I keep calling the Devs bad at coding, which is part of the reason they are not micromanaging how you will lose because it would be an extremely complex thing to code in the game.
It’s just easier to give you a higher MMR if you win so you just lose with a higher probability next time.
If you think that’s not enough: you think you’re both the best player online and omnipotent.
That would be a pretty dumb assumption since even the best player online lowrolls.
Automated responses I think.
Everything’s a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.
Exactly 3 people say conspiracy theory lol wow
Super lazy algorithm or one random goofball with three different accounts lol
The game and you guys are just a meme at this point just stop
Why do you have so much vested interest in a game that you clearly despise and don’t play?
Bold of you to assume rationale and logic would work here.
Nah it’s dumber than that. You just think your are the best player in the world online and if you lose there must be something wrong with other people.
Have you considered you might not be the best player in the world online and you just lose to better players?
Bah! The AUDACITY!!!
Same three butthurt bots. lol.
Projector, it’s you who whines, that the game is supposedly rigged against your superior skill.
How about this conspiracy theory, opponents play better than you.
skill, the ability to do something well. There is not enough control in this game to establish who does something well so that means there’s no skill in the game. The end. Sorry bud. And if you think there is skill in the game, tell me what you control while playing hard stone battlegrounds.
There are times this can happen if a player concedes at a specific point in the process, but you weren’t orginally matched to the ghost you were matched to a live player.
Additionally, when it gets to three players left and you have played the other two in two previous turns, you will play the ghost despite first place because the other two will play each other.
It’s not. It gets really odd sometimes. I had a lobby where I never played two opponents in 14 turns and I won that lobby.
I would really like them to increase the chances you match to a player you haven’t played yet so it’s more fair.
That’s why my post specifically said 1 ghost, as in 7 players 1 ghost, and not the scenario you just laid out where there are only 3 players left…
I’ve never seen that and I watch my matchups very closely for the last year and a half.
It was another lobby where I played the same two players each time I could. Three times in ten turns and never saw two other players.
It happens frequently. Last game was 12 turns and never played the player with Sire.
All I know is that, assuming there are enough players, you will never play the same person within 2 games. This rule is hard coded into the game and if you think you’ve seen it, you haven’t. All of my BG gaming history points to that being true and I’ve never seen a screenshot anywhere that proves otherwise and it seems most everyone agrees that rule is one of the fundamental rules in BG.
That is to say, if there are enough players, you won’t see your fight history saying you fought person A, B then A again if a C exists and isn’t a ghost. It just doesn’t happen man and I think anyone that has played BGs for any significant amount of time is aware of this rule.
If there are 8 players alive, you absolutely never will fight A then B then A. Never.
Screenshot that if it happens and go post to Reddit and you’re either going to get someone to tell you it’s photoshopped or it’s a bug and RidiculousHat will certainly say it’s a bug.
Of all the rules in BGs I know of, that one is the most consistent rule I know of.
Show me a screenshot of that.
This is confirmed in the wiki itself:
https://hearthstone.fandom.com/wiki/Battlegrounds#:~:text=Players%20are%20assigned%20opponents%20for,there%20are%202%20players%20remaining).
Did you math my statement? Because I didn’t violate this in my example. Three times in ten turns is perfectly within the rules for those two players. I saw them each time I was able to see them and didn’t see two other players at all.
No, sorry. It seems I missed the “each time I could” part or this:
So I interpreted this to mean you faced the same two players and only two players. My bad.
Yes, you can face the same 2 players the most you possibly can…as in you face A, B, C, A, B, D, A, B, E, A, B, F, A, B, G, A…that’s totally possible.
Like I said earlier, that has a lot to do with the dropping from top 4 to bottom 4 rule.
So if you are in 1st and the top 2nd and 3rd remain consistent and 4th keeps juggling between the other 4 players, that is likely to happen because of the drop down rule. That’s how you end up seeing those.
I’m not supercuddles here, man, lol, I know how the game works.
I don’t think it’s this, though.
My suspicion, and I don’t have proof, but I suspect it’s related to people grouped together when they join the lobby or it’s a “mixed” mmr tavern where some are much higher than the others (possible from grouped, too).
No idea. I just usually have one or two players I don’t see until late rounds or at all.
