There should be Bg modes restricted to 2, 3, and 4 stars. That would be so fun, and give a reason to rank and play your entire roster.
That’s a great idea
I like that idea honestly. Because people have much more diverse 2-4*s and resources are way easier to get
It would also make it more skill-based instead of the biggest whales with the best rosters
Imagine if you could get unique rewards like exclusive champs, valiant crystals or relic shards from the lower rarities making it easier to target specific relics
But kabam would make less money that way
Also, champions and their mechanisms are now being designed almost solely with battlegrounds in mind.
yeah fr, champs nowadays fel like they need to be insanely fast attackers and also equally challenging defenders. The power creep is real
I have a 1% love for Battlegrounds and a 99% hate for Battlegrounds
A whole 1%? I am like .2% 99.8%
The 1% are the rewards
I hate it when as a cav player I go against a valiant player in silver then yeah I hate it

@@joshpittman2939 Rightttt its so annoying
The simple fact is if BGs didn't debut a while back, the game would be a shell of itself, possibly dead. The mode made the game fun again, it breathed new life into an otherwise boring rerun of the same content.
The game is dead just accept it
@@Xenoforbes11 why am I still playing then, bozo?
@@Lord_Jerkface just because YOU play doesn't mean that the game isn't dead, you clown.
Battlegrounds is great, until you reach a high enough tier and run into death matchup after death matchup
Have you considered getting good?
@@EZ1977brother it’s not just about skill it’s about the deck as well
@@EZ1977 I considered it, but I decided that I didn't want to kiss as much ass as you to get it done s/
Skill issue.. 😂 just kidding. Takes time to build and roster and skills. It took me Years to catch up. But now my roster can stand with the best of them
@@bobjr8391this dude knows what he’s talking about. I play at celestial/mysterium level and it is 100% about the roster, not only factor of course but main
Best thing about BG, as a true free to play player, he is so completely self aware. He passes that knowledge onto the community, regardless if they play the game the same way he does. Really the best MCOC content.
Battlegrounds has definitely been a fun thing
to base my rankups on. The problem which you also mentioned is that if a champ isn’t good enough for a spot in my battlegrounds deck, they’re essentially useless to me. It sucks because there’s a lot of champs who would be good and underrated but get overshadowed due to being too slow, or not good enough on defense, etc.
However the problem goes even further than this, and it’s caused by the new toxic op defenders. Simply put, everyone uses the same 10-15 top meta champs, and it’s made the game mode as a whole incredibly repetitive. Most of the new defenders force you to draft a counter to them, but they also only have a select few counters so that they’ll be more difficult. So because you have to either draft this perfect counter or lose, you end up doing the same fights over and over and over again.
We all draft the same 5 defenders because they’re overtuned and better than other typical defenders, and then draft the same 10-15 counters to those champs because if we don’t it’s an instant loss. The game mode is unbalanced right now, and this select pool of op battlegrounds champs is only furthering the problem of other lesser used champs being overshadowed.
I miss the significance that synergies once held. They used to be the first thing I looked at during deep dives, now they’re not even included.
Fully agree, bgs are changing what people consider a good champion. But it’s always been like this, Kabam gives us a reason to rank up champs. It used to be prestige, than war defenders, now bg defenders, and you can see that in the type of champs they have released recently. It’s hard to ignore bgs recently because Kabam pushes it so hard with having to get deathless pieces or large amount of relevant crystal shards. I try to rank champs I personally like and not always the meta but it’s getting harder and harder to do that. Kabam needs to make bgs less important for account growth and put more effort into event quest, arena, variants, or small Everest type content. I hope some things change at Kabam so we can be reassured about the games future.
I think BGs has kinda ruined people perspective on champs now. Not fast in BGs or top BGs player don’t use them= mid/bad champ.
Like White Tiger for example. If you’ve been in a Brian Grant stream you’ve seen him crush with her but in let’s say a Lags or Andrew stream they will call her mid.
Overall, I love battlegrounds as a game mode, but I hate the way it put these champions in a box. The whole “top 1% mcoc player doesn’t use this champ or they are slow in BGs so they are mid” trend needs to end.
