like a zero-sum gain or sometimes even a detriment to progress. However, since getting Valiant with 8.4, my account has improved, but my competition is at the same level it had been when I was a paragon
Glad to hear that others are having an easier time though. Hopefully it means I just got hit with some bad timing and for the most part it’ll be easier.
Apparently not everyone is having an easier time lol
Like you said, feels awful when you lock in Maestro Hulkling for them to go "Chavez Kindred" or to lock in Peni Omega and then they get "hulkling, galan" sometimes the other player gets fisted too, but it's not even skillful foresight or counterpicking, it's the game looking at your deck and saying, best believe you're not seeing champion X or Y this entire drafting phase, but oh, you see that absman the opponent has two counters for, you're going to see him all 3 turns.
I was just telling OP I agree with him cause that's been my experience lately too.
I am in Diamond II right now with 182k points in the solo event, so 118k to go. Even if I lost every single fight from now on, that's 53 matches for the rest of the month and I have enough Elder's Marks saved up for that.
So I can only win... ^^ Which is why I go into the fights a bit more relaxed. Hope that helps keep my cool in the spicy fights!
Little did he know that my boii Venom slays in defense as well.
Don't underestimate the power of Venommmmmm.
However: it says Diamond 1... ^^
5 fights today, 4 wins and promotion to D2...slowly but surely towards the GC 🫣
21 fights and 18 wins so far this season. Personally significantly higher win percentage, which is connected with the doubling of R5s this season compared to previous seasons.
I'm 22.5k and my deck is 6r5A, 7r2 and above. I can beat 25-26k prestige guys and can lose to a 20k guy.
Deck construction, draft strategy, defender placements and of course skill matters the most.
