Ok so battlegrounds has been in decline for several months now, with lower participation, a significant decline in the amount of players reaching Gladiator Circuit, mostly due to how extremely difficult and costly it is, player burnout,
etc, all contributing player hating Battlegrounds despite it being so popular prior to 6 months ago. It's become so difficult to not get matched up with top tier players, how can you expect people to want to be TB or lower and have to go 9/10 matches up against an entire roster of max sig r5 ascended 6*'s and r3 high sig 7*'s, obviously losing because even r5 ascended 6*'s can't compete with high sig 7's. And because while they'll all deny it, many are infact purposely losing matches, or forfeiting, keeping them in platinum and under. While this is permitted, it has ruined Battlegrounds and that I can't imagine the sudden decline is in your best interests either.
A very simple and easy way to fix this problem could be to change how the wins/loses works. What I'm proposing is for there to be increase the wins tokens needed to progress to the next rank, while a win token stays, no longer losing 1 token per loss. Make it so that if you are valiant, it will take say 5 tokens to progress, and increase the requirement by 1 per lower progression. So valiant 5, Paragon 6, TB 7, and so on and so forth. That would ensure that the top players a forced to either lose every match, or progress, keeping lower players active in Battlegrounds. Maybe even in increase the wins needed for TB and under to 10, to make them earn it, while reducing somewhat the problem of unfair matchups.
