You are forgetting a HUGE key part of this “statistic”. You need to list the deck YOU are playing.

Should I also list my skill, and the RND slant? And what about the RND class selected that I’m facing. If you play class X, RND queue seems to favor certain class’s over others for you to face. I play class 1, and see the same names over and over across 50 games or so. I switch to a different class deck, never see them (or rarely) and see all new names for 10-20 games. Switch back to the original deck, and there are the same names as before hours later, and none of the new names encountered with the second deck.

Nah just weird RND months apart.

If I had the belief that by posting the complete list of players faced in a deck last played 19 days ago, and compare them to the names of players currently faced from other decks in the last 7 days, and then switch back to that deck to see how many names never appeared in the last 7 days, until I switched back to the same deck would result in acknowledgement, honesty, admission, and change, I’d do it.

But since none of those things are true, and I wouldn’t be compensated for my effort, there is very little incentive for me to do so.

edit: Yeah no response 4H later. Speaks volumes

I’m still waiting for you to post your deck you are playing. This could be entirely matchup based. I could honestly care less what your rank is. Your playtime in HS or any other factor you think might be or might not be important. Lets see what deck you played with that you lose to a DK that many times with.

Who’s the one player that lost to those various DKs? Could it be that player’s deck?

i like how you went out of your way to avoid the question lol

Can’t give names, that’s a bannable offense for shaming. Much like this question you just asked. It could.

I see no question. Could you point it out? (Hint: Look for something followed by a question mark.) I did see a request, and an assertion that I need to do something, which in this regard, I don’t need to do anything.

Your sample size is too small and therefore approximately meaningless. I went to school for that thing. If your sample size is below 40 it’s more or less worthless and you have multiple times fewer samples than that.

How do you know what my sample size is?

From what I can see at rough calculation; my current decks have faced DK’s 198 times.

I have no way of knowing how many times I’ve faced a DK with decks that have been removed.

I can see I have approximately 2144 wins on record of who knows how many actual games including losses and ties, though I know I’ve lost more than I’ve won. but based on the current decks DK seems to make up about 22-33% of the opponents I face so at minimum my sample size 400 only looking at wins.

edit: and that’s just one acct. (completely forgot)

There are 11 classes, yet DK’s make up 20% of classes faced, why is that? Rather than a rough 9% with equal representation across all classes. Maybe it’s because some classes are stronger than others, and more preferred to be used as they have a higher advantage at winning?

“7 games”. I was answering to your OP.

11

And based on the new sample size?

12

198 is good. I start trusting stats above ~80. Though that’s a stat about your PERSONAL experience (it doesn’t mean anyone else will see the same or even similar (e.g. you might be scared of DKs and lose easier than others etc.)).

13

I believe I have seen roughly the same 20% DK, however I am playing a deck that has a positive win rate against DK so I’ve gone 10-2; keep losing to warlock sadly and going even with Druids.

14

Good point. Though available cards may skew chances of winning vs dk’s more than losing and vice versa

This is the part that bothers me. If all classes had a close to equal viability, then we would see a more even spread across classes used (and likely in turn, faced) but I certainly don’t. sure a 1-3% skew is not unreasonable for things like cards, RND chances, but 11%?

Like if I said, when you cross the street, you have an 11% better chance of making it without being hit by a vehicle if you cross as a DK, would you choose a DK, or something else? Have to have some strong confidence in a deck, cards, play, to use something other than a DK and sacrifice an 11% better chance imo.

We have been over this many times. Sometimes people not play decks that are good, often people are playing decks that are bad. Reno Warrior was overrepresented in the meta even after all the nerfs made it tier 3. Handbuff Paladin was underrepresented even when it was Top deck in the meta.
