"To really understand what is going on, you need to do some research. I can give you a couple of links to get you started so you know what you are dealing with."
Let's go ahead and take a look at the smoking gun evidence that is so strong 3nnu1 thinks it will entice us down the rabbit hole.
This was reporting on an exploratory patent done by an Activision R&D team, not affiliated with any particular studio. At the time. it had not actually been implemented any where. I've not seen any confirmation of it used in any game. If they do actually do something like this, then he **does** have a point imo. This system is pretty scummy, but the way the patent is structured, the system couldn't possibly be used in Hearthstone.
It rewards users who buy items by placing them in scenarios that the item is good. IE: You buy a sniper rifle, your next game is on a map where sniper rifles are very effective. End result: you feel good about your purchase and might want to buy more. It also puts people who it thinks might want the sniper rifle in that game with you so that they see how awesome you do with it and they want to buy it too. Since we dont directly buy items this system wouldn't work in Hearthstone. We also dont have variables like maps that it can use to highlight the new item so the only way this could be adapted for Hearthstone is to have better RNG when you first play with a card and then normal RNG after. But then that directly conflicts with the claim in this post so its a weird thing to use to try to agree with the OP that the game is rigged.
This being in the "Science" section is pretty laughable. There is barely any actual science and its basically is just someone bitching about how they got sucked into the Candy Crush craze. I just can't take seriously people who act like there's some nefarious purpose to a game being easy at first and harder as it goes. That's just good game design. Seriously, that's something I use as a milestone when trying new games on my phone. Too hard at first? Uninstalled. Too easy after more than 30 minutes of play? Uninstalled. Its not some conspiracy. Its basic logic. If a game is too hard at first then it's not fun and difficult to learn. Then if its too easy once you've learned it then you never have to overcome any challenges and it gets boring very quickly.
The only bit of science that it actually references is when it goes into the bit about how Candy Crush locks you out of the game for a while. I will admit that this is a mechanic that instantly turns me off of a game and I think is completely annoying. But trying to link it to evil intentions because of hedonistic adaptation is a bit of a stretch. That's just their monetization model. Hedonistic adaptation is one of the reasons that the business model can work but if the game wasn't engaging without the break then users would get scared off once they made the mistake of spending that money and got very little satisfaction out of their purchase.
Regardless, I'm not really sure how this relates to Blizzard rigging things. King was also known for being highly successful in the mobile space which Blizzard was looking to expand in to. Acquiring a company like King brings in a lot of employees with experience that they were missing, a bunch of technical data and code that they could use to optimize their entries into the market, and multiple highly-profitable IPs which they have to invest very little time and money in to. I'm not sure why anyone would think there needs to be hidden motives on this one.
"Here is a seminar provided by a blizzard employee which illustrates everything is on the table in terms of rigging matchmaking and other parts of the game to promote player engagement."
Thats just a talk about the concepts behind Skill systems, Matchmaking systems, and Ranking systems. I've seen it before but I rewatched it just to confirm: Absolutely nothing about rigging matchmaking, for player engagement or otherwise, is mentioned. There is nothing nefarious there at all. I'm not sure what 3nnu1 is trying to prove linking a presentation about the work that goes into quantifying player skill so that they can have players of the same skill level play against each other. Doesn't seem to support the idea that the game is rigged at all.
"The overall practices have had an interesting effect on blizzard as a whole, blizzard has become more profitable while losing players. This means their practices have extracted more money from some players while driving away another part of their player base.
This link is broken but I'm pretty sure its meant to go to the article on gamespot. I'm just going to go ahead and quote from the article itself "While Blizzard's total number of players might be down year-over-year, it's not altogether very surprising. Q1 2020 marked the beginning of the pandemic, which led to a surge in people playing games, so a comparison to that quarter was always going to be difficult to match." The article itself basically says don't jump to the conclusion 3nnu1 jumped to. Yikes.
These same points have been brought up with him before. Multiple times. He's either incapable of comprehending what he reads/ hears, or (much more likely) he's trying to mislead people. He knows the vast majority of people following this thread won't both to read the articles or watch the video, so he deliberately misrepresents what they say in order to manipulate them. Pretty scuzzy, TBH.

what is more crazy is people feeding this person's post, who's clearly pissed because the odds were not in his favor.

