The fact that Kabam hasnβt responded to this thread regarding their most beloved mode says everything we need to know. Battlegrounds is DEAD. Or soon to be. Chase items barely keep it on a life support, and when itβs done and over with SF Doom, the last bell will be tolled.
Pretty much, and happy to see people turning away from it
Name checks out. :P
Dude, if they not gonna change BG I hope it dies... Cuz it is horrible right now, people do not want to spend all day and achieve nothing, too much stress
Without chase pieces BGs is dead. Sad news for the three people who take BGs seriously π π’. Maybe with less players they can stop being hardstuck?
Just made GC. Took my loss to make it official.
9 days left. Arcane 3 at 0 points. This is absolutely embarrassing.
Kabam apparently is ok with just letting the mode die. Good luck selling the OP defenders when no one has a use for them anymore.
I really want to like this mode, since it's the closest we get to pvp fighting, but man does it suck. The nodes, the matchups, etcβ¦.I don't know what the solution is, but to start, maybe remove the loss penalty and just get rid of the nodes all together so it's a straight up fight like in dueling. Then the roster strength is not as much of a handicap and it's more skill based. π
"Mix master" plus the Inorexableβ¦..just why?
Come on now, little leagues is right around the corner. The opportunities they had to expand on it, have multiple events, multiple styles, tons of feedback from the communityβ¦β¦ and crickets for what 2 years now. Peak BGs prob ended somewhere around season 20, just a slow steady decline since.
What fun it really was tho when it was good and champs didn't require hard counters always.
I think removing the loss penalty would help mitigate the damage. At least we wouldn't sink further into a hole webcan't climb out of
Havenβt touched it for a couple of weeks. Donβt miss it. I do agree that not losing shields for a loss might be enough temptation to go back in but not if it stays as is.
I have rewritten about this before, so just going to copy and paste it.
I think Kabam need to review and restructure the pointing system and how players progress.
VT - 1 Token per win fight (not match),
Eg:-
2 - 0, Winner get 2 tokens
2 - 1, Winner get 2 tokens, Loser get 1 token.
By doing this, it give players hope, even when face an account much bigger, because they can still potentially make progress, by focus on winning even just 1 fight, encourage skills and strategy.
Same can be applied to GC, 5 points (average) per fight.
With no deduction of token, players know that they will make progress if they put in the time.
another suggestion worth consideringβ¦. But first Kabam has to acknowledge the problem. They havenβt as of yet. Just status quo, business as usual as the mode crashes and burns. And they will throw another stellar piece at GC in the coming weeks just to essentially rub it in everyoneβs facesβ¦
Brilliant idea that I hope Kabam considers. They've tried their own ideas, whichβjudging by the responses to last and previous seasons---did not go too well with the community. BGs has become way too competitive and the slog that nobody wants to do. So maybe there's hope that they will try this one.
But I know it's going to depend on whether or not they want to see more engagement in BGs.
So we finally managed to boycott something, good lmfao maybe now they'll actually do something about the same stupid meta defenders and attackers every single season. They really thought people would find fighting Serpent and Britain every damn season for years fun? Lol come on now, and the part that pisses me off the most is all they have to do is add black/whitelist and just tune the 40 deck a little more. But nah, **** the most obvious solutions let's just slap saga control and change the scoring system both are way more fun of course π€
π€£π€£ go off!
Seeing the same stacked accounts with the same meta defenders does get exhausting.
I think if they apply AnotherConcernedPlayer's suggestion, that could reshape how a lot of us feel about BGs right now, and give a much better experience.
I played my last match 14 days ago. Still at 16 points. Not even doing objectives, A full 2 week break, Life got simpler.
Im in D3 and not sure if I can be bothered. BG's definitely needs some attention to avoid everyone avoiding it.
Taking a break, Towers are kunda grindy to reach cap anyway.
Yeah no, as soon as this season came out I quit BGs and I donβt think Iβll be coming back for a looooooong time
π β°οΈ
It's only a matter of time before it gets the incursions and back issues treatment
@CaptainTerminatrix do as @SirGamesBond saidβ¦cancel and click to play again.
To me mere 30 seconds max and a fight is created.
Thanks Kabam π₯³
Realized I needed to hit GC and crawled in last night.
One win (16 pts) and Iβm at the top of Gamma 1. Another friend managed to get one extra point (17 pts) and now ranks in Arcane.
Leaderboards show empty for nearly every level below Gamma 2.
Maybe not dead, but clearly on life support.

Played a few matches today cause I thought maybe I can grind all the way up to GC in a couple hours since I do kinda want the radiance however I waited almost two mins for my first match and: dude with five r5s... Not that I mind cause I won anyways but five r5s in Diamond? What the **** lmfao literally every single Paragon and below player has completely given up on the mode, they're done. All because they couldn't add the goddamn whitelists and blacklists people had been asking for for months, instead they went with stupid changes that made the mode worse and super unenjoyable. People are tired of having to **** sweat every single time they play BGs Kabam when will you understand that? Leave that to the bums in Celestial most people don't want to be sweating against the same op defenders with bs nodes over and over again it kills all the fun.
Don't forget Collectives are now live in BG as well. Bad enough the meta was stupidly annoying but now you get to fight players who are close to maxing their collectives making the fight even harder than before. π€¦ββοΈ
It's insane rn Matchups I use to do well I can't even do them anymore, remember Deadpool xforce vs Nickfury? Guess what if they have more collective you are royally fu**ed
I have a big roster and have never not reached Gladiator Circuit since this game mode started and did this season but..I really do not like playing it. I prefer Towers though that is also frustrating to see you having r5 champs that have little challenger rating vs 7r4 ascended champs..
Anyway back to BGS - losing is frustrating (less sow itht he one token losss but still frustrating), metas are very frustrating (first health didnt matter, now you put a mix master weakness that neuters champs so you cant even complete half your fights)..it's like AW on an individual level where you do all the hard path and minis constantly.
Faced someone in vib yesterday with 8 r5s and yet, none of their collectives were above 15.
Wild sale of power going on this week.
