Nice how they manipulate the game

I spent money and in-game gold to build a competitive deck for ladder and they changed the rate for drawing Prismatic Lens for the Murloc Paladin. They can deny it if they want, but one win out of 8 games (and that was a struggle) using the Murloc Paladin deck at rank 20 (ridiculous) with 2 Prismatic Lens cards being buried every game, (all 8 games) till the end (I mean right till the end) is bllsht.
So, I then tested that by using mulligan everytime it didn’t come up in the opener to see how many times it would show up. Once in 20 after the mulligan? After replacing all the cards for new ones? That’s nonsense and the math doesn’t compute.
Essentially they nerfed the deck and they owe me a refund. The card draw rng for you and your opponent, much like they do for “Solo” expert when you want to practice with a deck and the innkeeper gets the perfect cards every turn.
MANIPULATION! Game is a joke. They mess with it to much.

Murloc Paladin is actually pretty strong right now against anything that isn’t heavy Control.

Yes, i thought the same but until i saw HSreplay, it’s the second most played deck since the expansion came out after Control Warrior and out of 14k games it has a 60% win rate, 4% more than Quest Shaman and of course 2k more games. well the meta is still fresh in a week or two everything might change. i never saw one tho.

if you cover your computer in tin foil they will not be able to manipulate the card draw with their satellite

Why do people think like this?

Blizzard is not manipulating your card draw to make you lose more, you just chose to play a deck that’s awful without its combo piece and then you lost cause you didn’t draw your 2-of.

yes but manipulate game because for 50% winratio assigns counterdecks as needed

if you play tier1 deck your oponent rotate SAME 3-4 decks… same rank and you switch to other deck and your oponent have ANOTHER 3-4 decks same rotate only counterdecks no RND - matchmaking manipulated

ONLY if you play unique deck your oponent is rnd…

If you don’t like the game, don’t play it then.

  • has good luck, wins a game

  • wins another game due to opponent bad luck
    “Hahahah, what a n00b!”

  • gets bad luck, loses a game
    “Stupid Bli$$ard is manipulating my RNG!”

[citation needed]

What citation is needed? Blizzard said that they try to maintain a 50% win/loss ratio. Since, in Ladder, you’re not tied to one deck, why would be it far fetched that players would have more than one deck to switch out when they’re losing?

I need citation that blizzard quote “manipulate game” end quote.

It’s implied by the 50% win/loss ratio. No one is going to be able to provide you with HARDCORE DATA to suite your citation requirements. Only soft data and experience. If they’re not good enough then don’t worry about it. The game will continue on.

Not implied at all. Any healthy matchmaking system is designed to put you against players of similar skill hence 50% winrate.

It’s only implied if you presupposed that the game is being rigged. In other words, the only people who believe “aiming for a 50% average winrate” means “rigging matches/draw RNG to ensure a 50% average winrate” are people who already believe that Blizzard rigs games, and are grasping at straws for evidence to support this claim.

Well said. Small addendum, if I may. That phenomenon is called “confirmation bias”

Confirmation bias huh. You don’t say. Like that hasn’t been overly used to defend ones positions on a matter. Confirmation bias can be its on confirmation bias.