If you cannot discredit the message then shoot the messenger eh? Thanks for making my points for me.
Well the messenger in this case is misinterpreting the message, so yes, shoot the messenger.
I would consider myself a fairly rational person, and I’ve said multiple times on this forum how I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if Blizzard were manipulating things to the detriment of gameplay in order to increase the profitability of the game. I don’t trust game publishers, and I certainly don’t trust Activision.
With that said, every time you or one of your crew come into a thread with you tails in the air, posting ‘evidence’ and ‘facts’ I can’t help but weep for humanity. You have never once posted ANYTHING which actually proves, or even heavily implies what you are claiming.
In Mathematical tests the main points are given for those who can show their working out, regardless of whether they get the answer correct or not. You score a zero for your working out. You may be right however, Blizzard MAY be rigging the game. Maybe.
If you want people to take what you are saying seriously then I think you need to go back to the drawing board. Read your ‘evidence’ carefully and understand it, understand what conclusions you can draw from it and then figure out what statements can be conclusively made. Your final message won’t be as definitive you want it to be but it won’t be riddled with holes either.
What I find funny is that the only thing the whole conspiracy crew has done is convince me that the RNG in the game is fair. There's so many people who are so passionate about the idea that there's this rigging going on, which is frankly not that difficult a thing to prove. Just log your games for a month and prove that your quality of card draw is not within reasonable distance of the expected average. The Minecraft speedrunning community got this done for Dream's speedruns. The fact that there's this batallion of tinfoil hatters who'll post the same three links over and over again like they've not been discredited and dismissed five hundred times and yet there's zero actual stastical evidence for their claims just makes it look like their claims are fake. Is this an argument from ignorance fallacy? Yes, and I recognize absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. I'm not making the claim anything's been proven. Does it emotionally make me feel like the conspiracy crew is full of crap? Yes. You can prove this! It's not that hard! Most deck trackers log this stuff! Just do the maths and prove us all wrong! Be a 2 mana 2/2 that pulls a secret from your deck when it dies. I'LL SHOW THEM! I'LL SHOW THEM ALL!

This made me think of this video about a very controversial streamed Minecraft speedrun:
The mathematician YouTuber Matt Parker essentially proved that no, that speedrun was too lucky to be plausible. Some "rigging" had been going on, most likely different droprates than standard on the game version he was playing.
The lack of anything comparable in Hearthstone is indeed very comforting.
Blizzard rigs RNG in a variety of ways for a variety of reasons. But some on this site will continue to deny it as if their livelihoods depended on it.
Please gather some data to prove it then. The legendary pity timer for packs was rigged, and the community proved it. It was even a pretty complicated one, as not hitting a legendary in 40 packs is already pretty unlikely, but it was still proved it was impossible.
Nothing else has been proved, so it it is a non issue. But you are too lazy to do that kind of work, and you are more than happy riding your convictions based on assumptions and anecdotal evidence. Sigh.
The simple statement that without definitive proof it is a non issue is so misguided it is not even funny. How about you prove they are not rigging it because circumstantial evidence and common sense assures us that they are.
Burden of proof is on you. Circumstantial evidence and "common sense" are not proof. Put together some statistics, some examples of how players are punished with bad RNG. Otherwise you're not proving anything.
its nice to see someone like 3nnu1, i always think that everything its rigged in HS , its logic and its common sense, no company will rely on luck his incomes, they need a 50% winrate to maintain everyone happy and playing (and paying)... soccer video-games implement this algorithms 10 or 15 years ago to maintain the 50% winrate...
I dont have a big sheet with data but i can count a lot of times that things with infinitesimal probability occur to me in HS... if were lottery i had won the big prize so many times with that odds...
the last one its happening now, with imprisoned felmaw (thats the reason i keep reading this post, because that initial message), im on a streak of 19 times imprisoned felmaw go face, this one i was counting with a friend just for the laughs... of the people who thinks that the RNG its not rigged...
goes like this... 8 times go face with me having 2 minions, 3 times go face with me having 1 minion, 4 times go face with me having 3 minions, 1 with 5 minion, 1 with 6 and 2 with me having 7 minions on board... all the times to the face, all the times in a row... keep defending blizzard monkeys
with this i dont want to demostrate nothing to nobody, just to show some support to 3unn1, my man
That's strange because me and my friend carried out the same experiment, I'm currently on a 118 streak of Felmaw hitting a minion. which is odd because in 89 of those cases there wasn't even another minion on board.

