I played to Diamond 5 with Hunter this morning. (IKR? now players can hush about my only playing one class.) and omg it makes Quest Mage look like brain food.
But; I digress: I arrived at Diamond 5 with an 86% win rate and in my climb I was matched against the usual. Quest Warrior, Quest mage, the Auctionhouse Gavel Shaman, (Whatever it’s called.) and of course the mirror deck.
After getting to D5 I was bored and decided to play meme decks.
I mean; might as well, can’t lose tier.
I played a deck that I made myself.
I immediately started getting matched against other meme decks and only faced one meta deck in my entire play session.
The matching in this game is weighted harder than a fat man in a fez on a minibike.
I believe anyone who says differently is either willfully blind,
or hopelessly naive.
Or actually understands how randomness works, and knows that a single sample is meaningless.
I have eight years worth of samples. What have you got?
So give them. Post data, not anecdotes.
I really hope you guys get paid for defending this bs all day long.
I’m not trying to convince or recruit.
I have posted evidence for years. I’m done with trying to sway players.
Please consider investing in my gold mine.
I’m sure you will be filthy rich in no time.
Then what exactly are you trying to do? Vent? Well, enjoy your venting, then.
Let me know if you want to be a millionaire.
(Disclaimer: Gold Mine is very random. Your experience may vary from others.)
Man some of you people are just flat out pathetic. 8500 posts and 8 years on a game that obviously isn’t fun for you anymore, just quit or shut up about it. Blizzard has some of you people just dancing away with your marionette strings.
It is fun for him. He loves proclaiming to the crowd how crooked Hearthstone is. There’s nothing else he’d rather be doing.
Apologies. I must have missed this evidence. If you have no interest in posting it again, could you mention the name of the thread(s) you have posted this evidence in so I can read them for myself?
His original post is plenty of evidence! It clearly proves that
When he played his meme deck, he ONLY faced other meme decks. Except the game he didn’t, but 100% of the time in the other games it was rigged.
You know that Diamond 5 is a place where most people play non meta decks for fun cause they hit their target this month? Encountering non meta decks there is more probable than anywhere else in this game.
My most humble apologies. In twelve games I faced one meta deck at Diamond 5. (with an 86% win rate prior to switching)
Happens every day I’m sure:)
When I force myself to play HS to pass some time, I play only meme decks. And I have to say I do not face anything else than meta decks.
I dont know how matchmaking works in this game because its another mess that seems to work only on tuesdays and saturdays, but lets assume it works also on sundays:
- you play meme on rank floor because you cannot lose progress there - its safe to assume a lot of other players are doing the same. Thus its possible the matchmaking works on that day and it match you against players from the rank floor - thus there is a higher chance to face meme decks
- meme decks arent exactly known for their reliability and high winrate. So after playing several games, you might get close to winrate of other meme decks thus its possible you have even higher chance to face other meme decks
All of that is just assuming the matchmaking works on that certain day ofc
Whatever the matching is, I’ll thank everyone to stop calling it random.
It isn’t, and it never has been.
Well it was stated by devs it isnt random so… I guess nobody is advocating it is. Or?
Plenty of players here have told me that it is random.
They have also told me that it is based on MMR. (elo system)
You are gonna’ tell me that with an 86% win rate that I got matched eleven times with meme decks that also won that much? Even if that is Blizzard’s definition of elo matching, it’s awful, and there is much that isn’t being told imo.
Mind you; and I want to be very clear:
I don’t believe the matching is unfair, as I think it treats every player the same.
But, in eight years of observation I can say I find it impossible to believe the system does not consider deck composition.
Of course it isn’t random; matchmaking tries to match players of similar ranking/MMR to provide fun and challenging matches. But this kind of conspiracy theory–I’m not saying that it would be impossible to fix matches by pairing by deck types, but it would be pretty hard. The effort would be impossible for Blizzard to hide, and what would they get out of it?
As I said earlier; I don’t think the matching is unfair.
I don’t think anyone is being cheated.
I do find it unbelievable that deck composition is not considered.
