BG GC point system.

I’ve been a fan of Battlegrounds since day one, but the current point system in gladiator circuit honestly feels more frustrating than rewarding.

Spending 10–15 minutes in a match just to lose points—or gain nothing—doesn’t respect players’ time. Not everyone is a whale or a sweat grinding all day, and the system heavily punishes average players for that.

A simple fix: make points round-based.

Win a round = +5 points
3 rounds per match = max 15 points

“oh but you didn’t mention about how many points you lose if you lose the round”….NONE. Psychologically, no one likes to lose.

This way, every round matters. Players are rewarded for effort, not just final outcomes. It keeps the game competitive while removing unnecessary frustration.

Right now, losing feels punishing. This change would make playing feel rewarding again—and people would actually want to keep grinding. Reward effort, not just results.
PS: message was polished with AI, but the topic remains original.
I hope yall can take this to some kind of review, and i hope that i am not the only summoner that feels this way. MAKE MCOC GREATER THAN BEFORE!!!!

How does one get 15 points for winning 3 rounds in a best of 3 match?

Also, what would this actually changed? It would just mean that the top players have thousands more points than they have now. The standings wouldn't change because players that win more than they lose would still leave the others behind in the standings. It might make players feel better mentally, but that isn't a worthwhile reason to make the change. Progress will remain the same whether points are lost or

Unfortunately, a system like this would reward quantity of play instead of quality of play. Someone could lose most, or even all of their matches, but as long as they win some rounds along the way and play lots and lots of matches, they would climb in the rankings. That's not a good thing in a competitive mode if the intent is for the best players to have the highest rankings. It just encourages point farming.

Appreciate both of your replies—you make fair points, especially about standings and potential point farming.
I think my main point might’ve come across a bit off, so let me clarify. I’m not trying to make it easier to climb just by playing more—I’m trying to make the system feel more rewarding for the time invested.
Right now, spending 10–15 minutes and walking away with negative progress (especially during losing streaks) feels discouraging. And like I mentioned, every player—no matter how skilled—hits those streaks. That’s where most of the frustration comes from.
The idea behind round-based points isn’t to ignore skill, but to:

Reward effort within matches (not just final outcomes)
Reduce frustration during bad runs
Keep players engaged longer (which benefits both players and Kabam)

Also, expanding rank brackets (like more tiers within Uru/Gamma) with minimum point requirements could help balance progression without inflating the leaderboard too much. For example

Uru 6: Minimum 100 points
Uru 5: Minimum 200 points
Uru 4: Minimum 300 points
and so on…

At the end of the day, my goal isn’t to make climbing easier—it’s to make playing feel worth it, even on a bad day
