To everyone saying i need a larger roster THANK YOU for proving my point. I have 8 rank 3s and over 15 r2s along with 18 r5 ascended champions, BUT even though the decay tactic does include a couple champions it’s nearly IMPOSSIBLE for a ftp player to have all of them. I’ve got about 6 decay champs on my deck and 5 other champs that work with the nodes due to immunities. BUT this proves my point that it’s more than just a skill issue because I have to rank up champs I wouldn’t have taken up otherwise. It’s always been a battle of rosters but this meta is kinda taking that too far.
Meta changed like the game changed to it not the same as 2 years ago

Again, post your deck and roster. You may have good options that you aren’t using. This is not an overly challenging meta.
The "I'm good at the game, especially battlegrounds" then "but I can't get out of vibranium this season" in what is one of the easiest metas we've had in awhile is wild to me.

Several times when this complaint has come up, I’ve taken a Cav or TB alt to GC just to prove a reasonably knowledgeable player can do it even with a mid tier roster. After doing that about six times, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s always possible, regardless of VT meta. There is no meta that blocks decently skilled players with moderate rosters, because there’s no meta that ultimately prevents higher skilled players from beating peers towards the end of the season and grinding into GC, no matter how restrictive it might appear to be.

How far can a roster with only max 6-Star R1 with 5-Star equivalent, get to?
I have a similar experience this season, normally I’m in the GC by the end of week 2, this season I entered the GC yesterday.
My normal win rate is 85-15, this season its probably closer to 60-40.
The attacker pool is to restricted this season, and the good counters for the badas defenders are pretty much useless in the VT meta. I had to dig deep in my 7R1 pile, to find a few extra attackers, that wouldn’t lose 30-40%+ health on debuffs. I guess, thats a me problem. But when you have 75 champs at 7R2+ or R5, you shouldn’t have to use 7R1s.

I don’t want to jinx it, as I’m one round short of making it into GC but…. I haven’t needed to delve into using 7R1s or 6R4s, and I haven’t ranked anyone specifically for any metas (because I personally consider that a waste to rank champions just to handle 4 weeks of competition). I’ve left many meta-recommended ranks ups at 7R1 because they’re not my cup of tea in the long run.
Using a mix of patience (just playing enough to meet the objectives till they refresh), prioritizing rank ups that have use to me both in and out of BGs, being lucky and pulling good champions from crystal openings, and then strategizing drafts and match ups, I’ve had a similar win rate as with previous seasons.
There’s different strategies one can use if the primary focus is just making it to GC.

Bro trust me all you need is 4-5 top science options and you're set.
Dpx, silk, hulk, titania, luke, spam, Dthanos - These dudes took about 95% of matches for me this meta, And I'm one medal short of gc. I'm pretty sure you'll have atleast 4 of these so you're set.
The past 6 or so seasons I’ve made it into gladiators circuit within 2 weeks with little to no effort. So you can imagine my surprise when bgs is almost over and I am still in vibranium. Now I’m not MSD but I’m certainly good at this game especially when it comes to battlegrounds. I just poured 2 hours and 30 minutes into playing battlegrounds and I started playing today in vibranium 3, you know where I am at the end of that 2 hours and 30 minutes. STILL IN VIBRANIUM 3. And it’s not like I’m 1 game away, I have 1 MEDAL. There seriously is something wrong with the way the AI works in this game, but even more so the META that Kabam chose for this season. I was up against a kindred and I was using onslaught, I did a heavy attack and he blocked it. (He didnt have a resist buff) he just blocked both hits somehow. ALSO, why is it only SCIENCE and deathless champions that we can use. There are 300 CHAMPS in the game and this meta has shrunk the useful ones down to a handful. Most players are struggling to rank up because instead of battlegrounds being a test of skill and strategic thinking, it’s just become a test of RNG and just praying you get the 6 champs in your deck that work well with the node. The meta just isn’t fair for anyone even those with MASSIVE decks. Y’all gotta give some sort of compensation for this miserable excuse of a bgs season. 0 fun whatsoever.
U should watch other youtubers play BGs even with big decks(20+ R3) they stream for 3-4 hr they get barely any points in GC . Many times -100 point is very common & They spent more time grinding BGs
What u have is an unrealistic expectations of where u should be

As a fellow BG rageposter, this whole season- in both metas are much much less restrictive than the past ones have been. This is, sorry to say- a skill issue.

How far do you think such a roster ought to get?
My guess, above average skill, maybe middle of VT.
@Morgx I hope you learned your lesson. Never go on the forum to express your frustration! Repeat it and keep repeating until it is ingrained in your brain. People are not going to understand your point of view and they'll do everything in their power to make you feel small because thats the only thing in their miserable little life that gives them few moments of relief. And then there are some who just do it for fun because they are brats.

I can only reached Gold IV, so I should be below average.

This season is way easier for VT
You just need to have the right champions
