How minions works in Bobs Tavern?

Multiplayer Discussion

I would like to ask how this works please:
as you can see, the game where I ended 4th I had no Rivendares, I was tavern 5 on 9th round and ended as 4th on 15th round. The very next game I went mechs again and I ended up first with golden rivendare.
Can any1 explain how these minions works and why I didnt have a single rivendare in shop through 6 rounds on lvl 5 tavern while reroling a.f. ?

edit: I mean how can I post screen shot if its giving me perma erors or that ,you cant include link’’ … imgur . com/a/y6Q1SlK

Its random. That said, if your opponents buy a minion in the shop, you will see less of that minion. You can prevent your opponents from buying certain minions by buying them yourself.

There are only 9 copies of Titus in a lobby at once. A golden version removes three already. Hitting a Titus or any particular tier 5 minion is quite difficult. The second time you played and got a golden copy you got very lucky. Usually a golden tier 5/6 happens because of something that circumvented the normal minion purchasing process.

Is this true for tier 5 I thought it was only true for tier 6?

But if a player does not buy a minion it is recycled and will be available for other players.

But a minion appearing in the first place is entirely random and may not happen all game. I have had games where the first time I saw a particular t3 minion was turn 12 but yet never saw it played by others.

It’s true for all tiers, and there are even fewer copies of T6 units - six copies of each.

Yes. I think people underestimate how many minions total are in each pool. Its’ something like 1000+ so the chance to see any one minion in the shop is smaller than people realize.

Keep in mind if there’s a particular build doing well in a lobby and it requires a key minion like say Titus to become tops later on, players will take those minions and just sit on them.

I’ve played APM Pirate and full on Elemental builds in lobbies with no murlocs and i will take every Queen and Leeroy i see and never play them.

The breakdown is like this
Tier 1: 15 Copies of Each
Tier 2: 15 Copies of Each
Tier 3: 13 Copies Each
Tier 4: 11 Copies Each
Tier 5: 9 Copies Each
Tier 6: 7 Copies Each
