randomness will cancel out

I wish your ignorance would cancel right out of these forums.

Stop misusing terms to try and trigger people.

You dont know what youre talking about.

Probably went to college for an english degree.

As I said to the other person: sciolism is worse than total ignorance. Study the law of large numbers. Given a large-enough sample: then the randomness will cancel out and the higher skilled player will show higher in ranks.

This. Your premise is so far off base and it colors the rest of your opinion. This theory you keep peddling exists in a vacuum and to hold true each player would have to have the same exact collection of cards as well as the same exact amount of time played. For obvious reasons that is not the case.

The top players are players who purchase all of the cards on day 1, follow the meta decks, abuse overtuned cards prior to nerfs, and invest an immense amount of time into playing. Fair play on them but these are not skills.

@Carnivore-2587

The simplest example I can think of is: think of playing a large number of games against a friend of yours who is a bit better even if there is some randomness: they WILL show up higher in score eventually.

Again in this example there are 2 people, with access to the same resources, with the same exact amount of playtime.

@Carnivore-2587

The only true problem here is that if you play very few games then: yes randomness plays a big role (it’s a problem in tournaments because you can’t tell who is 1st or 2nd (truly) if they only play 3 matches).

Wrong. The amount of playtime is a huge factor yes, but that is because of RNG and to flatten out the RNG time played will eventually provide some level of consistency as compared to expected results. This is not a “problem” as you say but a fundamental part of the game design to keep players engaged. Time played is not a skill however, its time played. If I roll a dice over and over more times than someone else I will have more consistent results as compared to statistical probability, but I am not getting more skilled at rolling the dice.

Even if time played and cards are the exact same, RNG is the largest factor by far. If you somehow had equal RNG to go with equal cards and equal time then the skill needed would still be incredible low as play order is very obvious in the current decks.

The skill with this game involves how you play suboptimal draw, which is based on RNG , I dont think you are understanding that.

The irony that the impersonation account tries to troll me, by implying I have Dunning Kruger, in a thread of people that don’t get the basics of the law of large numbers.

Sure guys you will be Legend rank 1 by just randomly playing. Keep believing that I’m not responding anymore.

Its not the flu that you just catch and get. Its an effect from the learning process that people exhibit when thier mouth works more than thier humility.
