Not only does this game bring the best out of people (btw: always accept a friend request from a face hunter you just won against) but it also helps you progress towards acute paranoia. It’s a wonderful achievement, blizz can be proud.
True, true - I'm usually accepting those request just for fun and to get a feel of the opponent's salty tears :) Last one wished me to "die of Covid"...
Almost every time, this card seems to hit the same target if there's two targets. Almost everytime! Has anybody else noticed this? Either the card is bugged or I am just realllyyyy unlucky.
Pretty sure this is still buggy. I had 4 targets and it still only hit one. I just played another game, and it is to the point that I can predict that it will only hit one target. There is probably a bug in the code in the selection of targets that biases it to a single target.

Did you read the actual test done by SinAscendant? The numbers simply do not support your claim. Do a real, statistically-meaningful test and you'll see that the effect is, in fact, random.

I think most people here really know the effects are actually random - it's just human nature to want to believe that the odds are stacked against you somehow.

I am not by any way imaginable gonna participate in this discussion, just stating one thing. What you are referring to is just a forum post. I could make a claim and then post random numbers to support it. I mean, it's not hard to fake (or corrupt) a literal scientific study, so even these you should always read open - minded, and here we just have a forum post of someone who might or might have not done, what he is saying he's done and might or might have not got the results he claims.
I mean, I really don't want to choose side in this discussion and I am not saying I don't believe this dude. Probably he did and probably he got the results he posted. I am just saying that his post is not worth more than OP and proves literally nothing.

Just be critical towards what you read. Peace.
Yes, obviously, in theory he could be lying (though for what purpose, I have no clue). Just as, in theory, OP could be working for a rival of Blizzard, trying to badmouth the game. We can play this game of questioning each other's integrity all day. (Why are you REALLY posting? Who do you work for?) To have any reasonable discussion, you have to choose to believe that people posting here are telling the truth, as they understand it. Otherwise, you end up like some of the lunatics on this site, seeing conspiracies behind every bit of bad luck they experience in HS. I believe OP THINKS that DM is rigged/ bugged. Which is why he should do as I said: conduct an actual statistical test to see if he's correct. SinAcendent did that, and even offered to make the replays available. That's evidence, certainly better than OP or his supporters have offered. And if one assumes basic honesty on his part, it's very strong evidence. So, in point of fact, it IS more valuable than OP's post (again, given the necessary assumption that people are telling the truth).
If, on the other hand, you choose to believe that some people here are deliberately lying and others are not, then obviously proof of any kind is impossible. You could record yourself playing 10,000 games, meticulously collect the data, and demonstrate that it's random, and someone else will say "You're secretly on Blizzard's payroll and those games were rigged to cover up the company's lies." We've got wack-jobs on this site demanding that the federal government investigate whether matchmaking is rigged. If it did so (and it shouldn't) and found nothing, I guarantee you these same people will say "Blizzard paid the government off! It's still rigged!" When you're convinced everyone who disagrees with you is fundamentally dishonest, there's no way to be convinced otherwise.
Once I had like 5 enemy minions, only one got hit thrice. I started counting how much were the odds - very shady stuff.
It's not so unlikely that it'll never show up.
Out of 5 minions, you've got a "hit anything" then "hit again" then "hit again" and that's 1/1 * 1/5 * 1/5. So 1/25 or 4%. I don't know who onhere has ever played Dungeons and Dragons, but have you ever rolled a 20? That's 1/20, 5% instead of 4%. Pretty close. It's the kind of thing that's going to happen every once in a while. It's more likely than rolling Snake-eyes, double-ones on a pair of 6-sided dice. (1/36 or 2.8%)
Slight bits of randomness happen. It's an important life skill to be able to accept it.

this is all too familiar.
