I quit playing Hearthstone a few years ago, now I remember why. Are the game developers just asleep at the wheel? I really enjoy this game to a point. Recently I started playing again, Ive had a blizzard account for eons, since WoW vanilla. How can they not balance the battlegrounds by now? Explain to me out of 8 players why I cannot get a simple tier card no one else is playing, you should not have to cycle the tavern 8 times or more and still not get a playable minion of your chosen warband, especially when no one else is playing it…How can you allow players on turn 3 to have a 30+ health minion? ON TURN 3!!! why are you letting pirates have unending death rattles? Deathrattles need a maximum respawn, not unending. Just can’t believe with all the money this company hauls in that they can’t balance a simple card game. I recently played a game where only two warband were chosen, Pirates and Elementals, this seems to be the two most played over all. Massive health boosts and unending deathrattle spawns need to be adjusted.
I don’t see how it’s rigged based on what you wrote. Well some players are better than you. You will lose eventually no matter what.
And most players misunderstand how true randomness works. E.g. they think coin flips always go heads->tails->heads->tails…
You can’t choose a final warband until it is enabled by the minions you already have. You’re doing battlegrounds wrong
They don’t have to rig it to make you lose. You WILL lose sooner or later. The more you win they just raise the MMR so you lose easier next time and the more you lose they lower the MMR so you win easier next time.
I doubt those people even have the skill to micromanage rigging in the way you imagine anyway because they can’t even fix a game-breaking bug within 1 week and what you imagine is a more complex task.
It’s clear most “it’s rigged!” people have a tendency to think they are the best player in the world online because only the best player in the world online would never easily lose given a high enough MMR.
Do you have any proof that most people think that? I don’t know any game players that think this is how it works. Did you source this from reddit? lol.
yea librams are pretty stupid strong now but theres far worse cards how about muscle drink 1 mana give a minion in yer hand +2/+1 for 1 mana 3 drinks per so for 3 mana u can boost a minion in yer hand +6 +3 and we wont even go into the titans stupid op abilities trust me be glad librams arent as annoying as handbuff pallies or the other things mentioned theres lots of cards that need to be nerfed to death but it wont really matter next expac it will be a whole new fleet of cards that are stupid op and people will forget the other stuff so jus be patient it will only get worse from here hahahaha
as I always say, you talk about many things and you can’t identify the core of the problem, hearthstone is a subtle scam system, there are millions of testimonies even from people who worked for blizzard
Or some players are just better than you. Why is there a “scam” and a “rigged!” other than the software just raising your MMR when you win so the next opponent you get is just better raising the probability for you to lose?
From an account that has 1 post?
I guess I should have used the word pre-determined instead of rigged. Yes, you are going to lose games, duh!!! This game does not require a bunch of skill or brilliance, a noob can jump into battlegrounds and have it figured out after several games… you know when the game loads and you see elementals and pirates everyone is going to play them, they managed to nerf Quilboar right of play. I don’t care about losing a close match, what confuses me is when I see a player have a gold minion with ridiculous high attk and health along with 3 other minions and is tier 3 by turn 4? I’ve seen some questionable gameplay I don’t understand. Can people cheat?
Dude they don’t have to try to make you lose. You WILL lose sooner or later if they raise your MMR after you win. Besides: those people can barely fix a game-breaking bug within 1 week of discovery and you think they have the skill to micro-manage how they will make you lose?
What I think is “sneaky” in terms of their MMR algorithm is that it’s probably WAY overtuned in terms of how quickly it raises your MMR in some cases.
Basically I think it REALLY tries to make you lose after a short win streak in order to drop your win rate closer to ~50% and make you play for more.
Love that you all reported my prior post literally linking to blizzard’s patent on MMR. You all are cute.
Just like in life, when presented with evidence, better report it as misinformation.
I had posted about the patent in the forum before you posted it so don’t assume. It is an indication they do nasty things with the match-maker but it’s not a proof that they actually do it.
I have shifted my opinion that what they actually do might be actually “legitimate” technically but still kinda unethical in a sense.
I mean I suspect that this game shifts the MMR way too fast to make you lose with a higher probability after a win streak,
and the reason for that is to make it so that you play more and closer to a ~50% win rate which I find kinda nasty.
It happens a lot, most things I’ve written here have been removed and I only speak the truth
lol when i hit legend that month i only played 2 other people in legend period everyone else was gold plat diamond rank people
By better you mean worse for players right?
I wasn’t assuming you specifically, we were having a discussion. But others that just lurk are the ones.