That’s more so just the UA-cam mindset lol. For instance I have an ascended Luke Cage and most people think he’s mid or bad but I’ve crushed every mystic that has come his way. The truth is you don’t have to listen to these tier lists and just rank who you want. They have valuable info but aren’t the Bible lol.
@@jornaspierre5615 this bro! You don’t know how many time I’ve heard “___ said this champ is bad” or “this champ isn’t god tier so I don’t use them” like bro just play the game and rank who you like. I have a ascended jubilee and Ikaris and they are amazing champs. It’s so sad some players will never fully enjoy all the champs this game has to offer
Thats because BGs is the premier game mode in MCOC. Questing is so free nowadays, alliance war has shifted to being all about diversity and the saga nodes, AQ has been passed up for raids, and raids have their own classes to worry about. With R5s and 7 stars also being so widely available, MCOC has reached a point where outside of pvp, everyone is viable.
So if you want modern champ opinions, you're out of luck. Everything is only really discussed within the context of BGs. You cant really take those opinions to heart because you're looking at them outside of their context.
And no offense, but you also have to see it from their POV. They're chasing the top rewards in the top mode. Why would they waste their resources on champs who aren't made for BGs? BGs is a constant arms race. They aren't going to waste their time discussing, ranking, or utilizing champs that aren't going to help them progress, especially when the game is in a state where everyone is useful somewhere.
Yes, others would call White Tiger mid even though she is perfect for event questing with the constant reappearance of the mystic champs who power steal node, but to those players, they have Sasquatch, Kushala, Longshot, Doom, Juggernaut, etc, who outpace White Tiger in every way. To them, she is mid, and thats just a fact from their perspective.
@@FrostDzNz Ya I fully understand that. To me calling a champ mid just feel so misleading and disrespectful, especially about a champion that is really actually good.
Also it’s just very inconsistent. Valk and KP were at the top of everybody’s rosters not too long ago. They can be used in all content including BGs but now they are being called mid. But the same people calling those two champs mid will praise Aegon even tho he is terrible in BGs and not used in like 95% of content. Either hold every champ to the same standard or stop calling them mid. like I said, it just feels very misleading and inconsistent.
@@blackhole5353. Well, Aegon gets the pass because of his unique design. No one considers him through the lens of BG's. I think most top players are pretty consistent with theur ratings. Let's also keep in mind that said players will also base their opinion on their expeirence ie. KT1 said valk and KP is no longer viable in BG's for him even though the meta is great for valk. The question is why is that? And the answer is simple: due to abundance of 7r3 champions in high lvl GC, champions that are not available as 7* get shafted hard (see also doom, abs man, rintrah etc.), but the same champs will be amazing in the lower tiers, where ppl have 1-3 7r3, and you are mostly facing 6r5 an 7r2. All that to say, you should always take the opinion of other players with a grain of salt and that statement was always true.
Adding synergys to battlegrounds would be so cool. It could make so many champs more viable, cable apoc duo for example. It also makes drafting more interesting because you can create a whole team instead of just individual champs
Yes but how would you make this work
@@Lifeofalexp1 just make it a team of champions
Suffering from the same flaw EVERY mobile game has. You complete all the content in the game and it suddenly has nothing for you
I really think kabam could get an easy slam dunk adding in “saga challenges”. Similar to carinas challenges, we could replay old content using only saga champs, or certain star levels or SOMETHING. We could complete them for rewards or they could even add “saga levels” that take us past 60 but gets reset after every saga. Would give use to xp boosts again, and literally playing ANYTHING helps progress. It really feels like sagas could be used to help reinvigorate the game. Great video BG! Really enjoyed this one, defo feel the same way about battlegrounds
“I like to talk about the things I enjoy in life..” you never mentioned cocaine..
Now you’re talking… lol 😂
"Why did i rank up odin" Does it really matter at the end of the day? Its materials for a rank 2 i dont understand why you feel like you have to 100% justify and optimize your rank ups. Love your content been watching before everyone piled on you for the 12.0 hate EDIT I continued to watch the video and got my answer. lol
The legend runs and the itemless Challenges were the best time , miss them 😕
An issue I have for the game is the constant chase
EQ making it so that champs when say cav difficulty dropped - wouldn’t stack up to finish the content.
