So i have been playing Heartstone for a while now and i have been seeing a trend (at least in the rank 20 to 10 area where i sit)
When im playing my mill druid deck i will only fight zoo lock or hunters, if i switch to my control priest i will only fight hand-lock or miracle rogue, if i play my zoo warlock i will only fight priest or druid control. Has anyone else experienced this? and yes i do sometimes fight a deck im good against but rarely.
I have 208 ranked matches logged on Hearthstats, across all classes, and I see absolutely no pattern in the opponents I get matched up against based on the class I play. Sounds like selective memory to me.
I would agree, I have about 1k games played and I don't see any sort of pattern, to suggest blizzard is selectively screwing you by matching your class up against another player with a class that has a deck which may be better than yours is ridiculous. If blizzard is selecting you to lose then they are selecting another person to win and it doesn't make sense why blizzard would single you out. In my opinion its just really bad luck or observer bias.

Yes, you are not alone. Same thing happens to me and it makes the game not fun at times.

Our daily conspiracy thread.
Poetic.
seems legit
Quite apart from the fact that this is just observer-expectency, what would be Blizzard's motivation for implementing something like this?
