Hello, first off I’m very grateful to have been forced to play three stupid harthstone multiplayer long form games just to unlock the privilege of free speech on the corporaty little blizzard forums… my post is about the battlegrounds, the only reason people play hearthstone as that appears to be where anything remotely close to the word “balance” is located. So, I have noticed that this season, the meta sucks. The algorithms try so hard to intentionally prevent you from finding anything remotely close to your card majority, that you seldom get golden triples, or find anything at all. This season can best be described as a barren wasteland, a desert of wasted opportunity. Also, what is up with the Rat King, I started as mech, and the game knew it, so it intentionally circumvented my 2 cost power that lets me discover a race based card… it wasn’t until round 11 that I finally discovered a mech. And how convenient is it that you’re always just conveniently missing that one card to not die in most matches? Can we say obviously and blatantly fixed matches thanks to monetized algorithms? I can appreciate after 5 years of playing that I as a free player have finally unlocked a new smite emoji … but wow… blizzard you’re a game company, forget your investors and invest in the fun. 
thanks
What do you mean? At what turn were you mech?
I think they mean the Rat King’s hero power started discovering a mech and never got it again until turn 11. Which shouldn’t matter, but I guess they really really wanted to find mechs.
I wants to play as mech, the hero power has a probability of 1-5 to get mech, and I didn’t get mech until turn 11, essentially not having a hero ability all game long, and how convenient, as soon as I got it I just barely lose… always the barely losing with these fixed matches.
Clearly if you can’t find a mech until turn 11, it is not the tribe you should be going for. it’s as simple as that.
If you think you can just force a tribe in BGs then you shouldn’t even be trying to make threads regarding balance. You are not good at the game.
You’re playing BGs wrong and what you said right here is the start of all your problems.
Actually it’s worse than that
He is also convinced that The Algorithm™ successfully read his mind and denied him Mechs on purpose
This is the part that i threw my hands in the air. I was going to explain how to play it better but i read that and the meme was my honest response to that.
Rigging is astrology for gamers
I mean, it’s even worse than that.
Dude thinks the game is rigged and reading his mind and STILL plays.
It’s even worser than that: he is unironically telling a publicly traded corporation to forget its investors.
Lol we could go on forever
The problem with Battlegrounds now is it is so widely unbalanced, that there is only 1-2 viable builds given the Minion types available. So you have 6-8 players all trying to play say Beasts/Undead, because beasts/undead has a 80% win rate given the minion comp and all the rest are at 4%. And since everyone in the game is going for the exact same build, nobody is having fun because nobody can get a build going before getting knocked out.
This isn’t rocket science. Take the example of a minion comp of Quillboar, Pirate, Naga, Dragon, Murloc.
Quillboar has a 83.12% win rate, followed by Murlocs at 11%, and the rest under 3%. What tribe do you think everyone in the game is trying to play?
And who can forget anyone who ever tried talking about something real in blizzard forums immediately had ten paid narrative fixing actors jump on the post and fraudulently flag it pretending to be “the community” but they’re paid actors and work for blizzard anyways…
Where are you getting that number? Is that just top four or are you talking taking first?
While I agree that if you hit everything the quilboars are the best, there are some really salty combos that will come on line faster than endgame quilboars in that lobby.
The algo doesnt need to read minds. It just has to block the most powerfull things.
The algo tries to force you into trash builds all the time. Because it wants the players it disfavors to have at least the illusion of having had a chance,having had a “real” (but extremely weak) build.
But who even really cares tbh.
Hearthstone deck tracker offers a paid supporter feature that gives you the current win percentages based on minion comps, hero choices, etc. As soon as the game starts, it will tell you win percentages based on available minion comp to tell you which tribe to focus on. It tracks millions of games to determine what are the best heros and comps to play if you want Top 4 or First Place. It also runs simulations every battle phase to tell you whether Blizzard battle AI is screwing you or being fair.
Ya, it doesn’t run all of them, it does limited iterations and it gets less accurate the more spawns and DRs you have. In the current meta of spawn after spawn after ridiculous glass cannon spawn, I turn that feature off because it’s not helpful to get tilted when you have a “bad beat.”
Isn’t that also rank specific? What rank are you playingn at?
