Battle Wars

iSoPoP

A mash-up of Battle Grounds and Alliance Wars...

Both players place 3 defenders from their 40 champ deck on a 3 'tile' map. Each tile has different nodes, maybe based on existing AW nodes, or a mix of AW nodes, BGs nodes and new ideas. Nodes could change each season or each week or each ranked 'Tier' to keep the mode fresh.

Both players pick 3 attackers to fight the 'Battle War' based on the opponent's 3 defenders and nodes. Fastest player to KO all 3 fights wins. Attacker health remaining each fight used as a decider.

Each player can ban 5 of the opponents champs before the match starts. There could also be season wide global bans or 'Tier' specific bans, etc...

Similar health pools and time limit to BGs to keep it fast paced. If you get KO'ed in a fight you can revive (resource dependent), but obviously lose time.

Rewards based on winning a Battle, moving up 'Tiers' and End of Season placement. You only match players in your 'Tier' until you progress to the next 'Tier'.

Happy to hear your thoughts on this 'very' rough idea.

This makes no sense it's not even intelligible enough to comprehend

That's hardly different than BGs as they exist now. Wouldn't be much point in making it another game mode.

Thank you for your comments. BGs is a great game mode at it's core, so I wouldn't want to change it too much, but it does need a change. People are frustrated with it, leaving the game because it hasn't changed in several years and in many people's opinion, is getting worse not better.

In placing your 3 defenders at the start, with different nodes on each battle and fighting each battle consecutively, it offers a different way to strategise and use more of your roster.

The bigger issue in my opinion is the need to rework the ranking structure. The chase to the Gladiator Circuit demands a lot of time and effort, even from good rosters and good players, because they do not have the 'optimal' BGs deck. And 'if' players reach GC, they barely play or stop entirely for the season. This just leaves the game mode stagnant for half a season or more for the majority of players.

Only a tiny fraction of players engage fully in the GC for a whole season. And for all their time, effort, blood, sweat and tears, they are given rewards that barely make it worth while. And I don't want to even mention the Alliance Rewards…

I hope Kabam are looking at the data and can see that something needs to change, as it's still a great PvP game mode and I'd love it to continue and improve.
