Bgs constantly ruined by players who refuse to gear

Riiigghhhtttt you just magically climbed the ratings without gear… And pikaboo is losing games against scrubs. Delusional.

Not even saying gear is first but holy moly it has a way bigger impact than you pretend.

No because it’s well understood they’re not doing high keys without the gear. That’s the point of pve. Get gear and increase your power level. Do you think any of those MDI guys are gonna just slap on some greens to try and win it and prove they’re the most skilled? No because gear matters.

Who cares about the mdi though? This is PvP which should be skill is the ONLY THING THAT MATTERS. That’s not the case.

If this were the case, we’d have many more players 2k+

Lol… You know that’s not how it works right? Because other 2k players have the same gear? It’s % based so the skilled % with gear will beat the unskilled with gear. It’s relative. I’ve said that 100 million times. Holy

The ladder is dead because the meta sucks rn. “Organic meta” and pve items like spore pods, KR 2h sword, and tank trinkets have made a very stale meta.

You wouldn’t have 440 players stuck at 16/1800 if gear were that impactful.

do you think those 440 plus players are all timing high keys like from MDI?

Look I get it for you gear is the most important factor and almost seems like a crutch for you

I am talking about my story how I got there and it was skill 1st
maybe your story is different and for you, gear is your number one help

you admitted as much

But a +22 would be impossible if the group was at 400 item level. The 440+ iL is a requirement for very high keys.

I can’t speak to this thread, as I haven’t done many battlegrounds at max level.

But I did accidentally queue for a BG instead of Korroks last night with my actual gear in the bank, and I did terrible in this gear. So theres that. Not even scaling could save me.

I’m jealous of your gear, I’m grinding for both of those sets at the moment.

If one is using bgs to gear you are doing it wrong. This is my alt and I’m by no stretch of the imagination an elite player.

When I started my journey in arena I did have a crap ton of pve gear called benthic and LFR was ilevel 410 and reached 1900 plus with that gear

So yeah benthic gear and lfr gear carried me :rofl:
