Battle High needs to change/be removed

Imo if you die it should reset your BH back to zero. Would not solve much in the grand scheme, but I do not think losing half is enough when you get caught and end up dying with BH5.

Might that have the unintended side effect of making BH5 players less likely to engage in fights?

I tend to default to anything that increases engagement and rewards/encourages good play. Valence's idea of getting more match points (BH points too maybe?) if you KO a BH5 player is appealing in this regard. BH5 opponents should be primary targets. Reinforce the point with a carrot.

At this point of time, i really don't think it is good idea to revert back to old Battle High
This will only creating un-killable BH5 Gods for casuals
SE updated Battle High to current one for this reason too
Number of veterans becomes the determining factor again
It is not really what people looking for

As players are rewarded for doing well, so too should they be punished for making a big mistake.

BH5 players should know when to go in and when to get out, they have the good player mark so they should be focused down and the enemy team should be rewarded for taking them down.

You don't get to BH5 by being a coward, and if someone sits on their BH5 and doesn't engage for fear of losing it, they're not contributing to their team in any way.

All fair points.

I think what this discussion shows overall is that BH should be retained, if only because of all the interesting suggestions of how it can be used to enhance gameplay and reward effort.

The BH itself is the reward of playing actively well. I also think you should not get BH for assists if you do lower it to 1. This would also help reduce the power of passive damage like dots and stuff.

Edit: If a worry about lack pf fighting add an aggressive decay timer if you don't engage in combat you also lose the BH. Idk
