How is streamer's using card count software acceptable?

The stuff you mentioned are cheating tools that tells you information YOU SHOULD NOT BE KNOWING and AREN’T GIVEN TO YOU BY DEFAULT. In Hearthstone, the software only KEEPS TRACK of what is given, and doesn’t cheat out unknown information. It’s more like a software that remembers each card the opponent played and your hands in poker.

Actually, yes.

What do you think they actually do during practice rounds?

The main job of the caddy is to know and memorize all of that information so the golfer doesn’t have to worry about it. They have notebooks and files for every fairway and green with a detailed plan that they reference.

You can’t can’t count cards in poker because you only know a few and they are all in play. You can guess at odds, but that’s not the same thing.

You can count cards in black jack, you just can’t use any record keeping device or aid. It’s also why they use several decks in a shoot instead of just one deck for black jack.

This is the fault of mobile phone makers, not blizzard. Blizzard allows mobile users to have them, but android and iphone don’t allow the software permissions. Stop blaming blizzard.

If you are playing on a mobile device you are playing casually anyway, so don’t worry about it.

If the casino said that you could bring card counting software in then it wouldn’t be cheating. If they said that you could and you chose not to then you’re intentionally hobbling yourself. If they said that you could but you couldn’t afford it then you’d have to make the hard choice of whether to spend your money on the card game or not.

Exactly like Hearthstone.

Not really.
If casino lets you bet money against the house with software, that’s okay.
But if casino lets you use software against other players without access to software, that’s not okay.

Btw, a recent study shows the mobile traffic has already become the majority of the internet traffic in 2019, not to mention 2021.

Did I mention gamers? PC gamers have only less than 20% share of the market.

You have equality and equity confused.

Everyone is welcome to bring a deck tracker. This is the rule.

They are not obligated to make accommodation for players that opt not to use them.

Your arguments are not valid - literally saying that if you don’t have something no one else can have it either. That’s ridiculous.

When someone uses best ‘allowed’ sneakers to improve ‘running’ and I cannot have/afford this model (or simply refuse because people should run on barefoot for the greater good) that does not mean they’re cheating or have unfair advantage.
Please stop this, really. Ladder is a competitive game mode and people has their right to use whatever is legal.

Lets all quit feeding the troll. A person that endlessly defends their losing argument is not worth the time or energy.

You did claim it’s comparable to the use of a pen and paper. Now you claim it’s comparable to remembering. This is untrue because with the deck tracker one does not need to use brain power to remember: the tracker does that for them. This is called an advantage, no matter how you slice it.

Let make an analogy. The brain, like a CPU, has limited RAM. This is why we’re so terrible at multitasking. The deck tracker frees up some RAM, allowing for more of it to be focused on the game and not counting cards.

I am bad at computer. I think that makes sense.

I’m more than happy to disagree with your belief, especially given how many times it’s been shown to be both wrong and immaterial. :blush:

I’m unsure how many times my beliefs have been shown to be wrong. You can feel they’re immaterial, that’s fine. I’m also unsure why you decided to respond in such a snarky manner, but okay.

Maybe it was something you said… hmmm.

Yes, it is… but it’s not an unfair advantage because everyone can use them without repercussions unless they choose not to use one for any of several reasons.

It is more accurate to say that people who don’t use a tracker are undermining their own success because it is an allowed and supported add on.

In other words, it is unfair to use a deck tracker versus someone who isn’t or cannot (for whatever reason). And I suppose this is where we disagree upon the definition of unfair. You can Google that.

Is It unfair people are using netdecks, skipping all the deck construction phase to get the best synergies while i choose to homebrew my way up in the ladder?

What If i can’t acess a website that would give me Said netdecks?

Seriously people. Using a legal resource that automates pen and paper is not even comparable to cheating, get over yourself.

They did, but cause of it own software rules, they can’t use it. Not the company fault who did everything they can.

Don’t use that for reason. It’s bad taste.

WILL NOT

everyone is able to use a deck tracker under the rules of HS. If you CHOOSE to play in such a way that you don’t have one, you have made a CHOICE not to use one.

This is absolutely fair because players can choose to play with a tracker or choose not to play.

You are literally saying we should all run barefoot if one kid doesn’t want to go through to steps to put on shoes.

Get over yourself.

Then you should be mad at Google for stopping it.

Because you started arguing to me against things I’ve already agreed with. I’ve already said it’s an advantage.

You say it’s cheating. That’s blatantly and demonstrably wrong.

You’re clearly arguing just to argue.

Where did I say it was cheating?

Can’t use it on a cell phone.