They increase the difficulty and longevity of play time while not increasing rewards. I Want to walk content if I rank my champs. Not have to constantly rank more and more to make the mark of something potentially 5 years old
I don’t need a second job, I’d be more likely to spend if it were fun. And not a headache or make me wanna throw my phone.
Im not even joking when i say this, i lost by ONE single point in bg.
I like BGs; what I hate is the fact that Kabam keeps pushing it by adding "essential" items into the game mode, like this season with the Vision piece. Many players certainly feel "forced" to do the content.
Not that long ago I was taking a newbie through the game he just unlocked BGS his top character was like a rank 2 4 star or something like that and his first 5/6 matches were against valiants and Paragons with r3 7 stars and maxed out 6’s he practically gave up on the mode entirely
Brian: chooses to basically only play one game mode.
Also Brian: complains about not wanting to rank champions for said game mode.
Brian: complains about a lack of achievement history in game.
Also Brian: ignores 88 titles/profile pics which literally show his progress in game.
Pretty much Abby
I've lost 2 hours yesterday trying to climb in Gladiator Circuit. I have a good roster, but the ammount of P2W, hackers, bugs and RNG just made it completely impossible to climb. After 2 hours, I only lost progress, gain nothing.
The rng system has screwed me over more than i can count. Like, every time I won a bg match, or won twice, the rng is like 'Oh, he's won to many times' and immediately pairs me with a paragon/valiant player. But this is like the one time I've ever reached plat III.
Don't ask how I'm plat three cause idk how I am
Wish we had the difficulty of old act 6 back that had gate lock of either specific rank ups or unit man for paths so you were able to complete it straight away at a cost or work towards a champ
I have the same feeling. I want to rank up Hawkeye because he is fun (and good) but I ended up ranking Bullseye because he is far better for battlegrounds. I don’t like Bullseye nearly as much as Hawkeye. That’s just one of many examples.
I ranked them both! 😅. Love HE too but don’t know what I’m going to use him for… oh well
It could be a matter of perspective. For a sub average player most days, average at best, the rank ups matter to me. They help me clear content such as SoS, war showcase, or story content that would be much harder and frustrating for me. Battle grounds is a good mode for me, I happen to have a larger than average account, it can be frustrating at times, but keeps me coming back to the game. Just a matter of perspective. I enjoy the thoughtfulness of each of your videos.
the issue is BG decks are too large and need to be lowered
I think carina challenges can answer this problem.
They just need to build them right and not just for money grab
I believe the biggest problem is the one you mentioned in the video Brian. The fact that so many people are "afraid" of rank ups different than the usuals has made the experience worse for others and themselves. People that rank up weird champs, like myself, yes they are greeted with positive messages but also with some very negative like you said, this champ isnt fast, waste of resources, etc. In addition, these people saying these stuff dont even seem they have fun, they play the same champs. they all have the same roster and do the same numb thing. Some may like this and look at it from a different perspective from me, but i have to notice how many people that have r6 hercules find him boring now. A semi-solution on this top is that, even if kabam has to fix some things, WE as a community have to start being more open and friendly towards each other. I dont say r6 Sentry, Cap britain or r3 7* Civil warrior like me (my favorite champs), but please do rank up champs you like, this is a game and for many of us reaching high tier in bg is just a personal goal that would make us happy for a bit, but me personally i feel much more content and happy when I beat rounds with Sentry and captain britain than using someone that i just dont like just cause he is good in bgs. To conclude, lets start expressing ourselves through our roster my friends, dont me afraid to rank up weird champs. Any champ can work if we try hard enough and battlegrounds are there just for fun, we dont have to be Celestial tier and even gamma and if we get there we will do it our way, each and everyone's different way.
One of the things I enjoy most about mcoc is that it can be a customizable experience depending on what you want to do. You can be in an alliance going hard in war, or pushing hard for BG, or doing random challenges together for fun. The game has a solid framing and then each player gets to decorate their experience how they would like.
