I’m glad you’re one of the only RU-vid content creators being vocal and speaking out on this then at that no one is talking about the bug where you hold block and your Campion just stands there as if you aren’t doing so
I recently faced a Valiant in Silver 3. I am a cavalier… I’ve wasted so many elder’s marks to face people with decks far greater than mine and I feel so annoyed that there’s nothing I can really do except hope to go against someone my level.
Same it’s sad that my favorite game mode is completely unplayable unless you’re max leveled even at lowest levels. Feels like a chore getting objectives done with it like this
thank you vega for speaking on this, it seems no other content creators recognize or acknowledge this tomfoolery, bgs has been a joke this season. I can only hope this works itself out as kabam thinks it will, otherwise i dont see myself pushing bgs until im way further into the story.
I completely agree. My deck is pimarily r4s with 1 7* r3, and 4 6* r5s, and I’m facing off against rosters with 6 7* r3s in Platinum 2. I can’t progress any further and lose all my matches.
Mad respect for you toning your roster down even if for a little bit. I just hit paragon 2 weeks ago, and my roster still has a long way to go. and I've been fighting some heavy 4m+ rosters on my grind to gold that I cannot even hope to beat. And it's not just the level gap, there's honestly a skill gap there. They know matchups for champions that I'm still trying to find out what they do
Vega I'm currently in URU let me tell you it was a struggle Vega. Couldn't agree with you more. I hope Kabam notices this, because it is unfair man. I kept bumping against whale accounts, legends and those who weren't legends they had major skills 😂
First, whatever you're doing to protect yourself from Silver Sable please tell Sim . 100% agree on the BG comp, great for my account but the seeding bug along with the matchmaking changes are making this season dreadful for a lot of smaller ones. Speaking of comp I feel like the Raids comp was underwhelming to say the least. Many players either used resources including units(which stinks so close to the summer sales) to power through despite the bugs or didn't beat Modok and missed out on rewards. Quietly dropping the comp in the middle of the summer sale week while also sending out promo codes the same day seemed intentional to minimize reactions. Fully covering the entry for one cycle of Raids should've been the absolute minimum comp imo.
I'll be honest the 1000 additional marks rly gave me the mindset to use those marks without worry because there's always 1000 marks as backup, gonna be the 1st ever season I get to circuit with 300k solo points
IMO the compensation should have been way down in the milestones or BG tiers. having it at D1 and V1 meant basically only those who get into GC get that "compensation" - so it wasnt really one.
IMO the 7* shards we got and the Titan shards we got they should be there every bg season because whats the point in playing a mode that doesn't reward even C1 players lol C1 gets 10k Titan shards and 15k 7* shards does kabam really think thats good enough rewards to get C1? Because i believe getting to plat 1 for the 15k 7* shards and 10k Titan shards for getting in to the GC are definitely worth playing the mode but thats my opinion alot of others feel the same way
I pulled Sable from a titan Nexus… yes the Nexus was that bad. I wish you and DLL could do her rebalance. 🙏 She has a very simple and fun kit, she could be so great with some tweaks
@@bruce_bison yes! Mine is sig 40. She melts thing. But so do many others. Also very good on photon. But she’s not going to be used by me until the rebalance. A big shame. But let’s have hope. I’m forgetting about her for 9 months. Is what it is.
Kabams response to this would be “the mode is optional and not for everyone. It’s meant to be hard” they’re such a joke of a company. So lazy and incompetent
I would go with Wolf. I personally R3ed White Tiger ahead of Jugg. Not that Jugg is not worthy but to be honest, R2 Jugg kills everything in 30 sec. Does he need to be R3 right now and shorten the fight by maybe 3 or 4 seconds?
Congrats. In comparison, White Tiger is not the very best of mystic but she is very very good. Her damage is right up there with the best. And man, is she fun to play. I have zero regrets from ranking her up. You are going to love her.
@@Vega583 Yes. To be a defender, she needs her sig. As an attacker, she has all the juice and is ready to go. She is just a blast to play. Also, having a special ready most of the time is a great utility. You can use a special to get yourself out of a jam. One of the better Serpent counters.
@@Vega583 Not as good as Chavez but White Tiger works especially if there is a stun immune node. I used White Tiger for node 50 Serpent a few times and also node 49.
Matchmaking is random because everyone is playing for the same rewards. Lower tier players fighting amongst themselves to get into GC isn’t fair for the valiants with developed rosters
I got sable twice. Then I explored act 8 last night. I got a Che’l and 8.2 was so much easier. Yep got Sable again. Now sig 40. What I hate about how Kabam does things is the developers don’t seem to work as a team. It’s crappy to the community to let Kabam cook with DLL. And it’s WRONG for them, all the designers, to not give constructive feedback. Constructive. Like great kit, great ideas Jim. But she’s undertuned. Let’s make her more practical. More used. My personal opinion: diminishes all the designers. And it’s, simply, very very uncool. So now it’s 9 months to rebalance. Where rebalance needed could have easily been seen. And avoided. I was even ok with her duped. Although arguably makes her worse. Now Sim and I have sig 40. He knows the designers. It’s just not right. They knew she was undertuned, and said yeah go ahead! Conversely they know champs are over tuned and release those willy nilly IMO. But is what it is. I move on. The good news is she has some solid things. But was it that hard to not see a rebalance coming? No. It should have been done, pre-release. No ifs, ands, or buts. And her sp2 has like a 5k crit rating. So her sig, triggers 10 mystic dispersion at basically no value. Or little. DLL is superb at great sig. they are amazing. But here, no one said, he she’s undertuned. And her sig, makes her worse in many fights. Go for it! 😂
@@LarryDiamond-te3yt hey Larry, I do believe the designers do work together and help one another. Sometimes they take a swing and miss. I’m sorry you pulled Sable at all much less 3 times. That sucks bad. But it’s also not DLL or any designer’s fault. They tried and failed. They’ll buff her.
