Please give serious consideration to this suggestion regarding BG

Please give serious consideration to this suggestion regarding Battlegrounds (BG).
In BG mode, players should receive a corresponding reward for completing a match in earnest—even if they lose—rather than having rank progression tied exclusively to winning.
After all, a single match takes around 10 minutes to complete.

I realize some might argue that if players deliberately "throw" matches—queue up only to remain completely idle—they don't deserve to receive any rewards. Kabam needs to implement measures to filter out such behavior and instead offer more substantial rewards to those who genuinely compete in their matches, even if they end up losing; otherwise, there is simply no incentive for players to invest their time in this game mode.

In any case, more often than not, I will only be matched up against opponents with much stronger lineups. With the probability of losing getting higher and higher, why would players still spend time playing this mode?

I stop to read after .…Players should receive rewards even after they lose ...

What?

The solution is to put Summoners in the same BG rank together or Handicap , so lower ranks start with 10k points on a BG fight.

Never a lose match will give rewards

Lol

Thanks Kabam 🥳

Then explain this: why do you still receive a mission reward—the one in the bottom right corner—just for completing a match? Doesn't that mean you get a reward even if you lose?

As things stand, many players are frequently matched against opponents with far superior lineups; consequently, they lose—and after losing repeatedly, they simply lose the desire to play.

Isn't this precisely the dilemma facing BG right now?

Charity reward.

FFS, lets reward losing yay. Go for pizza and ice cream after too...

As much as i appreciate this post. I do feel like you should get prizes for winning and not "half winning" I hate the matchmaking in BGs but getting credit for one win just seems like pity imo. And i don't want pity prizes lol. Other people may have differing options and that is understandable.

Or perhaps you could explain why fewer and fewer people are playing this BG mode nowadays.

However, the current matchmaking system is effectively driving players to detest this mode—making them increasingly reluctant to play it. For players with average skill levels and standard team compositions, isn't the promise of rewards the only incentive keeping them engaged in this mode?

As for the specific nature of the rewards granted to those who put in a serious effort but still end up losing—that is a matter that warrants further, careful consideration.

Because they made the mode boring, dumb and the rewards suck. Not being rewarded for losing is not it

Participation trophies? Lmao, no.

They do need to do something to even the odds in VT at a minimum, but participation trophies ain't it.

American little league mentality, pizza and ice cream after the game. Everyone is happy until they grow up, real world hits them, and then realize losing gets you nothing.

Even if the rewards are increased, as long as the matchmaking issues remain unresolved, a great many people will still be unwilling to participate in this mode—simply because they know full well that playing it would be a complete waste of time, as they wouldn't stand a chance of actually obtaining those rewards.

Tony25

If there are no participation rewards, then this mode is inherently designed for two specific groups: players who spend very little but possess exceptional skill, and "whales"—heavy spenders who have invested significant sums to assemble high-level lineups. For any other players, this mode is completely unnecessary.

Tony25

The biggest issues with this mode right now are:

It is far too time-consuming relative to the meager rewards offered.
The matchmaking system is abysmal; players frequently face opponents with lineups vastly superior to their own—often consecutively.
The constant string of losses completely destroys players' motivation to continue participating—after all, why bother playing when you know full well you stand no chance of winning?

However, players with average skill levels and average lineups constitute the vast majority.

That is exactly what it is…

Tony25

From the very first day this mode was released, players in our community were already discussing it. The consensus was that, at the start of every season, Kabam should simply provide every player with an identical pool of champs—specifically, the same number of champs at the same level. That way, players would have absolutely no grounds or excuses to lay blame on Kabam. However, taking such a step would prevent those players who have spent significant amounts of money from demonstrating their distinct advantage. This is undoubtedly an outcome Kabam wishes to avoid, making it an incredibly difficult balancing act to pull off.

That is the point, you are correct. That is the point lol. Look, i say i don't want pity prizes but if (and it's a big if) they do give some compensation eventually I'm not going to complain LMAOOO. i just think its too farfetched. And imo it'll cause more division amongst the community because people that win at a higher clip may think its not fair for people to get compensated for only one instead of two wins within one battle.

Except there are participation rewards, literally in the solo objectives.

Play 3 matches to get whatever essentia.

Not win, play.

And as the most average player this game has probably ever seen, and self admittedly I know damn well I have a skill issue, I still make GC every season.

In fact, it wasn't until recently I even got my 30th r4, let alone extra r4's to choose from.

And I also spend VERY little.

Rewards are there for those who put the effort in. Nobody said it was easy.

Also, for the solo objectives, you can just as easily play unranked.
