I have noticed that if you reach extremely high winrate ( with a lot of games played ) im talking about 75%+ not casual ( 50% winrate) the game starts to give you scripted games only so you lose every second game, for example you will face a warlock rolling turn 5 thaddius every second game or just opponent highrolling every single card so that you can’t get past 75% winrate
My games for today have all been normal meta deck beat it, then next game highroll deck who gets perfect draws every turn )
This will continue happening until u reach top 100ish legend because the game cannot handpick your matchups anymore as theres smaller MMR and player pool in top 100, in low legend and diamond the game can easily handpick your matchups
I’ve won ten in a row; multiple times & I’ve never seen this. The game does NOT hand pick your matchups. It may seem that way because as you win, you are paired against better & better opponents.
You lost a game. That is all that happened. There is no need to invent conspiracy theories, unless that makes you feel better.
That’s exactly why they do it. Confirmation bias doesn’t allow them to just accept bad luck or poor playing.
Someone on these forums kept making these accusations and I volunteered to watch them play. What happened? Immediately he wins 3 games in a row despite proclaiming he always loses to X when he plays Y.
Then he started making excuses as to why he was winning.
Truth of it is, he was a terrible player with absolute terrible deck building skills. I didn’t have the heart to tell him he was awful, I only offered my help. He refused it.
Some people are bad because they are just bad. Everyone wants to think they are great, or better than the average player. I’m not convinced they just come on here to complain because it makes them feel better.
Nope, none of this is true.
Especially from D5 to legend. If you were winning 75% of the time at this rank, you would barely play enough games to notice any pattern before reaching legend.
I’ve noticed the same thing. The system seems to provide the opponent with perfect answers every turn to make sure you lose. This usually stops happening after you drop around 3 to 4 ranks.
Yeah if you’re under star bonus you’ll be matched by mmr.
If you win you’ll be placed with similar opponents until you find people of the same mmr as you. It isn’t a conspiracy but some matchmaker.
Meanwhile during most competitive years climbing legend, you’ll see the average player of the rank you stagnate at.
Everyone is very competitive but the difficulty can warp. The first years you’re starting out, star bonus is the easiest and the first d5-legend was a month long grind ordeal.
Over time it can remain the most compeitive non bonus rank other than e flexing legend rank. The natural odds are supposed to be 50% and its a good chance even at say 52-55% wr. That win margin of 52% to 48% means about every game offers a 4% edge to climb.
Something like even a 66% W 33% loss rate is like a +33% wr edge. The wr might only be 10-15% higher.
But it both means you climb much more consistency overall. Star bonus will always rubberband you to mmr.
D5-Legend is usually the one place it expires unless you’re intentionally pushing extremely high with a top end capable deck in tryhard no screwing around mode lol.
I remember having d5-legend bonus a few times. The appeal of 2x more stars in d5-legend was like 4x more grind than just chilling winning without mmr matchmaking.
And it’s still relatively a higher order. Like you usually either need the best of the best deck to get there and at higher ranks people might be swift to even counterque the meta so if you even try to play one deck well in one session, the other people might start literally counter quing high tier legend counter decks.
Im still a f2p player so i just do legend for the extra dust since when it takes a day now, why not.
When it took weeks though in my earlier years, i used to find d5 more optimal as a sweetspot to grind for time. 90% of rewards, for half the time.
At the end of each month, players are assigned a star multiplier based on their finishing rank. That multiplier can be adjusted up in some cases where a player finishes with a low rank but maintains a very high MMR. That star multiplier allows players to advance through the lower ranks more quickly, moving them up to a rank at which they meet comparable competition to their skill level. The star multiplier decays by 1 at each rank floor (B5, S10, S5, G10, etc) until the player eventually earns only 1 star per win. (Note that the 3 game win streak double-bonus is completely independent of the multiplier feature.)
While you still have a star multiplier, you will be matched against other players based on your MMR. This endeavors to match people with similar skill levels. Once your star multiplier has decayed all the way down to 1, you are matched by your Rank. And when you are in Legend, you are again matched by MMR. Casual mode players are matched by MMR.
The matchmaking system does not look at your deck composition or your win/loss streak or if you are a paying player or if you put on clean underwear this morning. It looks at your MMR and your Rank. That’s all.
If anyone has a statistically relevant body of data of sufficient sample size that might suggest otherwise, they are welcome to post it.
None of what you said is true. I am legend in both wild and standard (don’t play twist), and I can confirm that you are seeing patterns where none exist.
It is true that most players especially during first time legends will hit 50% wr legend impasses. I hit it too when i was starting out my first years.
There’s a little bit of leeway with the low like d4/d3. Even though you need a above 50% wr to climb, there is a bit of chaft inflation from people who play meme decks around d5’s floor when they stop there.
A few decks who were good enough to climb to like d5 on 48% win rates can get there with like maybe winstreaks still allowing people to climb a few % points, then people playing d5 rank floor memes to put a few decks into d4/d3 that probably won’t always climb to legend.
You can either see two potential outcomes.
o A: Blizzard, Known for being unable to code advanced dungeon run ai systems or blizzard bots. Secretly runs a state of the art conspiracy system RIGGED to make you lose
o Or B: Blizzard, known for lazy solutions that worked, just coded a mmr system where people of your same mmr have a averaged 50% chance to win against you. if you win too much, it increases, if you lose too much, it lowers. Like a rubber band.
It eventually does the same thing, but it’s not too complicated.
My experience of hitting Legend for the first time was like hitting a brick wall; I never won another game that season, after thinking I was so clever for having made Legend in my first month.
Then I went nine months without reaching Legend, again.
I think I’ve reached Legend four times in two years.
That’s what is called a regression to the mean. You aren’t supposed to have a 75% win rate, even the best players in the world average out close to a 50%-60% win rate because their opponents are good at the game too. Also I have never seen your name before and I play around top 100-400 legend so you are either making up the last part of your post or you play on a different server and in that case nevermind.
, living in denial. that’s all.
