How do they calculate those bonus stars that are awarded next month by the way?

I dont want to be rude but this thread is about rigged matchmaking and not about starbonus or why someone is stuck at d5

[TieGuanYin-31724]

Apologies… Noted. still dont know what getting to legend gets me besides and extra pack… but not bothered enough yet.

this thread is about rigged matchmaking

No it’s not. Matchmaking isn’t rigged, this thread is about things that actually happen

[Blackmarket-21665]

@Blackmarket-21665

For example, the player may be matched with easier opponents, matched with teammates that historically resulted in better match outcomes, and/or placed in a game that is more tailored to the player’s preferences (e.g., players that play in games more closely aligned with their preferences tend to perform better).

If thats not rigging i dont know. Either you are an icognito community manager or the most delusional person on earth. Whats your mission, what you gain from defending Blizzard on this topic when the facts are all written in their patent for all online videogames without limitation

And you still havnt ignored me my little Honeybee

Ps: Thread title reads “if you think matchmaking is rigged” maybe you in the wrong thread or maybe you cant read propper english…oh wait thats me right?

[Scr0tieMcB-1291]

Standard matchmaking by winrate, which is not rigged at all, is literally: players who have been losing may be matched with easier opponents.

You are highlighting a part of the patent which is literally the polar opposite of rigging, and saying that if that isn’t rigging, you don’t know what is.

Then there’s all the patent law ignorance, but that’s very common and boring. I’m just kinda amazed by this other part.

For instance, the microtransaction engine may match a more expert/marquee player with a junior player to encourage the junior player to make game-related purchases of items possessed/used by the marquee player. A junior player may wish to emulate the marquee player by obtaining weapons or other items (cards) used by the marquee player.

And what about this then …you really lost, i think.

Everyone can read it byhimself and than draw his own conclusions. You seem to find for everything a excuse or explanation, so you get paid for thi or you a a hyper fan boy ?

I wasn’t looking for advice

Oh.

Well I can see how that might have been confusing. I mean, that is, I feel, the normal kind of presumptuous.

‘’I can’t make it to Legend, I think the matchmaking might be rigged’’

But that person isn’t looking for advice on how to improve and make it to Legend rank.

This is what happens nowadays for trying to advise weaker player on how to improve, you get blocked.

I think it’s hilarious how upset this individual has gotten because I called their quest murloc shaman bad and for assuming they were also playing it to climb (I’m not allowed to assume they played that deck to climb so why would I be allowed to assume that’s not the deck they are trying to climb with.

Was I toxic here or is this person oversensitive. I want a genuine answer.

@AshlynRose-11817

My lack of getting legend since game launch is more due to having a lack of time for long play sessions to power through past Diamond 5.

That’s not what you said here;

@AshlynRose-11817

First off, thank you for the post; it helps me at least, one who does believe the MMR rigs me to make it impossible after Diamond 5 to hit legend after playing the game all this time.

(I never have hit legend)

[Elchar-11130]

I love how you added some keywords.

In any event this patent covers having a system that uses a variable to track performance, which can be used to match players against players of different skill. Sounds almost like the MMR implementation. I note the word nefarious doesn’t appear in the patent.

This is probably news to you - patents are to protect a company from either 1) having to pay another company for using an idea, or 2) for making another company pay for using an idea. They aren’t licences to secretly victimise your customers.

I would say mistook comment to be an attack, and comment may have been vague enough to sound tactless.

Therefore… more back and forth will just worsen the misunderstanding of a targeted attack. Human nature to defend,

[Elchar-11130]

Yeah wow, I bet that took some work in a spreadsheet. I assume everyone had 0 stars, and you’re just counting win streaks?

So now the sorting effect is below the threshold people would reliably detect it at.

Nice analysis, I greatly admire the effort and it’s disappointing that a room of clueless fools are using the thread to argue about metaphysics.

[Blackmarket-21665]

@Elchar-11130

that a room of clueless fools

I got a 24hrs suspension for less… what kind of behaviour is that.

Giving people names that have a decent conversation in here.

[Elchar-11130]

To maintain balance in the universe, I gave a compliment as well.

[neverlucky-11992]

How do you put a person on ignore? i have been trying to find this feature but i havent found it.

(serious question btw,i really want to know).

[MoonUnit-21100]

Click on their name > View profile and change Normal to Ignored.

[neverlucky-11992]

Ty that seems to work.

But what if a person has hidden their profile,then i dont have the option to ignore?

Nvm i found it. You can do it in your own profile and add names to ignore list.

Yeah, giving tips to people in 2023 are now considered attacks.

People hate hearing the truth.

‘’I don’t think you should be doing A because it’s not very good’’ omg you’re so toxic I’ll mute you!

[Blackmarket-21665]

@Elchar-11130

Twenty characters is

1. Possible true
