I think I might have just faced Kaladin. I was fairly skeptical but damn... the guy is pretty unlucky.
I have seen SilentStorm on EU, but that's not Kaladin.
When you request to make a new Blizzard handle, you can either type in your own or click a button to have one randomly generated. "SilentStorm" is one of the names that can be randomly generated. I'm sure there are hundreds of players with that name.

Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.
People keep saying that the matchmaking is rigged, but has there ever been any proof? And I mean actual blizzard confession or revealed game-code that shows that it is rigged? Otherwise I think people really should read up on what Law of Large Numbers and Anecdotal Evidence means.
I want to help this,
Lw of large numbers?
Tell me that number that is considered "Ok" as "proof". 100 games?
1000 games?
I want to test this with tess rogue. Everytime i use it i face 90% rogue. Want to see if that's rigged or not.
That's a good question!
This is extremly hard to test from one persons point of view. This is because even if you run 1000 games and you face 90% Rogue, there are several other variables which must be accounted for.
Firstly, will we know how many decks are being played at that time? Maybe Rogue is just really, really popular so facing Rogues all the time isn't unspurprising. This is also influenced by at what rank you are playing. If you are top 10 legend and the other top 50 players tend to only face rogue, then it isn't surprising at all.
Secondly, do we know how everyone else fares in your region while you are playing your game? Like Law of Large Numbers dictates, things should even out <b>given all available players and games </b>, not one player So even if you yourself for some strange reason face 90% Rogue in 1000 games, this doesn't mean that the system is necessarily busted. Afterall, everyone else might have a varied experience in their match-making during your 1000 games. You yourself might just have really shitty luck.
Math and statistics put aside, I honestly doubt that you will get 90% rogue over even 100 games. So feel free to play 100 ranked games and note down your record. It won't prove anything but I think it might dispell your notion that your games are rigged. We as humans tend to remember what annoys us but forget what works smootly. This is why we remember those two times last month that we had a shitty customer experience at KMART but forget the other 98 times it's worked smoothly. When things work "as expected" then it doesn't leave a lasting inprint. But if things go sour, then it does, and we tend to exaggerate the impact and frequency in our own mind,
I'm not saying it is, i just want to have some "proof". I know that Math has a lot of variable but i want to try,
2/3 days 100 games with rogue (in ranked --> 10) this week no rogue. Ill try
Go for it ^^ For extra fun, note down who you play against and what time you played the game. Could be interesting to see (like did someone run only rogue repeatedly? Or did they change decks? Is it a few people just spamming the same deck and maybe they are the only available players in your rank-radius at the time?)
So... use a deck tracker. ;-)
Well..Yeah ^^ Forgot those existed (I only play using my phone, aight?) ^^
I love how every recruit Hunter I play always gets kele, curves into bomb and activator, always has flanking and stalkers, but on turn 8 kathrena is always in hand with no draw. Recruit is an awful, awful mechanic and I cannot wait to for it to rotate, along with those fucking cubes.

This guy that I played against has the exact same name as you, but I remember you said you were only on NA in some earlier post so I figured it's not you.
Im going to stop playing until the next expansion. Im tired. Im depressed. If I see one more Keleseth happy ghoul lightwarden bullshit Zoolock Im going to kill myself.
Fuck Blizzard and their inept designers, fuck this game, and fuck you for sucking the fun out of card games.
There's just this wall at rank 9 that I can't get past this season. I keep queueing into bad matchups. Fuck this meta. Fuck it all. I feel like smashing someone's head with a fucking hammer. Preferably a Druid player.
Rank 9, thats where I was at too. Then 10, 9 again then aaaallll the way back down to 10 zero stars.
I just dont understand. Am I a shit player? Why do I face 5 zoo locks in a row, then when I switch decks frustrated I get a priest???
No way the matchmaking isnt rigged. I didnt want to believe it, i couldnt, but I cant explain this bullshit. Then I switch to Odd Pally and I get 3 rogues who all remove everything I play. How? How is this possible? Is someone fucking with me?
If you still think this game is not rigged at all then i can confirm you that you're part of the dumbest people of this planet
Kay. What does T5 get out of rigging the game? You don't make more money by frustrating your customer base so they hate your product.
For salt I can't but help think of that moment when your opponent's random murloc deck starts throwing you flashbacks of old school WTF rng moments after having their Murloc Knight spawn another Murloc Knight, or when they generate two of the legendary murloc minion to provide massive burst damage that they didn't actually have in their deck.
Blizzard should just gut every single Big Priest card with no dust refunds. In fact, they shouldn't even let them delete the deck. The price for playing such a monument to shitty game design should be the permanent loss of a whole deck slot.

Start of Year: Provoke the failure of 3 expansions, force nerfs on otherwise balanced cards, bring deckbuilding to an all-time low and get rotated one year earlier for being such a threat to the game's health. - Genn and Baku's historical entry on the White Book of Shit Design, shortly before retiring unpunished
I think I might have just faced Kaladin. I was fairly skeptical but damn... the guy is pretty unlucky.
Well if it wasn't Kaladin don't give up hope. The elusive Kaladin match-up does exist ;)
I played somebody with the same b-tag on NA on wild ranked ladder a couple of days ago who was playing some form of handbuff paladin.
It wasn't, but the dude was still fairly unlucky. I devolved his Dr. Boom into a Possessed Lackey, I top-decked for three turns in a row and his totems/lightning storms were terrible all around.

I've had a good month gone from 18 to 12 with 2 cheesy Keleseth (Rogue/Warlock) decks.
My gripe!... Why do I have to use cheap Zoo type decks in order to climb, or have decks with 15000+ Dust Value (Which I cant afford).
I wish some of my home brew decks were good enough to get wins above rank 20, but they just arent.

Ironic. It could recycle others, but not itself.
kingsbane, double deadly poison, double shinyfinder, sharpsword oil, guess i should have played around it.
this makes 6/6 games in wild aggro.......getting tired of this.

I can confirm that you don't deserve to be on this planet. No doubt you think it's flat and it's 5K years old.
I enjoy.
You could run Eater of Secrets. I run that in almost all of my OTK decks since I know I'll lose to almost every mage if I don't.
In other words, play around it in the deckbuilding process before the games & queue even begins.
