First i’ll say I love battlegrounds I think it’s a great game mode with lots of potential and i’ll continue to play it.
It has come to my attention that there must be some hidden RNG rules in place when you come in 1st a few times, giving you less likely chance that you will get the cards you need. At first I assumed it was speculation but I’m quite confident there are hidden mechanics.
Now there are 2 sides to this argument. This is so players that spend a lot of time playing come out ahead and eventually climb the leaderboard as long as they know the “basics”. Players that are good but casual will suffer unless they put in the time investment.
I’m not that surprised about the hidden mechanics, but I am quite disappointed with this direction, although it might be inevitable and maybe contributes to players spending more time thus short queues for this mode.
So Bliz rigged BG a free mode now too? Why? Theres no cards to sell here. Bliz cares who wins? Good luck in your next game since nobody keep playing a game they think is rigged.

What evidence have you based this on? Sounds like an argument from final consequence. If you get the cards you need, you get first again and the streak continues, don’t, and you break the streak. The ambiguous ‘come in first a few times’ is like those herbal remedies that say ‘do you ever feel tired?’

Or maybe it’s just that the chances of getting good combos for several games straight is low, and is getting lower the more game you play ?
Bait? This has to be bait, right?
I think you are correct about the hidden mechanics.
When I play on my cell while on the toilet I seem to get triple’s more often than when I play laying down in my bed.
I have also noticed that when I play while driving I usually get an extra higher tier card in my selection than when I am not driving.
I blame 5G.

There is definitely some retard BS going on in BG.
But it’s only due to the INCOMPETENCE of the dev team that can’t develop a balanced matchmaking, and this BS is in the game since DAY ONE !
Another game, another time where I faced #1 player every 3 rounds. I didn’t see 4 other players in the lobby and was at 15 hp on turn 7. Another game where I was forced to be top 8, no matter how I played.
And this kind of retardness happens at 5k or 9k, no matter the account.
The matchmaking in Battlegrounds is weird. It’s definitely not a true round robin, although for that to work all eight players would have to survive the first seven rounds. If you can figure out how the nonrandom stuff works, you should take advantage of it. I’d rather just try to make the best gang of minions I can.
Also, “Another game where I was forced to be top 8, no matter how I played.” is not a good thing to put in a post if you want to be taken seriously. You will always be top 8 in Battlegrounds since there are 8 players.
Did Bliz rig their website too so DH players get priority as well? How about the chinese food you just ordered? Did Bliz rig the driver to be late? What about the 5g reliability on your Phone? Did Bliz pay off At#t so your game would drop?
As much I as I would love to agree with your theory I really doubt it bro. No offense and trust me there are plenty of problems with Battlegrounds.
But sometimes what looks like fault of code is just fault of luck and trust luck isn’t your friend in this game. Most people I play against have god draws and unreal RNG or just the best draws ever. As for me I don’t get to win much, don’t get good draws and general suck due to my unreal bad luck. Like my choices of heroes are normal horrible or choosing AFK Hero and then getting nothing but complete crap cards on turn 3 and being hit for 12 damage in the first two rounds.
So in closing Hearthstone isn’t rigged its just that your luck sucks sometimes and no matter how pissed off you get at this stupid, unbalanced time suck of game we all love playing you need to know one thing . . . in this digital relationship . . . . its YOU and them.
Happy Gaming Everyone!
I love how you just stated this as a fact–“it’s come to my attention that there is hidden RNG.” That’s a pretty big dog move.
I mean, it still doesn’t make any sense, but I respect the moxie. Excellent first post, would read again!
You really shouldn’t be playing BGs while driving. Constructed only, or maybe call of duty mobile.