This is a very casual player’s perspective, which is still valid. But most active players are having no trouble finding reason’s to rank up champs. Especially with Sagas and tactics, it’s very fun to rank up champs that otherwise wouldn’t have been ranked up before. But if you aren’t active in an alliance, then sure you’ll only have battlegrounds to look at.
only other content that really requires specific rankups is alliance war, especially in high tiers. Besides that ranking the top champs for bgs means u have all that u need for basically the whole game. In long form content u only really need 1 or 2 specific champs so yea. If ur ranking for anything just rank for bgs
Your itemless run is the best piece of content I’ve ever seen. I loved battlegrounds when they came out but recently took a break and the reason I’m hesitant to come back is I know I can’t catch up in bg’s
BGs is great. For End game players it’s all that’s left essentially. But it really is a case of optimized roster & flawless gameplay or else which can get old quick, especially for non content creators. We need a monthly quest that is literally end game Valiant level. It doesn’t need to be permanent, we need it monthly & it needs to be Hard. Hard enough to take planning and strategy.
I don’t think that ALL of us are focused on Battlegrounds. I think that it’s easy to get to that conclusion with the volume of BG related content in the community. I still love getting new champs… especially 7* that I haven’t had at a competitive level because I get it learn them. Champion how-to related content is still king in my book.
Adjacently, this is my critique of Sagas, that its falling short of meeting alot of the points you touch on
Honestly tell me what the lore was for Xmagica and why certain characters were included in that story.
The same with House of Mirrors; what is the story, why should i care for it?
Sagas feel like a marketing skin to promote specific champs to sell atm.
I get the overarching theme across the game, but to what end?
Think the Deathless chase is great because all the champs we’re collecting build to a big event.
Think Spring of Sorrow is equally an opportunity to bring comic/lore elements to a fight that justify difficulty, but instead its just difficult for the sake of it
Personally, the rewards are very good for someone who’d cap Battlegrounds. I of course am not a huge gamer, but I did do BG for the Megnatron crystals…this season is like the last one I played. Everyone quits to keep playing, immediately! There had been a few seasons where we’d all fight, everytime.
play the video in 2x speed if you want to feel like quick silver
You’d probably set it to 0.5x to be quicksilver
@@SuperwazopAh damn your right, he was quick silver not me
You could say that battlegrounds saved the game by killing it...
By the way, I have the opposite problem w/ my rank 3s. Duped sassy and unduped hulk lol.
I agree but also disagree. Your roster and skill is more than adequate to get to gladiator in BG, so just rank who you want. You say that you also have Angela and Odin for Incursions, but just don't use them. You say you think it would be cool to have a full set of deathless champs ranked up. Then rank them up and take them into Incursions.
I took up Phoenix to r5 the other week to cover 2 objectives against the SOS annihilus. Did it work? No. Do I regret it? Yes. But now I got this cool r5 phoenix sitting around. The other day I took her into Incursions with Professor X and Zemo (Also gave her Odin and Galan treatment) and it's just fun. I already got to max zones, but again, it's all about having fun.
Very much agree with you. I'm also just ranking for battlegrounds. It's feeling like a grind to keep up.
You don’t want to rank for the only mode you enjoy ? You’ve gottttta loosen up with the hoarding. Sheeeeesh.
How do you like talking about the game if you never respond to your comments or super rarely that is?
Masteries is a summoner progression thing, account level is a less important summoner progression thing (that I think should maybe effect things to an extent, they should raise the cap and incorporate some sort of further features). Can't really think of anything else though.
I'm in the minority that's always hated Battlegrounds; my roster wasn't good enough to do well when it started, but now that I have a much better roster, I still can't play because I'm a working dad and don't have time to lock into a 10 minute match where I lose to a single dumb mistake. And the worst part is that the ENTIRE game has shifted to accomodate BG. Questing champs (and quests in general) get no focus anymore, and these new BG defenders are AWFUL to fight for us normies. It's all very alienating, it feels like I can't do anything in MCOC anymore without something pointing to the obnoxious BG sign.