You realise that with many millions of games, this kind of streak is inevitable, for someone, somewhere? In fact, you would need to rig it to ensure this doesn't happen.
If you flip a coin, how many heads in a row would it need to show until you started thinking the coin was a trick coin or rigged in someway? If you do a large enough test size, you would expect to get long streaks of heads or tails as well as streaks of one then the other, as well as lots of little bursts of say, heads, heads, heads, tails.
What you're doing in your head is saying "it's got a 50% chance of being heads, so if I flip it ten times, I should get 5 heads or something is fishy.
If you flip it one hundred times and record it each time, then the odds of getting the exact sequence you got, even though 100 flips is a tiny data size, the odds of getting that exact sequence, in that order, will be really high. You're applying odds to something after the fact, you can do that with literally anything. What you need to be able to do is predict. If something is rigged, you should be able to ascertain the pattern and recreate it. The coding for the game would need to say what it is that happens, the game isn't some super AI that can think on the fly. It would need to essentially have 'if x happens then that triggers y'. They would need to instruct it on what to do and given the millions of games of hearthstone that are logged and recording, I would think it would be pretty easy for a site like hsreplay to have busted this wife open long ago.
Of course you're going to agree with the other poster, they validate your 'feelings' and so you're agreeing with them simply because you like what you say. You obviously then can't recognise your own bias and it leads you to think that you agree with them for good reason.
This would be such a simply thing to prove, yet it's never been done or even come close.
emicampo just needs to download a free screen capturing software and record a few dozen games and he'll be able to blow this whole thing wide open.
If he's so amazing at the game that Blizzard need to target his account with bias RNG to make it fair on the rest of us, to such an extent that they're making Felmaw hit face literally every single time, then this would be very easy to highlight.
Like seriously. it wouldn't take any effort at all and you could sell this story to the gaming press as they would be very interested to see it.
its nice to see someone like 3nnu1, i always think that everything its rigged in HS , its logic and its common sense, no company will rely on luck his incomes, they need a 50% winrate to maintain everyone happy and playing (and paying)
When you're right you're right. They do have a system which keeps everyone at 50% winrate. It's this big secret, so make sure you don't leak it, or the Blizz police may come knocking on my door: It's called MMR. It stands for Match Making Rating, and it's a number which roughly tracks your skill. They match you with people of a similar number, so that if you're good your opponents are also good and they're more likely to beat you. When you're at the correct MMR for you, your opponents should be of equal skill to you, and your winrate is at 50%. It's a fiendishly clever way of not needing to do all the complicated work of programing rigged RNG into every card.
As for your Felmaw streak - that is actually some data, and pretty suspicious data at that. Legitimately, good job, this is the best argument I've seen for the rigged RNG hypothesis. That said, I'd love some proof of this data, because it's truly extraordinary - the probability of it is one in several hundred billion. If the RNG for Felmaw was this heavily rigged it would be impossible for people not to notice - I've had Felmaw hit a single minion a few times, and I've played a little less than a hundred billion games where a Felmaw was up against one minion, for instance - which casts shade on the authenticity of the data. I'd be probably willing to take something that doesn't have such astronomically low odds of happening (and thus doesn't clearly prove your point) at face value more than this. It still wouldn't be definitive proof of anything because of the usual problems with stuff like this on forums - small sample size, a lack of control groups, possibly counting only the hits and ignoring the misses - but it would be enough for me to not see the conspiracy position as based on literally nothing.
That's not how you calculate probability, the more minions in play the less chances Felmaw hits face. And no, Naralex is not rigged, from 5 dreams available, you get 2 and they can repeat, that's all.
Do you really understand how probability works?
You CAN rig probability.
Let's say there are 3 types of items, A, B, and C. If there is only one of each type, the chances of getting an A is only 1/3.
However, you CAN reduce the chances by adding more B or C items. For example, there is only 1 A, but there are 3 Bs and 3 Cs. The chances of getting A is now only 1/7.
These two RNGs are the same. You CAN rig them in the code. It's actually pretty easy.
In fact, Hearthstone has actually confirmed that they rigged some of the Discover card's RNG, so that they can't Discover itself.
Not discovering themselves is not rigging anything.. its simply removing a card from the pool of available randomness.
the last one its happening now, with imprisoned felmaw (thats the reason i keep reading this post, because that initial message), im on a streak of 19 times imprisoned felmaw go face, this one i was counting with a friend just for the laughs... of the people who thinks that the RNG its not rigged...
You know, if there is no minion on your board, it doesn't count towards the streak right ? Just saying, because you never know with people like you, I wouldn't be surprised if 15 out of 19 times there was no minion facing Felmaw.
I have 190k dust and 15k gold why would blizzard wanted to rig my games? I have no intention of spending money in a very looong time so yeah I can’t imagine the reason why they have an algorithm to rig games
The paranoia here is amazing. You probably regret taking the blue pill and haven't got your COVID-19 vaccine yet because you don't want to be microchipped by Bill Gates.

It still wouldn't be definitive proof of anything because of the usual problems with stuff like this on forums - small sample size, a lack of control groups, possibly counting only the hits and ignoring the misses - but it would be enough for me to not see the conspiracy position as based on literally nothing.
Not discovering themselves is not rigging anything.. its simply removing a card from the pool of available randomness.
You know, if there is no minion on your board, it doesn't count towards the streak right ? Just saying, because you never know with people like you, I wouldn't be surprised if 15 out of 19 times there was no minion facing Felmaw.
I have 190k dust and 15k gold why would blizzard wanted to rig my games? I have no intention of spending money in a very looong time so yeah I can’t imagine the reason why they have an algorithm to rig games
Brilliant!
