Battlegrounds, this isn't an "additional grind" it's an impossible grind.

I don't know if the community here is mostly valiant or pay-to-win players, but it's disappointing that from what I've seen, most replies to threads are just acting like the matchmaking this season isn't a big issue and people should just get better.
As a free-to-play paragon player with 1 rank 3 7 star (that usually gets banned) who routinely gets to diamond and occasionally vibranium if I grind the game I am struggling to make it out of gold 1. I've never lost so many matches by 200-400 points in my life. It doesn't matter how well I might play if my opponent is at an advantage because I'm constantly facing 300K+ health pools while they face >250k health pools.
It just feels unfair that I am constantly facing opponents with significantly better rosters that there's almost no point in me trying to win because all my efforts are futile. The reward boost is nice, but it won't matter if I can't even reach the ranks that I've routinely gotten to in the past. This isn't an "additional grind" for players like me, it's impossible.
Yeah, you can make fun of me and say I'm not good at the game in the replies and that I should stop complaining, IDC.

Now these complaints are showing up in bronze and silver and I don’t know if it’s autopilot or just a genuine distaste for lower accounts, but they dunk on everyone. So don’t expect sympathy unfortunately - Kabam doesn’t seem concerned this season about growing accounts even being competitive for a time in their most touted game mode. And the community as a whole basically thinks you shouldn’t be in the mode either.
Just gonna say run through story, pick up Valiant, build a significantly better roster, and realize the issue still exists: You'll continue to stomp on smaller accounts, and you'll continue to get stomped on by larger accounts...
It's the nature of the beast...
So please tell me why are you acting surprised when you can't reach Vibranium this season on first 2-3 days? 😃😃
Let a week or two pass and you'll be surprised at how fast you will go up.
Seperate competition seperate rewards.
Like do you actually think Kabam will seperate Cavs from TB Paragons Valaints but keep giving them same rewards and those 2500 Titan shards in objectives? 💀
I wish the same motive would apply to reaching Valaint from Cav.
I've always felt that unless you're paragon or above, you actually can't enjoy bgs much. You can climb few ranks in first week and boom, now you just have to face valiants and die repeatedly.
Having a seperate competition to cavs means they get to enjoy the bg gameplay more. That's just my opinion
Do some other progressions actually have a **THREE WIN** objective ?
Is it only for Valiant, in which you probably have good chance at beating some low level accounts.
As far as I know with most progressions, it is a **ONE WIN** objective
and a **COMPLETE THREE** objective (you don’t have to Win all 3 of those).
Unless you always Forfeit matches in which you are going to lose, and only complete ones in which you Win. In which case, yes, forfeited ones do NOT count, you have to see 3 matches thru to completion.
Then why no to crying when getting stomped by big accounts? Even I only play 2 times max a day during Necro 100% and by January or Feb I got valiant, so can you but no
Literally told you to wait out first 2 weeks if your account is weak but no, MUST REACH GC in first 3 days
Side question: releasing content without a snafu seems to be too hard for the team—anyone recall a recent stretch when we’ve had smooth releases for a while? My memory fails me…
