I’ve played against far too many hearthstone bots for what seems like forever, and I can only come to one conclusion based on my observations. The bots that hearthstone has added into the game, with names like MauveBadger and OliveRogue, always have a good starting hand. They always have cards to play for the first four or 5 turns…ALWAYS.
I very rarely get a good starting hand. Most of the time game wants to give me all the highest cost cards at the beginning of the game, and when I throw them back it usually gives me at least one of the cards back into my hand and the rest near the top of the deck. Yet, somehow, every bot has a playable starting hand every time. I’m no statician, but I suspect that the odds of perfectly playable hand every time have to be somewhere in the equivilancy of finding life…on the SUN.
If anyone else has any theories or similar experiences I’d like to hear them.
After coming back to the game after a few months and reaching Diamond 5, more than half of my games have been against Mech Rogue bots that cheat and have perfect draw on curve. I lost 40% of my matches yesterday to these cheat bots. Just got destroyed in 5 turns in my last game.
I quit Marvel Snap a while back because of the issue with cheat bots at high ranks and now the cancer has spread to Hearthstone.
Yep just had my account banned because they said I was using bots. I have NEVER used bots and don’t even know how to. I sent a ticket but no response so far. They even said I can’t appeal the decision. I have been playing this game since Beta and every game has been played by me. Is this an algorithm?
Yup, been having that exact same problem. I’ve had the mech rogue decks kill me as early as turn 3 at diamond five. The HS bots are rigged to have great starting hands in order the be more of a challenge.
The worst is playing duels for gold, and you constantly lose to blizz bots with names like FlyingLemur or GreenMonkey that are free from human error and play the same OP decks. Not only that but these bots seem to have incredible rng and always manage to draft a reno and somehow never have duplicates in their decks. I feel it’s cheating the player who risks their gold to play only to have it stolen away by losing to a.i. bots that the company put in there just for that reason. If you are going to try and fool the customer into believing they are not losing gold to bots, then maybe stop capitalizing the first letters of the two randomly generated adjective and noun that the bots are named. Anyway, the quality of the game decreased while the price of everything for it increased so ban me if you want.
The only time you should encounter the Blizzard-generated bots is if there are not enough players at close enough ratings to match you with. Try playing at a different time of day.
In general (not just this game, but any CCG/TCG), if you are consistently drawing bad hands, that’s a sign that you need to reevaluate your deck.
Dude. That sucks. I hope you have some luck getting your account back.
I’m inclined to think it’s one too many idiots, dissatisfied with their losses, decided that you “looked like a bot” and flagged you.
