Anyone else given up on first appearance blade? (Rant)
As title says, basically.
I like collecting the first appearance rainbows when I can (almost none to my name though!) and it’ll suck to not have the stellar forged all first appearance but battlegrounds is so dead to me, especially with the scoring for this season.
I’m elder, by all accounts I have a strong roster and deck so there is absolutely a skill issue for me and I’ll own that but I just hate battlegrounds.
You get to 1 win away and then lose 2 matches in a row and start over again.
You draft a defender and they get the perfect counter next draft.
You invest in your deck instead of champs you want only for the next few months to release multiple champs that warp the meta of a good deck.
With battlegrounds being one of the biggest homes of endgame currency and some chase champion pieces it just consistently feels too bad to get screwed by draft rng or lose progress in victory track. The bad absolutely happens less often than it feels like but still.
Chase champions are the only reason I touch this game mode, it is by far my least favourite part of the game and the direct pvp element makes losing matches feel much worse than in war or single player imo.
Sincerely hope for a change to victory track progression. Battlegrounds will never be my thing but if wins were permanent progress towards gc it would make every other complaint I have with bgs stomach-able enough to complete victory track.
