BG matching, once again

I do not understand, again.
I literally forfeited last 5 matches because opponents were 30-45k all champs.
So I spent 2 full refills to just promote 5 people for free to the next tier.
Same happened to me, my champs are 18-25k, and I got matches with 15-20k.
My questiins is: what's the point?
I can help you here:
SELECT p1 FROM bgTable
WHERE p1.topChampRating == myTopChampRating +- 1000
Simple

Just take 200 of my energy and do not waste my time forfeiting etc.
I understand your position. You thought out every part that would make it "fair" for you. You just didn't think anything at all on the other part.
Fair for me is to compete, and now having victories without a struggle just because they saw my r5s200ascended serpent, onslaught and enchantress and forfeited. It is just wrong
I hope that 1:40 match search is connected with kabam already addressing the issue
I do not mind playing against tougher opponents, it raises the skill, but... do those opponents enjoy the slaughter? 😁
So you think you should have lesser competition to move up and get the same rewards I get for facing harder competition?
I don't know why so many people think the problem is that this is impossible, and they are just the geniuses to solve the problem. The actual problem is what they want is freaking horrible.
Matching only people like you means weak players can just match against other weak players and easily float their way into GC, while much stronger players end up matching against other much stronger players and have a much more difficult time climbing to GC. You end up with thousands of Uncollected players in GC and tons of Paragons and Valiants stuck unable to climb into GC. Just because of sheer numbers (there are more lower progress players than higher ones) more lower progress players get into GC than higher ones.
This is absurd. I think it is absurd. Most competitive players think this is absurd. Kabam thinks this is absurd. So Kabam stopped doing this absurd thing.
Here's what's simple. Suggest something that will allow more weaker players to rise to the top of a competition than stronger ones, and only idiots will take that suggestion. To be honest, given that Alliance War used to work this way and generated the same horrible results, I question the sanity of the person who thought this would work in BG. But while it took two years for this to be removed from Alliance War, it took much less time to eventually purge this from BG, so there's that.
The point to BG is that it is a competition. The stronger players should do better, not worse. If you're a weaker player, the point is to see how good you are by comparing yourself to everyone, not just the people you can beat, and to get stronger so you can beat more people tomorrow than today. And if that's too much for you, competition is not for you.
Off 10 matches I get to actually play only three
And yes, the ceiling is there.
I'd then add an option to accept or decline screen, to see who you are accepting beforehand: you see your match, see his champs, and then accept or decline. That will save time and nerve.
Closed.