This makes me glad that I'm still progressing through act 6 and not already in the endgame. I'll try not to take for granted the fun of progressing through the game and building my roster from bare bones and figuring out how to beat bosses when i don't have the optimal champs. Today i beat 6.3 iron man with my r4 torch and it's one of the most fun fights I've done
So what I am hearing is that you want another reason to rank up champions in a more useful since. Just a thought but what if there was a badge with every progression level based on how many champs you had ranked up. Example Valiant is required to have 2 rank 3 7*s, put a number next to that progression image for how many rank 3 7*s your account has. With that you can unlock milestones once you get 5, 10 or 15+ and at those milestones give resources for the next progression or a special quest with a trophy champ, badge or other rewards. I am currently paragon with one tier 4 alpha away from being valiant, if I could rank up more 6* to rank 5 to get my missing resources I would. There are probably issues in this that I am not thinking of, also not sure if that would solve this issue. Love your content Brian thanks for putting the conversation out there.
id like for them to bring back legend events or something. theres 0 chase things left for me to do lol
Some sort of battle ground or game in general pass system would be nice. Rewards could be profile pics, titles, small amounts materials, shards could be something to work towards. The pass could last the whole saga season, and just not for logging in, it would be points gained from playing the game.
My alliance mates recently had the existential “conversation”. If we’re not playing alliance events any more , then are we not an alliance anymore?
We’ve played together for many years (8 - 10), so we decided to keep play boring alliance events just for sake of not filing for divorce after all these years.
Not sure how BG’s can or will ever change to be alliance friendly. As for now it sure ain’t.
I think the other issue with ranking is that if you’ve been playing for awhile you kinda have a champ ranked for every scenario. What’s the point of ranking a new champ when you have everything you need. It’s definitely harder to make the game more exciting. Not really the fault of the devs, it’s just the game being mature
Yeah before when i came back i had champs ranked up so highand only needed a couple pf champs at that level and the rest were left behind, now i have to get everyone up to a decent rank to have a chance at winning those close matchups
I rank champions I like to play. Its a game have fun
Preach
I mean the sector 7 is saga exclusive you potentially won’t be able to use Odin regardless but you can still use him on sector 6 that is still 25 rooms
I grinded for that d1 7 star for like 6 hours last night and I opened Hawkeye of the end of it all it was so tragic
Battlegrounds has killed so many good ramp up champions. Literally every champion who isn't meant for battlegrounds is considered as 'mid' or a bad champion just because they can't nuke things in 30 seconds and have been named as 'slow champions'
BGs itself was fun when they didnt add so many ranks to climb, and the rewards felt rewarding.
back when 6*s were at their prime the 6 star shards and the rank up materials felt so good to get even if you dont get what you want.
now its just % based T6CC, underwhelming amounts of T6 and T3 alpha, and 7* shards that the price of make you want to pull your hair out.
and when skill based matchmaking was a thing, people used BGs to not only climb in BGs, but to also grow their accounts faster than ever before. but since kabams really restricting nonsense its been hell to even play the gamemode at lower tier accounts and gives an unrealistic expectation to the much better ones.
If all kabam had done was buff the rewards every 2-3 seasons, and make them feel rewarding for the time spent, the gamemode would be alive. we didnt need any major changes, just bug fixes and UI management.
This gamemode FIXED the economy when it needed fixing. and when it needed fixing AGAIN (right after july 4th deals 2023), it never did. rewards werent buffed accordingly. and better yet we had a competition that ENCOURAGED spending and didnt allow fair play to those with awesome skill sets.
THATS why the gamemode is dead. its the realistic truth that kabam doesnt want to admit.
new pvp type content but instead of rewarding champions that finish fight super fast with no ramp up, it rewards champions that do truly shine by fully ramping up throughout a quest like morningstar or aegon. Imagine a mode where ramp up champions like that could stay ramped up for the entire duration of a season or between quests. it doesn't really even have to be ramp up champions specifically it can be something like a specific utility or different types of damage. There is so much depth to the gameplay of this game and yet most people stick to 1 game mode where only fast and high damaging champions shine alongside with completely busted defenders.
i dont think battlegrounds are bad tho. i just think it has taken over the game for most people on high level and the game needs more variety
the game is just feeling stale and bringing new champions every month that reinforces already established content is not the way to make the game fresh in my opinion. The champions are not the issue. Its the content that's failing to keep up with those champions
The spring of sorrow stuff there doing matters to … I base a lot of champs around that stuff I think the only things that missing is that is no paragon difficulty event quest or valiant gauntlet
Kabam should make Battlegrounds so we can only use "specific" tag champs each season, so we aren't using the same champs over and over and over, just a suggestion
I do agree actually. A lot of content creators currently just look at a new champ and just go "Not good for battlegrounds" and just kind of write them off. You cant even blame them because it currently feels like its the only gamemode that matters. War rewards, AQ, Event quest all have a much lower amount of possible rewards so why rank up champs for that when you can rank up champs for BGs. Personally think that BGs is the most boring content in the game, i love the rewards but basically just play it out of necessity rather than enjoyment.
