Id like to know what the actual win rates of a lot of these decks would be without auto concedes and this BS matchmaking system. Probably alot different
Is there a way to see the matchup spread on one of the replay sites? And with this i do not mean the winrates. But the percentage a specific deck gets matched against all the other decks? They must have this data obviously but it has never been published at least i have never seen it.
Publishing this data would settle this issue once and for all.
The matchmaking algorithm is beyond rigged. I was super hard stuck with mech pally, literally an 80 percent match rate against Prestor from D5-D2 (38 matches). I switched to Murloc Shaman, played 9 games to hit legend, didn’t run into a SINGLE Prestor with the Murloc deck. All I needed to see…
so according to you they intentionally matched prestor druids vs you with mech pally but after you swapped they stopped trying to counter you, ye totally rigged! obviously your account is rigged and not allowed to hit legend with mech pally only murloc shaman!!
Bro, I hit Legendary with Murloc Pally twice when Warleader was rotated out. Quest pally back to back seasons, its not about that. The matchmaking algorithm is blatantly rigged and instead of playing your opponents, you end up playing the matchmaking system itself.
Your 6 game sample size is insufficient to draw a conclusion about the matchmaking system.
Here’s 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. That’s all.
If anyone has a statistically relevant body of data of sufficient sample size that might suggest otherwise, they are welcome to post it.
I was bragging earlier that I won like 30 matches and lost 4 with my Q Priest.
Once I hit Diamond 5 I have lost 6 out of 6 and am cranky.
The game “does stuff”.
Even the anti-riggers have to admit the game is doing “something”. Whether it’s a legit MMR match up or the sudden jump from being matched up with scrubs to playing VS pros is like night and day once you hit a floor you cant climb as fast.
When you use the same deck, Q Priest in my case. You see the same opponents over and over. I have played VS warlock primarily, then mage then rogue then druid then shaman. The rest I barely see at all.
TBH I think I have played 1 DH in about 100 games. IDK where they went.
People believe all sorts of things, from divine resurrections to demi gods, ghosts and psychics, telekinesis, chi, alien abductions, ritual sacrificial cults running pizza shops, earth as the centre of the universe. Little green men on Mars. A flat earth.
Ultimately I don’t think it matters what you believe, but if you think it matters I would look more closely at the details.
Well I think people are lazy and risk averse. It’s only 10 mins work, but it is work, and when you realise it’s likely to challenge your view on top of that… Well, lazy.
