Debunking the 50/50 win ratio myth for good

Went to an 11 lose streak … pretty salty right now … i began my play session playing some tavern to do my daily, 2 wins out of 3 games, daily done with some ok results.

Then i tried some constructed, i started with DH … lost, couldn’t pull off a single OTK … even Aggro was not working.

Fine, whatever … what about some Spell Mage …lol, i lost a ton as well, one of the games was against a Priest who mind stealed a Fireball since turn 3 and kept it until the end of the game barely enough to beat me (had lethal myself next turn, only needed to survive at 11 health.) …

Fine, those were 8 loses on a row, ok … let’s go for something weird and hopefully have some luck so i tried Librum Paladin since i thought it would help against DH … lost again, a even faced a Face Hunter who literally won on turn 4 with perfect hand.

So yeah … 11 on a row, please, someone tell me… where is this 50/50 win ratio to help me and keep me happy?

Yeah, though I feel it’s because Blizz is caudling those with money, giving them opportunities to get huge leads in deck recipes compared to F2P players.

Must have been well above the 50% win rate- also, if you deeply fall below 50%, you’re bound to have an astounding win streak. Good luck.

Those 11 losses, aren’t the decks fault. They are yours. You got tilted, and instead of walking away you got desperate, swapped decks and continued down the path. It happens, personally, if i ever lose more than 3 in a row, i take a break. My play only gets worse, i start hoping for lethals instead of planning for them, i quit hand tracking as well, it all spirals.

Not trying to be a huge wang, we have all been through it. Just take a breather next time, swapping decks never helps. Learn one deck to climb with, and play the others in casual to learn their curves and their big swing plays.

Hahaha he’s trying to use himself as an example that rigged matches don’t exist. Then you slammed him further down the lane.
Ouch.

You’re telling us of how many you lost in a row. Before that, what was your win streak? What deck were you playing with and its winrate?

In any case, I had the same thing today happening to me, yesterday I farmed a lot of priests. Today, I saw one out of 30 games and lost probably 60% of my games. Had a 6 loss streak, followed by a 4 win streak, one loss and 3 win streak. so yeah, 50/50 exists. Playing quest mage non minion deck, which isn’t even a tryhard deck, with a whopping 49% winrate. Thanks blizzard.

Well, you lost 11 times, but your 11 opponents each had one win during that same period.
Still 50/50 win rate, when you look at all players.

i’m free to play player and i hit Legend from bronze 10 with 6* multi. in under 10 hours. with around 93% winrate… u dont have to be p2w in order to win. U simply have to use your brain

I got to diamond one on the free deck then made it on my main and the struggle fest began. There is something there not right with the matchmaking for older accounts or something. It legit makes zero sense to struggle harder on my main than I did on an alt with the same deck. I’ve also added multiple people I face and they are legend players when I’m in plat on non win streaks. Explain that to us?

mmr system is bad i made a whole post about it. But if u cant handle the Legend players than u dont deserve legend. If u have easy time vs Legend players i dont see problem. You can check my other topics
https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/hearthstone/t/getting-back-to-hs-and-legend-mmr-problem

That proves our point though. I’m not exactly trying to reach legend, and I have beat some of them. I shouldn’t be facing any of them period till I’m diamond.

u shouldnt face any until you are atleast diamond 2 but to come here and say OH im losign in silver cuz blizzard wants me to stay in silver and i have 50% winrate from like 300 games … THIS IS Bullsit… man … nobody stops you but yourself… again i have above 90% winrate even going for high Legend , probably will drop a little but thats whatever… but i did it without gettign stuck…

I’m losing in plat because of it. I got to diamond really easily on my alt as well. That’s why I started thinking something is seriously up with this games matchmaking. It’s extremely inconsistent.

I have about 5000 wins and I spending real money. Sometimes it happens with me, that I have 15 loss streak.

I just lost to another legend demon hunter after basically removing all his early game. Didn’t matter of course because he top decked everything he needed. I’m gonna take a long break from this game till they figure their game out. I will also not be recommending anything blizzard to people I know. They can’t even get their matchmaking working correctly ontop of all their full fledged RNG. And DH is still brainless, btw. You either faceroll on it or you don’t. Anyone who thinks this game takes massive skill is legit kidding themselves.

And get lucky enough to get cards for classes you’re good at and/or metadecks…not to mention lucky in getting really good draws/discovers (i.e. just faced a Highlander Mage who summoned TWO Reno Jacksons. They also had a Malygos, Aspect of Magic and Evocation, but that’s separate.)

That’s because blizzard matches you against easier players when you lose, just in case your skill is relatively lower than what it was before compared to the rest of the player base. That’s the point of an mmr system in ANY game ever.

Exactly.

Thank you … you play bad and get tilted, so of course you lose. I did stopped because i wasn’t enjoying the game and was getting cranky.

I just found just funny that everyone in this forums keeps telling me that Blizzard should be giving me free wins in order to keep me happy.

It’s interesting how your title implies you’re coming in with some facts or research but all you have is 1 day of only you playing the game.

It’s the pretty much the same amount of “research” most people post regarding the 50/50 win ratio myth on this forums. Nothing but anecdotes.
