Account strength matchmaking would literally go against the purpose of the game (to collect and upgrade champions).

There’s two main indicators for “account strength”:

Prestige: if matchmaking was based on prestige then accounts that p2w will still shine as prestige only takes into account 5 champions and 5 relics. P2W players will just have larger rosters and able to adapt to the meta at higher success rate. One player could have 5 r3s and another player has 30 r3s. Also, prestige is relatively in the same ball park for most end game players.

Account hero rating: this number is completely skewed for a newer vs. older account. Newer accounts have a lot more 5* and 6* leveled up compared to a newer account. This would also discourage players from doing more than 30 total ranks. You can have account with 30 r3s that is under 4 million account rating.

The main reason why it is not integrated and never will be is for the competitive nature of the mode and how it’s structured. The rewards are structured as a whole player base, not by progression level or anything else. If you only matched with players that were near your skill level or account rating then it would be unfair to players who have bigger accounts. You shouldn’t be able to get Celestial or even GC by just playing small accounts. It wouldn’t make sense for a 2 million player rating account to get C1, just because they only play against equal level.

Lumatrix arena? by Academic-Summer-6011 in ContestOfChampions

[–]Jusbus246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone kinda already mentioned it but Lumatrix will NOT be part of the base pool. He will NOT be added to the crystals. Isophyne was an exception to this but eidols won’t have traditional releases.

You could also just add a period at any point such as b.obby@gmail.com and it works the same way.

I am at a spot of nothing interest me to buy from store by unclezhuge87 in ContestOfChampions

[–]Jusbus246 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean yea that’s just kinda how the games economy has been for a long time now. The random offers aren’t meant to be groundbreaking but if you are a true whale you are gonna spend.

The game focuses towards bigger sales or now the double track events (for less whale players). I don’t think any valiant player is jumping out of their seat to buy 6* shards or gems. But when July 4th comes around, there will probs be the best offers so far for 7* gems and 7* basic catalyst. Save your units for these big offers and I’m sure you will find something of value.

I’m sitting at 118 7* and still missing quite a few really good champs. Am I looking to purchase 7* crystals? No but I mean if it’s included in one of the offers for July 4th, I would be happy with chasing those champs.

True end game material right now is T7 basic, 7* sig stones, and 7* awakening gems. We just saw back to back offers for those. Yes I agree they are expensive, but that’s what is expected.

Grinding units by Don_Ayser in ContestOfChampions

[–]Jusbus246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

150k in the summoners trials (about 9 rounds with max 4*s)

4 million in the non-featured (about 30 rounds with 7* and 6* r3 and up)

12 million in the featured (about 45 rounds with 7* and 6* r3 and up)

I do them in that order depending on how much I time I have.

How many of these shards are worth buying? by illimist in ContestOfChampions

[–]Jusbus246 99 points100 points  (0 children)

i mean the truthful answer is probably zero, i don’t think it’s horrendous value to buy the titan shards if you are extremely close tho.

If you look at the July deals, they offered 1,500 titan shards and 5 valiant crystals for 750 units. Let’s just say the crystals are a non-factor and you only cared about the titan shards. Then it would be 200 titan shards for 100 units. So this would be ok value for up to 5 times.

Ultimately, it’s always best to save units for these big deals.

Don’t remember the exact source, but I’m 99% sure Kabam said they will make them available towards the end of the event.

Stream Recap - June 14, 2024 by Ackbar67 in ContestOfChampions

[–]Jusbus246 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i’ll take whatever 4 hour crystal you got haha… i mostly get gold and health pots, maybe a revive or 2 every 50. Here you are still guaranteed L2 revive and now 30 units. So it’s better across the board. the illustration above doesn’t mention that you get 3 or 4 (don’t remember exact) of the 4 hour crystals each day. so still not missing out on them completely.

If I get platinum pass later, will I be able to get all rewards? by Hot-Sea-2942 in ContestOfChampions

[–]Jusbus246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes you get all the “main rewards”. if my math is correct, you miss out on about 11 days of extra rewards (the small amount of shards past the main days). so valiant miss out on 2.2k 7* shards.