I used to rank for variants, back when that was the fun new quests kabam made every so often, then I guess they scrapped it… don’t see why they can’t bring it back and cater the rewards to 6* 4 and 5 rank up materials and 7* 1-2 materials, even make it the only way to get 7* awakening gems would be so fun
As someone who's just under Cav, I never play BGs. It's not fun. What I find fun is grinding the story and ranking up characters that I find fun to use and look cool tbh. I don't care what people think about the current meta, I just do what I find is entertaining. Now, when I reach lvl 60 and I've done all the story, will I be in the same mind as this guy, idk. Probably, cuz what's left? I think Kabam should focus on more story based content and really incentivize the rewards for it than focusing on pvp. I didn't get this game for the competition, I got it cuz I love marvel and I want to play as my favorite characters. It's as simple as that.
I agree with the whole idea you mentioned about ranking up champs for 6.2 itemless in that you only did it due to a self imposed challenge. I have been feeling the same way and recently decided to see how many champs I can solo Superior Kang with (hes ny favorite boss to fight) and so I have been ranking a lot of champs that I think are cool so that they are strong enough to reasonably solo him.
I know u have heard this so many times but I believe that now is the best time for a new acc as bg is tilting with the delay and u can relive all the old story quest and older forms of content
I just feel that you sometimes don't enjoy this game... You think far too much how complex this game is and I think that's kinda a mistake. Of course you do as you want, but for example, in my case, I love to rank strongh champs and see what can I do with them, because this game have a lot of content besides BGrounds. I prefer ranking up champs to have fun in any content, and it's pretty obvious that they're very good champions for any content. And that's all, maybe you don't need to think too much... Just maybe....
the disrespect of the All Father is insane .... he's a menace in, out, around or through whatever content. I'd R3 Odin in a heartbeat.
Honestly I started feeling like you just now that I got to Thronebreaker. It does feel like
BG’s are something that is in focus and everything else just seems quite stale. Adding somethunf like PvE raids, Legacy modes or Tournament mode even would make everything feel much more alive.
Hey man, ik it’s not your jam, but it would be really fun to see u trying to push for C5 for 1 season
Bang on! BG focussed defenders and also it's becoming worse with sagas. Every saga is creating chase defenders and paid players just go all out to get em.
Necro was the last other big thing for which you could upgrade chanps
I rank for myself, then try to win at BGs with the champs I love. That’s the challenge I enjoy
While I see your point and agree with parts of it I don’t think the BG champs are that different from the AW champs and just general OP champs everyone ranks up
This is one of the primary reasons I quit the game. Spending so much time and money chasing stars and sig levels on champs that I'm not even super fond of but meta for whatever content is relevant. When the meta changes, that all went for nothing on characters i dont enjoy. BGs amplifies this because of how often metas change.
Bgs also has brought back some old champs like domino sunspot I mean you can use whoever you want it’s just as humans we like to follow the crowd see who c1-3 is using and use them who they rank that’s why I like trappy and you using the ducks and different champs
How about hunting those deathless pieces are made an option in seeking them through playing story quest with certain conditions or champs. Similar to the CCP challenges. Hunting Deathless pieces is a smart one but some players have missed it coz they were not yet paragon and only way to shell 5k per piece for now.
I get that a lot of people enjoy this game mode, I personally don’t. It’s such a long process to wait for a match that’s ~fairly reliant on luck. Roster being one, who is drawn/to choose from. Each pick phase takes time. Waiting in between fights takes time. Having to stare down the opponent in between fights while waiting on the next round. The rewards are amazing which is so disheartening when I truly enjoy monthly EQ & SQ content and challenge content. The trophy tokens are the main rewards and they’re only rewarded on victory milestones every other day and ranking milestones. I wish instead I could play a difficult piece of content over and over again with the same feel/level of rewards. There’s nothing except everest content that can compare to battlegrounds rewards.
