Blizzard Purposely Programs the Odds in Battlegrounds

I find it annoying during Battlegrounds that I choose a Hero that gives mechs +1/+1 but the first round you will never have a Mech to select and purchase. Then you go to round 2 and once again, no matter how many times you refresh you still will have no Mech to select and purchase. My Question to Blizzard is, “Why do you program the odds against people”? Just let the randomness of the game play out.

If you’re certain this is true, why do you pick tribe specific heroes that you know will lose?

Because misery loves to be proven over and over again. Also it is a fun challenge to win with a tribe specific hero and not use that tribe. A beast Win on a Juraxxis, a Naga Win with Patches. All Neutral Win with Queen Wagtoggle. (Im wildly guessing at the Kobold woman’s name.)

It’s just you. The game is actually random for the rest of us, but Blizzard hates you.

It is anecdotal at best to say that. I would believe more if you said “Blizzard gives weight to peoples turns when they lose the game before.” I seriously believe this game is weighted to the favor of people losing to try to balance win rates a bit.

This is deffinitly more true then any other “the game is rigged” claim.
Counting the retards I saw hitting legend, the game cant be rigged against wining.

+1/+1 is nothing. Learn to play the strongest minions offered in the shop. Unless your board is already setup and scaling well you shouldn’t be refreshing shops for specific minions.

Highly suggest you watch some current Battlegrounds strategy videos, or watch high level streamers that talk through their decision making process.

Learn the different leveling curves, when, and how to best use them. How and when to take certain triples, and when to hold them. Learn when to power level.

Playing to a poor hero power is asking to lose. The game isn’t rigged, it’s designed to be challenging. Not just “pick mech hero, buy mechs”.

Mayhaps some of these would make excellent achievements for the mode?

Fun and higher difficulty.

What you’re describing is bad luck. The only “control” in BGs is putting you up against a total of 7 other players and within the same mmr you have, which is still kind of random (I doubt you’re playing against people only within +/- 7 mmr).

I agree with the fact it can be frustrating to roll with a tribe specific hero and rarely/never see that tribe, but Blizzard hasn’t concocted some line of code to stop you from seeing them.

It’s not bad luck lmao, I am stuck at 6.3k at the moment, and every time I’m about to reach 6.5k, I get the worst heroes, no good minions, and lose all my coin flips. I just did the math, in the last 3 games I lost a 1/6, 1/5 and 1/4 that all gave the opponent lethal, and with bobs buddy you can see the odds. In the same game I lost a 1/10, 1/5, 1/6, 1/4 and whenever I won a fight I did the least damage possible, while taking the most every time I lose. You might call it bad luck, but when you constantly defy the odds for a whole week it’s neither bad luck nor me playing bad. When you keep losing a 1% at some point you have to realized it’s rigged, it’s meant to keep you playing to reach that next floor and frustrate you in small ways and force you to buy the season pass to get more hero options lmao. 80% of outcomes not being in my favor when I had better odds, for 50 games in a row is not bad luck. If you think Blizzard-Activision can’t rig their game, just like the casinos do, then you are quite naive.

Dude, this game is WAAAAAAYYYY to big to use THREE games to prove anything like your crazy conspiracy theory. Come back to me with documented proof of a sample size no less than maybe a 1000 tho I’m probably being too fair here.

Until then, keep that to yourself, please.

1000? If I could I would, in the mean time, I didn’t keep it to myself, what now? I just gave an example of my last 3 games, and talked about my last 50 being odds defying, ain’t no way I’m gonna document 1000 games for your enjoyment, not like people like you would admit this game is rigged.
If you flip a coin 10 times and you get 9-1, you’d think the coin is rigged, same here

You’ll never find ground here without a sample size to match the amount of games played a day, let alone a couple hours, with every bit of RNG including hero choice, shop refreshes, battle order etc. I laugh at your three games and say try again, learn what you’re doing right, doing wrong and improve. If you can’t even do that, then I’d suggest taking a break or leaving the game completely.

tl;dr Game isn’t rigged and you have shown zero proof of that not being true. Get better.

There is no need to be rude, I never said I didn’t need to learn or improve. Both can coexist , I can lack skill, and get shafted by a rigged game.
Also the amount of games played a day has no bearing in the luck factor itself. Just because thousands of games get played everyday doesn’t change my odds of winning or losing my own games.

And three games isn’t anything of a foundation for your rigged argument.

If was actually rigged, yes. However, it isn’t, so this is currently impossible until it actually happens.

If you want to debate your position, I suggest getting used to hearing things you don’t like when hearing from the opposition.

Please, show me where I said that? Not a lot of comments on this page so shouldn’t take you long to see you’re making stuff up.

Clearly, you don’t know what debating is or you really can’t take hearing things you don’t like given this reaction.

You’re wrong until you can prove otherwise, which you can’t do, and you won’t have to worry about me because I won’t see anymore of your responses. Welcome to my ignore list. Hope you find happiness in your rigged theories you sad, unhappy person.

First of all, sample size has nothing to do with population size. A sample size of 100 games in which you’re consistently unlucky would be ample evidence. Second of all, it doesn’t really matter whether any of this is rigged or not. Instead of asking after losing 5 game-deciding coin flips in a row “is this rigged or am I unlucky” you should be asking “why am I playing a game where the outcome is so out of my control, do I expect this to start being fun eventually”.

Agreed

I said something like 1000 to make a point you need more than a single digit amount of games, also I figure this guy wouldn’t even bother to provide evidence of 10 games.

Either way, it turned ugly so hit the ignore and moved on
