If matchmaking is rigged...?

I got banned for what I did to your mom last night.

Beastiality is frowned upon, sir.

He got banned, made a topic about the state of the game and what he thinks about the devs.

I also missed it.

Holyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

My day just got instantly better by reading ignored posts.

Thatā€™s a rare one!

I certainly hope it was worth it for Mal. Although, Iā€™m positive it would have felt much, much better if he actually sustained from doomposting every day, because more tension would have built-up by now, and the release would have been much more orgasmic.

I think the word youā€™re looking for is ā€œabstained.ā€

Abstinence is to deliberately and purposefully NOT do something, with context that said activity one has ā€œabstained fromā€ is usually considered pleasurable, perhaps even sexually so, by the person abstaining.

ā€œSustained,ā€ is the exact opposite and means to continue to do something, usually with the context of said thing being done for a very long period of time. It can also mean, in the context of a court room, to uphold or agree with the point being raised, which is why you often hear it from Judges if they agree with an Objection.

Though curiously enough, if you use it as an adverb, it makes total sense. Mal probably would have felt better if he had underwent sustained abstinence from doomposting.

I must have missed this, but isnā€™t he a repeat offender from a recent looooong ban?

Doesnā€™t he do this every day in most threads? What was so fun about this particular one?

Iā€™d tread carefully on asking for deets - I donā€™t know any myself, but if a vindictive mod / unscrupulous alt came sniffing around here, this discussion could be considered ā€œdiscussing moderations / account actionsā€

I read it, and it really wasnt too bad IMO. It was always gonna end in a ban though. He did say he was quitting HS, so time will tell on that one.

Good. I hope he follows through and finds something he likes to do instead of always just bashing everything here.

Yes, thank you! I just donā€™t have the patience to always search for the best word, I do it way too often anyway, so I sometimes settle with what sounds similar to that best word xDD

I found itā€™s much more successful in reaching people who lack in vocabulary but not in associative thinking

And honestly thatā€™s fine. Going overboard with grammar policing can be very harmful as it leads to prescriptivism. However, being a nerd with a myriad vernacular myself, I do find it fun to pass along friendly education :slight_smile:

Itā€™s like I tend to say, K = .5B

Being that way myself, I do appreciate it

Itā€™s just probably not worth it for things like language xD Iā€™ll just keep doing the same mistakes, but in a different way xD

I do appreciate education in things I might find useful and am clearly lacking in, though, if you can make it through my ego defenses to point it to me

Iā€™ve deleted my own posts and seen them removed rather quickly, when they were pretty harmless. Just stuff like completely misreading what someone said then realizing my post was stupid. I donā€™t think that necessarily means a ban. Although who knows?

It must have been a pretty boring day in the first place.

Thanks for the lecture, Professor Nitpick.

Mall will never voluntarily quit this forum.

No problem, Iā€™m here till Thursday :slight_smile:

Iā€™d be easier if they told you their rank in HS is higher than yours. If your first instinct to what you just heard is ā€œbut itā€™s notā€, thatā€™s my point.

And Iā€™d be glad to learn HS from better HS players. Iā€™ve even been sucking up to Qwark and Smeet this expansion, hoping any of them are interested in mentoring someone for free, but to no avail xD

If you get born a few hundred times more youā€™ll never be able to predict what my first thought is, simply because compared to you Iā€™m as normal as a snow in Siberia.

And naturally, Iā€™m far from being normal, which speaks volumes about yourā€¦well, umm, disposition.

Was just trying to help, but OK, sort of supports my point.

Iā€™ve always felt Arena is rigged. Bought entries vs gold entries the decks never feel remotely close in power. Iā€™ve had so many instances where my gold decks get offered horrible cards over and over again. Or times where Iā€™ll never get offered a card over 6mana. Iā€™ve always felt it is because I mean how can you prove itā€™s not?

Iā€™ve been playing since GvG. I have come to the conclusion that the game has become more and more rigged based on the mechanics introduced during itā€™s history. Obvious stepping points were introduction of first zephrys, when game could detect what draw you would need, and deck completion tool, when the game could detect cards in your deck.

You are being obviously tracked and matched based on your purchases, deck you are playing, and the same is being done for your opponent. Every f2p player is basically a bot for the whales. The game even knows what cards to offer you to help you when you need them most. The consistency of absurdly impropable draws that are targeted to save the player that paid more is off the charts.

The devotion of few accounts in here, such as Schyla, Scr0tieMcB, Shuyin, to name a few, that have been figthing against the notion that hs is rigged, which they have been doing for years suggests either they have a lot of time to engage in every discussion regarding this topic, or they are paid to do so by actiblizz.

I saw once Scr0tieMcB mentioned some kind of statistical proof that the game is not rigged, and after that I scoured the web in search of it. I was unable to find it. Scr0tieMcB, I ask you to link such proof. This amount of anecdotal claims from so many players experiencing game bending them over consistently demands explanation supported by math.
