Look, we all know Blizzard sucks. Don’t get me wrong. The issue I have isn’t dissing Blizzard, it’s the lack of logic and reason in their arguments. It’s no different than a witch hunt, and I mean a literal witch hunt.
Having bad character IS NOT PROOF that the person or entity in question is responsible. Being dishonorable does not MOTIVATE them to rig matchmaking. Nor does it explain WHY they rigged matchmaking (in the sense that people claim they are/certain decks are intentionally matched up against their weaker matchups, not their patented “poor players meet rich players”.)
Using logic such as “dishonorable = responsible”, I could say MM is rigged because YOU hacked it and changed it. After all, I’m sure you’ve been rude at least ONCE in your lifetime.
One of the arguments people love to bring up is Blizzard’s tax loopholes. NEWS FLASH: every corporation that has decent stock does this. This DOES NOT explain rigged matchmaking. This does however prove that Blizzard is a money hungry entity. So if anything, Blizzard would want matchmaking that’s diverse in order to promote more decks and thus promote more cards, or in other words random matchmaking.
The most absurd thing I’ve seen so far is that we’re somehow defending Blizzard as an “altruistic company”. It is precisely because they are UNALTRUISTIC and GREEDY that we can infer Blizzard isn’t rigging matchmaking.
Edit: I want to make it clear that while I personally don’t believe Blizzard is rigging the MM, this post is not about that. This post is about the fact that even if they were, none of y’all have any logical reason to believe that. The reasons offered up so far just make it seem less likely, not more.
ALSO, it’s clear people are trying to disprove me by simply stating MM is rigged. So I want to clarify, when I say rigged, what I’m really saying is rigged in the sense of what others on this forum are saying. Thus, unless rigging MM towards players with cards you don’t have CONSISTENTLY FAVORS A CERTAIN PLAYER IN A MATCHUP, then it does not constitute the rigging forums claim Hearthstone has.
So in other words, yes, I agree with y’all that Hearthstone does indeed favor matchups between people who own different amounts of cards. But that’s not the type of rigging people claim Hearthstone has.
