I’ve demonstrated it, using HSR on Discord for my friends, many times over. but I cannot post HSR SS’s here.
Get me to trust level 3 and I will repeat the experiment for you, and everyone else, right here.

What sample size was it? If it was less than ~40-50 games it’s VERY sketchy statistics.
Also have you had those thoughts when winning or only when losing?
You can google “upload images”, and upload the screenshots there and post the link here
Just put it in this, otherwise you can’t post the link, neither.
I used three different mage decks. all at diamond 5, and I played 100 matches each with them.
It’s not exhaustive, but it’s convincing, and it’s nothing another player could not do.
In order to do it again, I would have to start over, ( don’t have the SS’s anymore.) but feel free to try the same thing.
I guarantee you will see differences in the matching.
How convenient!
I know I won’t, because I don’t allow my feelings to cloud my judgement.
I’ve checked all the matchup statistics from my tracker and compared them to VS live reports for my rank every day for a week or two and never found a discrepancy
There’s no rigging in matchmaking.

I know why you won’t do it, but I’m going to be polite and not say it here.
And I have demonstrated it for more than one person who posts here.
So you not believing me? Means nothing.
But I’ll tell ya’ what.
Next month when I hit diamond 5, I will repeat the experiment and post what I’m allowed to here.
I cannot post SS’s, so it will require you to actually click on the links and compare them manually.
Do try not to exhaust yourself. You’ve already proven to us all that exertion is something you are allergic to.
What?
???
I don’t know what you had in mind, but I assure you that I won’t repeat your experiment because I know how pointless it is.
First of all, how long did your sessions last? How long did it take to finish 100 games with one deck? How long did the experiment last altogether?
Those are all important variables which play a part in determining the statistics.
Finally, how big was the discrepancy? Whose data did you compare your data with?
Too many questions and a very badly designed experiment is why I won’t repeat it.
Add to that the fact that same people are always in top ranks, which means that skill is still the highest predictor of rank, and the fact that I’ve personally set up and finished a much better experiment and it turned out to be a negative one (no rigging found).
That’s why I won’t repeat your experiment.
Oh, and one more thing. Yes, I do think you’re a doomposter, which I don’t appreciate, and chances are I wouldn’t repeat the experiment even if it was designed flawlessly.
If your goal is to prove that the game sucks, you’re biased. I don’t want biases in my experiments.

you also don’t want data that casts doubt on your assumptions.
You’re boring me.
#ignored
Not that a person who lets their emotions get the better of them every day for 50+ years of life can possibly bring valid data to the discussion.
Let’s remind ourselves how your “data that casts doubt on my assumptions” changed in just 2 minutes:
First you had the data, but couldn’t post it because you’re not trusted level 3. Sucks for us!
Then, when the solution to the above problem was found, suddenly the data don’t exist anymore.
And after a couple of (weird, and uncalled for) innuendos, you’ve shown your true character (not quite a scientific one, mind you):
Not quite what one would expect from a mature person…especially not one claiming to have conducted a valid experiment with data.
If you’re going to doompost, it’s fine by me, as long as you use your emotions and feelings about the game.
But if you’re going to start mentioning “data”, “experiments”, “proofs” and “objectivity”, you better come prepared.
It’s interesting that I asked them twice, if they had those thoughts also when winning or only when losing, and I got no answer in either time.
Well, I’m not sure whom you are referring to, but I answered you.
I played 100 matches each, all at diamond 5, with three different mage decks.
There were noticeable differences in the percentages of class matches, depending on which deck I used.
But you know what? I haven’t done this since the rework in the MMR/Star system, so I think I will repeat it, and see what, if anything, the numbers suggest.
Which could be explained if we knew the answers to the questions I’ve asked above:
Meta changes on a daily basis, at least temporarily. People notice too many warlocks are played one day and then decide to pick a counter to warlock the next day, so when you switch decks after a day or two, you can be sure you’ll have a different matchup spread, it’s only natural.
If you don’t, it means that either the game isn’t balanced properly so 2 decks are overplayed, or you’re too low rank where people don’t adjust to the meta but keep going head through wall.
That’s why my data mean much more to me than anyone else’s data - I tend to have long sessions of 50-100 games in one sitting. I don’t mess around. You don’t get to where I am by playing 3-4 games a day or less (unless you’re Bunnyhoppor). Internal validity of my data is unmatched by almost any human being’s tracker data.
I don’t want to be where you are. I want the fewest games possible.
50 to 100 games in a day literally means you spent the entire day.
Which is why I haven’t repeated the experiment.
And I know it isn’t conclusive due to variables.
But it is highly suggestive at 100 matches.
5-6 hours, give or take
I do play fast decks, mind you
And I play REALLY fast. I hate ropers. I sometimes read a book or watch a TV show while playing, just to prevent tilt from ropers on turn 1. It’s beyond my understanding how people who rope turn 1 can occupy the same rank as me. No matter how much you stare at the cards, Symphony of Sins will not suddenly become a Miracle Salesman.
Still a whole day’s free time. I find that a loss.
Maybe if I was a pro streamer.
Good for you, bro!
You don’t have to. This wasn’t about you. This was about the validity of data.
You went on a tangent telling the forum “how to be like you”. It deserved an answer. I wish to better minimize the time spent rather than increase it given certain parameters of quality gameplay kept at the same time.
Lol, I said “you don’t get to where I am”, and not “how to be like me”. You might have taken only that away, but it’s a mistake on your end.
The more you play, the higher the quality of your gameplay, not lower. If it becomes lower, it’s because you’re exhausted, but if you don’t get exhausted, you’re probably not learning much.
Some things in life require practice. You might read about something, but when you face it in practice, you won’t recognize it as a situation from the book.
By playing, however, you notice the patterns which repeat themselves and start to develop a feeling, or even a theory, about what’s better, and that’s how you learn.
Only when you’ve seen something in practice can you appreciate what you’ve learned about it.
So play more, think and (especially) write less.
No. Nobody is telling you experience does not exist. I’m telling you I don’t want to spent all my day’s free time on a video game without being a professional streamer at least.