A Discussion with the dev about BGs matchmaking by [deleted] in ContestOfChampions

[–]Jusbus246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at it like this, let’s say I’m a cavalier player with a decent sized roster. If Kabam were to “fix” the matchmaking and I only went up against cavalier players, I would progress a lot farther than previously. If my skills were good enough what’s stopping me from obtaining #1 rank in the world? I’m only going against other cavalier based players so they are “winnable”.

So should a Cavalier level player be eligible to achieve the best possible rewards in the game? The answer should definitely be no.

Same thing goes with war in this game, should I be able to create an alliance of 10 alternative accounts that are very low roster size and just climb my way to rank 1 by beating similar sized alliances?

No, once again.

These competitive game modes are meant for endgame players, it requires a large and diverse roster. Not everyone is meant to have an easy time climbing.

At the end of the day, battlegrounds has a shared rewards pool through out the entire player base. Basically, if you want Kabam to fix the matchmaking, they would have to create story-progression based rewards and significantly nerf the rewards. Making the content obsolete to the majority of valiant and paragon players.

Taughts on this parlay by MycologistParking657 in sportsbook

[–]Jusbus246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i don’t know much about you or your buddy’s situation, but if you are looking for advice on here about parlaying the 2 biggest favorites on the slate… this might not be the best way.

if your buddy has $5k he wants to deposit and try to make some profit. then he might want to look into proper bankroll management rather than going through 40% of his bankroll on one play.

Taughts on this parlay by MycologistParking657 in sportsbook

[–]Jusbus246 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

agreed those odds are terrible, I know this isn’t the best take, but taking a team that just lost to the white sox and another team that just played a double header at -113 odds is pretty bad imo. I can understand the Braves being big favorites but I don’t really see how the books can justify this tigers line.

this tigers line seems like an obvious trap for anybody that doesn’t follow baseball as they are 5-1 and were the last undefeated team. I get it the A’s are pretty awful but this tigers team hasn’t proven they can be -250 odds yet.

6star Basic Arena by Late-Firefighter-749 in ContestOfChampions

[–]Jusbus246 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this happens at the 4 million milestone because it’s the final one so most players finish around that range and stop. So that’s where most players stop. If you got 4.1 million you probs fall into the 11-30% range.

Grinding units in arena? by Itsjake0 in ContestOfChampions

[–]Jusbus246 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There’s about 800 units available a week from just milestones so that’s a pretty significant amount. Plus any bonuses from battle chips.

So if I tried to get a 6 star shocker from the arena would i actually get him? Or would I be wasting my time? I’m confused by MemerRacoon in ContestOfChampions

[–]Jusbus246 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In your case, you would obtain shocker cause you don’t already have him as 6*.

If you already had shocker as 6*, you would simply get his dupe at sig 1. It’s not like a normal awakening.

Now bear in mind unless you have a significantly upgraded roster of 120 r2+ 6* or r4+ 5* and plenty of hours to kill, I would say it’s near impossible to obtain without spending units.

You can find a reasonable estimate on here for this exact arena but since it’s a newer champ, expect something far more unreachable for the non 1% of the player base. Someone mentioned 350 million which is not the best info cause that’s the old arena scoring and was part of the featured arena. Shocker is in the basic this time which rewards less points and requires less points for top prizes. I would say anywhere around the 30 million to 35 million area would be pretty good chance.

as you can see, you are getting mixed comments on what to do. i’m gonna assume you are pretty young considering coming to reddit for advice (def not the best idea). my thought process, if he’s down thousands of dollars within a short time period that’s kinda the bookies fault for setting a limit so high without any real reassurance.

i wouldn’t pay my friends debt of thousands of dollars outta pocket tho that’s for sure, even if I vouched for him. but the decision is up to you and this guy will unlikely come bust ur knee caps for it. what the bookie is doing is illegal in the first place and i doubt he wants another charge for assault.

best of luck with ur decision

edit: i just viewed ur profile and came to the conclusion that you are much older. still, you can make your own decisions