@@Vega583fair enough. But. Here’s why I wrote that. Can’t they test her and see? That’s what boggles my mind. Like an hour of testing on their CCP beta version and go, yep, needs to be tuned up now, not in 9 months? And it takes long. I wish they had a process to speed it up, when they fail like this to use your words. But, like Shuri, can go from zero to hero. At the least in these situations they should be aiming for a very good rebalance given the long time frame. And please, please, please revamp her sig. at minimum passive shocks so no MD trigger, so she’s better not more limited. It’s the how did they not see this coming part that continues to baffle me. I’m assuming they test her 🤷🏻♂️
@@LarryDiamond-te3yt so I very much agree here. Even just reading her kit a player could tell there would be issues using her in today’s game. I’m not privy to how she actually made it into the game but it’s clear she shouldn’t have
@@Vega583 thank you Vega. I appreciate that, greatly. And that’s why I think all the designers should be a bit…well, Uber respectful to the community. And do everything possible to make it right, as soon as management allows them to. They truly should take input from Allison edits, the community, and work together as a team to make it right. Make it right. Have a great 4th! Entire family
vt has been a slog. Normally I hit the objectives and stop, eventually entering the gc by the end of the month. The compensation/deathless piece has motivated me to play more than usual. I am losing a lot, but the practice is making me better and I am two fights away from gc with 2 weeks left.
Hey Vega, having a difficult decision to make, what would you do in my place: Take a 6* Ascended sig 200 Onslaught to R5 or 7* unawakened Bishop to R2?
I mean if ur roster isn’t developed enough to play bgs, go finish up story event, much better use of time and actually good rewards for the progression level. Lower rosters trying to get the seven star shards and Titan shards when they could never get there normally in other seasons anyways just complaining now cause there’s extra rewards
Completely disagree, I got to GC in day 3, I have a very developed roster, but my son, he's new, he came into the game 4 or 5 seasons ago.. he joined the game because of battle grounds, battle grounds has attracted new people like my son.. each season he has got to platinum 1 and even diamond once before being out rostered which I personally deem fair, and I explained to him it's how it works. He's developed his roster using bg rewards.. he's cavalier and got to 6.3 with a good roster of R5 5 stars... This season is a joke for him, used so much energy and elder marks and he's still in silver facing valiants. The funny thing is, even with his roster valiants are still banning his top champs, which is pretty pathetic and embarrassing considering any one of their champs would steam roll his top champs.. but hey ho, the compensation was useless for him and it's put him off
@@JohnnyEssex well that’s the thing, if he progresses in story mode he can build his roster much easier. Look at all the new accounts mcoc RU-vidrs do they always just push straight for act8 completion which makes their account much stronger
@@JohnnyEssex this is the perfect example of my whole point. Anyone arguing “competitive mode” or something like that is missing the point completely. You’re not saying “give him easy match ups”, you’re saying comp his experience a bit since he wasn’t supposed to fight these accounts to begin with, and help him not hate the mode.
@@Vega583 exactly, no one on my son's level from what I've read, is moaning at all or even mentioning the 7 star shards at all, he just wants it back to how it was prior and to stop facing paragons and valiants.. @Dab_east That's not for you to dictate to other people, "do this before doing bgs", it's his game, his experience and that's how he wants to play, and that's play bgs at a some what equal playing field, and have some fairness up to a certain point is completely valid to complain about.. Like I said, bgs has attracted a different kind of player base and we need to respect that and it's our duty as higher level players to aide the newer gen of players..
Vega, the compensation rungs for BGs should have been 7.5k 7* at plat 5 and the other half at diamond 5 cause the trek to Diamond 💎 1 is not easy. Not to mention the BGs oops with all of our S19 starting point has made the climb to diamond 5 was quite long keep in mind I have 20 7* most at R1 only have 1 R2 and the majority of my deck is R4 Ascended 6*s mixed with my R1 7*. As for the Titan portion of the BGs compensation 5k at diamond 1 and the other 5k at vibrainium 3. Just my thoughts on this scuffed but improved medal 🏅 per victory BGs season. I also don't spend so seeing the outrageous rosters to the point it wouldn't matter which 3 I ban cause I'll get steamrolled so I have started to bow out when I see decks of Ascended R5s and multiple R2 and 3 or more R3 7*.
