is always same i go 5-0 6-0 and last fight is imposible to win first time
This is because players who are rank 1 can be put vs other legend players , Now im not saying that all, but some players after reaching legend will stop playing ther deck that they climbed with (10-12 hours) and will play more enjoyable or experiment with new decks. This is what happens to me ... during D10-D2 i am playing matchups and i see the same 5-6-7 decks in repeat all over because those are the tier 1/2 deck that have a good winrate and can climb faster, but at rank 1 i see shit that i never encountered before (the unexpected) and sometimes even a T3/T4 deck can win against me because I am thinking his pirate rouge can't be anything else , so I muligan for cards and play to counter that deck ,and bum facepalm his control dragon rouge
Want to cross the line? Ignore the line. Seriously, don't even check your rating... your rank progress, just play.
Learnt this from playing Fifa competitively online years ago- it was fucking amazing how many late goals I'd concede if I was 1 - 0 or 2 - 1 ...I'd check the clock ...5 minutes to go...and bam...panic, nerves, tilt..call it what you like.
Human psychology when it sees the finish line is weird, and you won't be aware of your drop in performance because your focus was wandering. You won't acknowledge the choke - you are more likely to blame bad luck or the game being 'fixed' as you imply here. It's not, it's all you. Don't think about the finish line.
It’s clearly not, stop spreading conspiracies you make up because you don’t understand statistics and bias (not only confirmation bias, but also primacy/recency effect etc.). There is no reason to rig the game at all but many reasons to not do it. And getting people to spend money is simple: new cards, new viable decks, cool effects, standard rotation,….
I have spent an absolutely wild, perhaps even irresponsible amount of money on this game. I own every card, and buy the bundles at every opportunity. Why do I still lose sometimes? Why does Blizzard not match me against only the poor, weak, collectionless players to trick them into spending money? Why does their genius algorithm not analyze our decks and deliver me good matchups and topdecks on a silver platter? I don't doubt they're trying to rig the game, but they aren't doing a great job of it
The thing that really gets me about this conspiracy that keeps popping up, is that nobody who spouts it can seem to rationally explain why they would actually do it. It always circles back to "uh so you'll buy more cards", but that belies a fundamental lack of understanding of how the game works. There is no situation in which you are grinding the last 5 ranks, and the solution to your problem is buying packs.
Seriously. You might think "oh but if I switch decks / get some insane tech cards" or whatever is beneficial, but it actually isn't. What's beneficial is playing the exact deck, no changes, that you've played all along. Messing around with your deck is one of the easiest way to screw yourself over in that climb.
Which begs the question: what does Blizzard, who we all agree is a corrupt company, actually stand to gain from rigging it in the way you guys are suggesting? They're not selling you a solution.

Because it is a proven money maker, King printed money making a fake game designed to stimulate spending. Activision acquired king so they could implement their expertise. If the piss poor money sink Mercenaries couldn't convince you, the predatory monetization of diablo immortal, the absolute hellhole of a workplace filled with hypocritical harrassers....the fact that Blizzard has positions on their staff of Community Manager who's actual job it is to defend their reputation from the truth coming out.....Anyone who still believes that Blizzard is a legit company who would never manipulate hearthstone outcomes in search of profit is either a shill or clueless.

But mercenaries is predatory. You need to level up your stuff, and leveling up takes either an insane amount of time or money.
Reward systems vs new content dropout, cosmetics, and other stuff are all pointed at making profit, there's no doubt in that, and mercenaries is a clear attempt at making a big big profit. Diablo Immortal? You can read the scam there, it's a classic gacha with classic gacha dynamics.
But ranked mode? How would that even work? Rigged matchups and draws to improve your results when you spend? Would that even work if you don't realise it?
Think about this. I don't believe the game is rigged because there are no clear signs, so I won't spend money to improve my odds because I see no return of investment in it. You believe the game is rigged and that if you spend money you'll get a better outcome, now you may be pushed to spend some money to increase your rank, but this is based on your belief, not upon the fact that the game is or is not rigged. So literally rigging the game or not doesn't change how likely you are or I am [EDIT: to spend money] in this scenario, because we don't know what's happening. When you spend money on mercenaries you get coins, coins upgrade the mercs, when you spend money on Diablo you get gems that make your character stronger. When you spend money on HS you get cards, which let you build more decks (this is the real incentive) and a slightly better chance of drawing bloodlust on curve I guess? Even if it were true, it's not written anywhere, so how are we supposed to know and get convinced to spend?

Eh, I dunno anything about Diablo Immortal, but Mercenaries really isn't that predatory, especially with recent changes.
Mercenaries is still a gacha game, no matter how easy farming stuff may seem, and maxxing out mercs takes a lot of time. Can you still play it without spending? I guess so, but it's not really relevant to the thread because other mechanisms to have you spend money still apply. Also consider that it's a pretty recent game mode, only a year old, and the trend with similar stuff is adding more and more things to upgrade as the game progresses. I hope it's not the case for mercenaries and only new mercs will be added, but it still stinks.

I'm not asking you. Why would I be asking you specifically?
Because you quoted my post and asked a question directly related to my post. If you wasn't asking me specifically, never mind then.
English is not my native language, so, with a high probability, mistakes were made.
I'm sorry I did, I didn't realize I was quoting you
