Telling someone they suck is not gaslighting.
Telling someone they lack the knowledge to understand why they are wrong is not gaslighting.
Arena proves the game is not rigged. If it was so rigged the bots would never get a god draft no matter how many times they retire drafts because bots never spend money and therefor the rigging would never tilt positive towards them. Also those bots that do somehow cheat the system and get a god draft would never queue into real players because again they donât spend money and thus will be paired against other bots. Explain why these bots donât get rigged by the rigging AI.
And it wasnât gaslighting, it was people not understanding the specific language that was used.
It was a general statement rather than a specific attack, and people then had millennial meltdown and started flinging âgaslightingâ around like snowflakes.

The game is not rigged in the way you are suggesting.
Hereâs how it works according to Blizzard:
At the end of each month, players are assigned a star multiplier based on their finishing rank. That multiplier can be adjusted up in some cases where a player finishes with a low rank but maintains a very high MMR. That star multiplier allows players to advance through the lower ranks more quickly, moving them up to a rank at which they meet comparable competition to their skill level. The star multiplier decays by 1 at each rank floor (B5, S10, S5, G10, etc) until the player eventually earns only 1 star per win. (Note that the 3 game win streak double-bonus is completely independent of the multiplier feature.)
While you still have a star multiplier, you will be matched against other players based on your MMR. This endeavors to match people with similar skill levels. Once your star multiplier has decayed all the way down to 1, you are matched by your Rank. And when you are in Legend, you are again matched by MMR. Casual mode players are matched by MMR.
The matchmaking system does not look at your deck composition or your win/loss streak or if you are a paying player or if you put on clean underwear this morning. It looks at your MMR and your Rank. Thatâs all.
If anyone has a statistically relevant body of data of sufficient sample size that might suggest otherwise, they are welcome to post it.
The fact is that you are wrong. Simple. Plain. Obvious.
Gaslighting is not a passing comment in a meaningless game forum, and every time you use it in a context like this you weaken the wordâs impact in situations when it is actually relevant. Itâs disrespectful to people who are actually in abusive relationships for you to just toss it out everytime you disagree with someone elseâs interpretations of the situation.
Calling something that small gaslighting is childish and weak minded. It isnât gaslighting.

Itâs not an opinion that youâre using the word incorrectly.
Maybe when you move out of the basement you will understand.
I hate boomers just as much as the next guy, but I am not one.
This is just you gaslighting yourself that youâre right. We donât disagree, youâre just wrong.
And of course youâre a cat person.
Just like you.

Youâre inability to comprehend does not render something irrational.
Stop trying to gaslight us, person. Itâs not right and you know it.
And this is the end result: lack of real substantive reasons why the patent isnât being used, just a ton of personal attacks and defense of scummy mega corps and outright criminal behavior.
Not really compelling, especially when weighted against the plain wording of the patent. Then the fact they have it renewed through 2035, and of course, everything weâve seen in games up to diablow.
Numerous admissions from their side that itâs being used in hearthstoneâŚjust not THAT way. And while some will insist itâs âMUH COD patentâ note what the company literally stated themselves on this subject (wanted to give the deniers multiple opportunities to come clean about it, but it didnât happen):
âWhile aspects of the invention may be described herein with reference to various game levels or modes, characters, roles, game items, etc. associated with a First-Person-Shooter (FPS) game, it should be appreciated that any such examples are for illustrative purposes only, and are not intended to be limiting. The matchmaking system and method described in detail herein may be used in any genre of multiplayer video game, without limitationâ
And remember, this is from people who claimed to have read and understood the patent. Yet continued to lie and claim it was only for cod.

peopel havent been able to find a reason for them to even use the patent as the tinfoil club members seem to think
is impossible to be matched on a CCG vs decks with cards you dont own without it âŚ
of course they ve been unable to explain why
and i cant tell they are lying about it being applied because so far whenever asked why should believe is being used all they have is
âbecause i say so !â
you should ask to whoever told you its being used to provide a source
youll notice they wont post a single one
Money. This was covered already. I mean, they literally state this IN the patent!
Now that is something the deniers have been pretty consistent on. âThey just canâtâŚOK!â then jump to
or some other ad hominem instead of pointing to something direct from the patent.
Literally what the deniers default to whenever confronted with the plain wording of the patent.
Again, false. Note, for all those paying attention the numerous direct quotes from the patent. Contrasted with the numerous lies from the deniers about the very same.
In fact, as already mentioned, only the destiny 2 community manager stated it wasnât being used in THEIR game during their brief partnership with actiblizz.
Allâs the deniers have is insults and the hope you wonât actually read the patent. Because when you do, and see how it has been employed (especially in diablow), you canât help but see their house of cards come tumbling down.

we know the patent exist but someone told you the patent is being used without proof and you beleived it
you have to learn to ask for sources
but its true the people who keep bringing up the patent when talking about HS been completely unable to explain why is needed to get people matched vs players with better decks something that mmr matchmaking would do anyway over time there is now way to avoid it
and because of this they have no way to explain why would they need to apply it on HS at all
and with sites like VS HSreplay or reddit subs the have all the visibility for the best cards to get for free

Looks like youâre account sharing again
And more lies from the deniers. Because the matchmaking patent and its use has been documented and reported on since itâs filing.
And itâs interesting someone told you the patent isnât being used and you without proof and you believed itâŚyou have to stop being one sided in your âMUH SOURCESâ
from someone who never asks a pro company poster for a source.
False, and now confirmed that you are engaging in willful fraud:
scroll up for the others.
And it looks like you were told the patent wasnât being used without proof (in spite of years of reporting on this very subject by new outlets, etc) and you believed itâŚlooks like you should be less one sided in your âMUH SOURCES.â

i get it
you were told the patent cant be filed if isnt being used on HSâŚ(you keep bringing up it was filed as proof is being used )
no isnt requeriment ⌠google a little and youll cofirm you dont need to be using it to patent it
you are way too willing to believe everything people told you didnt you think " money " isnt reason enough to explain it ?
what do you think is cheaper a mmr /rankiong matchmaking
or a code they would need to update with every card release?
didnt you notice these guys never werer able to explain why do they think they same goal cant be achieved in HS with mmr?
i asked that question several times and nobody been able to answer
And I didnât. What I said was
Whether or not that is or is not a condition that applies to the OP is not something I made any comment on.
Neon is absolutely correct here. Yes, I know Mal is old, I still think âmillennial meltdownâ is appropriate.
Hmm. Reading this does make me wonder if this earlier postâŚ
âŚwas perhaps unwise. In it Iâm pretty much accepting the weaker âpassing commentâ definition of gaslighting, and while I do make a reference to the more nefarious kind of psychological abuse, it was merely a reference and didnât give the subject its full due. I might not have communicated what I mean clearly here.
Unless you can provide direct quotes, admit you are posting false information on the forums.
Unlike the direct quotes from the patent that have been provided, and the numerous examples from recent games like diablow that have made the news.

This is a bad analogy, but it does explain your thinking. The reason itâs bad is that I did NOT say ânot losing to plague DKs is easy for Sludge Warlocks who donât suck.â I said that itâs an even matchup. I think itâs ridiculous to infer from âeven matchupâ that you should win every single game. In contrast it is not ridiculous to infer from your example that bakers who donât suck never burn any loaves of banana bread.
its obvious all you keep repeating âŚas if you were stuck in a loop is "patent patent " and thats it because you werent told more than just the patent exist and without proof you were told its was applied
because if you asked or found any sources to verify what you were told you wouldve posted them by now
instead you are stuck in a loop
