Thanks for covering this. Totally messed up. I jump in when I can on the forums, but I got tossed for a week with input criticism. They are just purging the forums discussing how bad the game is right now with BGs and inputs
They absolutely are but if community as a whole stays persistent then eventually they will have to come to the conclusion that this problem won't magically go away on its own.
First, I'm a strong advocate that matchmaking should have nothing to do with pi or prestige. We are all fighting for same rewards so anyone in a specific tier should be eligible to fight anyone in the tier if they keep it to where we are all going for same rewards. And no, nothing really changed from last season. What most likely happened for you is that you went from the top of an invisible bracket to the bottom of a higher invisible bracket after doing rankups or level ups or sig or relics. They have invisible brackets that determine a range of opponents you face based on roster strength meaning their current method actually discourages people from doing rankups in fear they will move to higher invisible bracket
where is the form ? feels like shit since they changed that. Worked my ass off in first 2 seasons to upgrade chanmps like crazy and got the gladiator circuit but now.. can't do better than gold for the moment
Sorry, I might have mispronounced but I meant the game forums. There are lots of discussions there on this and we need more voices on the matter so kabam can't continue to ignore this issue
In each of past seasons I had far easier time in matchups after gold as well. Something is way tighter in the bronze and silver tiers for higher players
Bro I have odin, knull, venom and venompool as 5*. But recently got 6* cgr and 5* Hercules. All unawakened except venompool. Whom to prioritise for act 6 and beyond and variant content. Also is BWDO good?
It's been so long since I did variants or act 6 that most of the champs you mentioned weren't in the game yet or hadn't had buff yet. Hard for me to say since I don't think I ever used even one of them in either content you mentioned
My account is only 12k and from the get go first week I was facing 15-16k accounts. Had a really rough time getting out out;silver and gold. Then got to plat1:and only took me 3 matches to get to diamond 3
A higher prestige doesn't necessarily mean a stronger rosters and it's not known exactly what Kabam uses for matchmaking but it is 100% known they use some type of similar roster strength calculation, especially in the lower tiers.
I hate BG match making. You fight opponents who are equal to you. So im stuck fighting thronebreakers while people with 4*s as their top champs compete others with 4*s. Which means those lower accounts have an easier time getting top rewards while it’s harder for us higher accounts who have played longer. It’s dumb that someone whose barely considered UC can get 6*s and high ranking catalysts easily because they fight easy opponents. Anyone in a particular bracket should go against anyone else in that bracket. That way only the top players get the top rewards. It’ll keep the lower lever accounts in bronze and silver while higher accounts can move up higher
Dang, you shoulda let me won, that was like my 8th time being one win away from going to diamond 1. After that I got game time out bug twice for two loses now I'm back to 4 wins away from diamond 1 :( lol, ugh, good match though