I may think it’s crazy when I hear content creators say they enjoy content I hate, but good on them. I don’t enjoy BG or any of the meta stuff because I don’t have champs, skills, or ai in my corner. I feel like I am playing less and less because everything takes a bunch of time to complete.
I really love battlegrounds its my favorite game mode and I've ranked up mainly for it but I 100% agree with everything he is saying i miss how it used to be i miss how hard it was to grow and now if you play for an hour or 2 you have half a 7* I just think its falling a little bit.
Gonna enjoy this one🍿
Me myself I rank for need or want. I r3 dust because she's fun to play for me. I say rank up who you want to. The deathless squad would be amazing to see r2.
They should have like mastery for champions that can give like gold iso or like a pfp
You are screwed if you meet someone in BG with deck of Red Skull, Bullseye, Photon, Kindred, Maestro, The Serpent
That Herc-Onsl vid was such a bad example. The hits you took, in addition to Onsl abilities, applied a bunch of debuffs to you. The hits themselves did very little. The rest of Onsl abilities ticked you down. In the same way Void thicks your health away without a single touch, and much faster than even Onslaught.
And you don't have to rank Juggs, for example even if your main focus is BGs. You can rank anyone. Depending on BG meta, not all my 7r3 are in my deck. Yours don't have to either.
lately im really enjoying bgs, yesterday was the first time i reach vibranium and got a free 7* which is awesome for a f2p
The biggest mistake Kabam did was make story easy. Not saying further acts need to be like pre-nerf act 6, but theres nothing significant about any of the acts 7-8 except for the final chapter boss fights. In Act 6 you rmmbr every boss fight and u rmmbr every struggle getting through them. Kabam have made story braindead easy for no reason. I mean even the fact that they nerfed Act 6 a second time, completely unneccessary one nerf was fine. SO Kabam can solve the BGs rankup issue if they start making actual challenging external content like events and story
I feel the same, I m not a big fan of the grind that s needed for bgs to stay competitive in the game, I think you kinda need to get in an alliance that push aw not at the highest but pretty close, with 5+2 bans and a global pretty started ranking some slept on champs for different fights to get you the perfect matchup, it keeps it interesting for me. I m sure that you maybe dont have the time or desire to try again top aw but you should give it a go 🤗 cheers and happy to see you, still lurking in vids and streams
In my Opinion; one of the biggest reasons the game gets stale is because of content creators. You all are both a gift and a curse…you can simply watch a UA-camrs videos for whatever content you need to complete and bam the content is now easier..secondly, most if not all the UA-camrs are chasing the same champs for their roster. With that, all want the same champs! 1st (Scarlett Witch), 2nd (Blade), 3rd (Corvus Glaive), 4th (Hercules) now its Onslaught…
I stepped away from the game for a few years because I was bored of it. Recently came back and I love battlegrounds but hate the matchmaking right now lol
I just wish Kabam would stop making champs that Ignore masteries. It’s literally hurting the enjoyment of the game.
This mindset is of spending years pouring money/units in to this game😭 us regular folk, this be hard sometimes
It's 50/50 for battlegrounds. I'm not a huge fan of it but also enjoy it from time to time. 😊
Why doesn’t Brian do a new account challenge?
Bg is cool. I don’t rank up champs for it. I do have champs that are solid for any mode in the game, but I rank up champs to clear content or just to max them out.
It sounds like you struggle making decisions for yourself, you need the decision made for you by there being a need for the rank up. As you’re playing for yourself now, just take up the champs you enjoy playing, the byproduct is things will be somewhat easier, but the point is more the enjoyment of the game over strategic rank ups for game modes.
At first I thought it was Hercule lol
Battlegrounds was the best thing added to the game. 7* champs and Relics were the worst thing added to the game and the reason I quit.
if bg is so popular was does kabam have to force people to play the mode?
Honestly I understand what your saying but for me I kinda disagree, for me the 95% of my enjoyment comes from battlegrounds so I’m always trying to make improvement to reach higher ranks.
They should change how it works, is all based on efficiency how fast and easy you can defeat the opponent they should make it based on health primarily not time and make it 3 out of 4 rounds not 2 out of three this way players will have to stretch their rosters and it will make for more variety and use of champions
Y did i rank up angela to get to zone 15? Bg screw it angela dies every time … hercing my way to zone 25… not the best way to use ur words bg
