… nice. /20charizards
Yes, it could be that or other things, but thanks, Sherlock. I didn’t really think it was a magical force causing it. I was being sarcastic in the context of the point I was making about software makers being subtly manipulative to their advantage, whenever they can get away with it.
This was also in the context of the ridiculousness of Microsoft being so manipulative, repetitively and historically, but Google is the one being dragged into an anti-trust investigation today.
They ask you every time. They just count on you not reading. If you think this is skeevy, you really don’t want to look at the books for any of the internet giants any big corporation.
Realistically, the only reason Google has been singled out is because they are anti-Trump, but they are definitely up to their elbows in information that their user base probably doesn’t want them to have just like every other browser/social media platform/internet provider.

“Rigged” is such a funny word. It’s rigged in the sense that the opponent you face isn’t completely random but it never was - it was always someone of your approximate level (MMR or rank or wins/losses depending on game mode). Now it’s that and it additionally tries to keep you from facing the players you just faced.

I wonder if squelch will stay active?

It is a funny word, and yet, not incorrect
Since the matchmaking is no longer truly random, then we can actually say it’s rigged
Not that I like or dislike this, I’m just making a comment
It was always “rigged”.
The difference now, is that you do not have to face the same opponent 5 times in a row.
It never was “truly random” in the sense that it always took some things into account when matching people (rank/MMR/wins-losses, server, queue time). Now it takes one more thing into account.

No this is different
Before it picked a random player in a skill range, now it is actively excluding specific players and decks
It was excluding certain skill ranges. Now it’s also excluding duplicate players (not decks as far as I can tell). It’s just another feature that the match-making algorithm considers (along with the existing features) - nothing groundbreaking.

Originally the blog post said player and class and regardless of it now being revised, folks are going to hang on to that until the end of time.

Please provide the quote where Ben Broke is “admitting literally THAT”. I have a feeling that he actually “admitted” nothing of the sort.
