    i dont get it what makes people think bgs is running the game, more than half of the playerbase does not even play it regularly, there would definitely be alternate content released more frequently, same with story chapters..

    the game was definitely not dead and players were playing it before bgs was a thing

    battlegrounds is the ultimate driver of chasing rankups, resources, and champions.

    before, rosters didn't really matter except for a handful of war attackers and defenders and a few more for content. if someone in the battlegroup had a defender, you wouldn't rank them, but bgs changed everything and players face the pressure of needing 30 of the best defenders and attackers they can get under a constantly changing set of globals. this really opens up the game and gives kabam a chance to make a ton of money.

    if they replaced BGs with something else, it would have the same champion and resource chase as it does now.

    edit: even if a lot of players don't do battlegrounds, the biggest spenders do and they're funding the game.

    I was expecting the multiple disagrees, because of my serpent joke.

    I know how good he is on attack. I have him r3 unduped and only use him on attack 😂

    Tell us about a gamemode which keeps playerbase engaged for whole 20-25 days all while taking minimum effort from Kabam??

    Don't say SoS fights, as those can be done in an hour and Kabam have to think of nodes and interactions a lot because when Kabam don't think, we get SoS absman on drugs.

    BG's doesn't keep people engaged though. From my own experience, most people don't start playing it until last 2 weeks and even then just do objectives. Apart from a small minority of players, it's just another game mode who do the bare minimum or nothing at all.

    BG generates money, like a lot.
    Most if not all new heroes are designed and sold as BG, latest example is count nefa, Serpent etc

    Nefa sold for 700 dollars,
    Kabam don't care what avg blud does, as long top whales are spending money, Kabam is chilling and so should we.

    No money
    No game

    I truly believe if BG's didnt exist we had x2 more content and by this time I type it
    we surely had a rewards Buff for CAV/TB EQ + Valiant level added.
    AW would probably be a bigger focus and Kabam probably would've add more content like
    Shooting Star or Crucible

    How is any of that better than an actual PVP mode though?

    Without BGs the game wouldn’t be near the level of where it is currently.

    Also Serpent is good on attack, he’s just not a nuke

    If bgs didn't exist we live in the alternate timeline

    I know serpent is good on attack, some people just don’t get a joke. He’s good in long fights.

    I like BGs but I wish we also had a seasonal reoccurring mode similar that didn’t involve pvp aspects, not like sos or eop but like shooting stars or variants where we have restrictions node wise but in a quest like fashion with decent rewards, monthly eq is trash and we need something new

    BG is a great idea. I like that it's a competitive mode where you test your skill choosing and using champs dealt by chance.

    Unfortunately, it's made frustrating by a certain player type. Because of them, I think seeding for the next seasons wins by forfeit initiated by players ranked (maybe) 2 levels higher than you and by pausing should have less weight.
