If matchmaking is rigged...?

Some of those who post use the textbook definition of rigged as you stated, but many use the word to express strong feelings about the fairness of matchmaking.

I mean sure, I prefer to call dogs cats and cats dogs but the reality is dogs are dogs and cats are cats and if the world revolved around my preferences that are wrong weā€™d all be lost.

I have no real interest in being accurate to ramblings.

If you think thereā€™s an all encompassing matchmaker that:

  • Analyzes deck win rates

  • Match decks with counters as appropriate (thus poisoning itā€™s own data)

  • Manages to do that while players go in and out of sessions, change cards, change classes, and still matches everyone in those 10 or so seconds

  • Simultaneously can be beaten by luck (thus further poisoning itā€™s own already poisoned data)

  • Simultaneously can be beaten by skill (more poisoned data)

You just zigzagged between Blizzard being competent, incompetent, competent, and incompetent again, without even touching on the technical aspects of it.

Check history, find who are the people who have logically contradicting worldviews with persecutory undertones, and then come back to reality, where you already do a good job of making yourself look foolish

If a player plays worse than almost all players online, Blizzard canā€™t do much about it; theoretically they could try to match them by waiting more but waiting for multiple minutes is probably worse; and itā€™s not a rare scenario to play worse than most online for a few reasons.

It reminds me of the reverse scenario; a player who goes Legend 1 (or CAN go Legend 1) probably plays better than almost everyone online; Blizzard canā€™t completely prevent them winning >>50%.

Are you seriously claiming that there is some debate as to whether something that is ā€œdeceptive or dishonestā€ is fair or not?

Because that would be absurd.

Why would I take accountability when I can take pills? :eggplant:

And as long as people refuse to accept how little their performance matters in regards to the outcomes

Dang it! Iā€™ve wasted my life

And all the people who are at the top 100 Rank every single month is just pure coincidence. And how some people manage to make it into the master tournaments over and over and over again. Yeah, another coincidence of course.

Great theory you have there.

Itā€™s not absurd at all. They mean cases like you live in a Dictatorship and you go against the dictator with deceptive means.

Not saying Blizzard is doing anything like that though (just talking about it theoretically (thatā€™s what SuperCuddles did)).

And this is how you know itā€™s still ā€œNeverluckyā€, and not some chinese hacker stealing his account

What was the post about (itā€™s deleted)?

Whatever it was, it was so bad that the mods literally removed it and possibly banned him. Even his ā€œpost deleted by authorā€ is gone. Wow.

I wonder if the forum removes automatically the ā€˜deletedā€™.

It does, after a while.

No, it doesnā€™t.

You can search and see posts deleted by author that have been around for ages and never go away.

For example this is 7 months old:

And neverlucky had theirs removed within a day

So much for the narrative that theres no moderation on the weekends, i always miss the juicy stuff sadly.

Between this and the lighting fast action moderation on Mall i better not see any more bs about the mods dont do anything here lol.
