Matchmaking is so rigged. Make a heavily teched control Shaman with hungry crabs, Golakka crawlers, eater of secrets, ooze etc. Seems like the only deck on ladder right now is curator Paladin, elemental Shaman, and Lyra Priest. 7 out 10 matchups are control decks I struggle with now. So fucking rigged. Brode is a lying CUNT about this. When Blizzard finally admits they've been manipulating matchups based on deck contents I hope somebody actually brings a class action suit against them for misleading business practice. I also hope every fucking moron who has posted "tinfoil hat" "confirmation bias" "if you are being matched to lose someone else wins", etc, has the guts to admit they were wrong. They won't of course. Fucking asshats.
Honest question. Why would the algorithm choose you to screw over and not the other guy? So you think it matches ONLY you against bad matchups and let's the other players rank easily?
I believe they manipulate matchups to encourage sales of new expansion cards and as a lazy way to avoid balancing things properly. If the top tier decks were all cards from old expansions sales of the new cards would be slow. So they make sure winrates are good (but not out of hand good) for decks based around the new cards. Then they wave around stats saying "look" 50-55% winrates for the topdecks - but it's all manipulated bullshit.
You can try it for yourself - pick any class and make a deck with 2 crabs, 2 crawlers, 2 ooze, eater of secrets, some taunt, transform or silence, heal, removal, and some sort of late win condition. Will lose to slow/value decks like priest, curator Paladin, quest warrior, probably crystal rogue... but should be strong against murlocadin, pirate warrior decks, hunter and aggro Druid.
Play 20 games - bet you suddenly see a slow control meta with little Aggro to farm.
I just tested this and proved, to myself at least, that you are 100% wrong.
There is a psychological phenomenon where an individual will assume one outcome is more prevalent than another simply because they pay more attention to that outcome, usually because it has a bigger impact on them. Additionally, negative situations have a bigger impact on (most) people than positive ones.
It’s painfully obvious to me that you all do not pay much attention when you play games in a positive matchup, but when you are in a negative matchup (especially multiple in a row) you get upset and remember it, and conspiracy theories are born. .
What makes me salty isn't to lose but lose against what feels like cheating. Like having a full table turn after turn against a Mage who still win with 3 Ice Block, Alex and all their face damage that you can't protect against. Every time I play agaist such stuff I just want to quit and often do, I put away my iPad with bad feeling, not because I lost but how I lost.
Mage, Quest Rogue and Jade Druid give med the same bad taste in my mouth. Losing to an aggro Hunter, Pirate Warrior, Murloc Paladin or aggro Druid doesn't feel that bad.
WTF is Murloc Wallet paladin? You have to deal with an endless stream of Murlocs and then all the paladin legendaries and epics?
Also, I have two gadgetzans, both were at the bottom of my deck, so after killing all his mulocks, drakes, and tarim i finally ran out of answers for his rag. The next game I face a priest whose lyra gives him exact lethal.
If a I play scummy quest rogue, I immediately get pirate warrior. If I play gollakka, I never see him again. The match making system obviously scans your decks to give you your counter if you win too often in a row.
I spent some time this morning thinking what a great day it would be if I could just punch a pussy Quest Rogue player square in the mouth. Made my day a little better.

Ok then why once I tech in an eater of secrets I still face murloc pallys and secret mages while I'm on a win streak? The system must favor me for some reason and hate you. This theory is the worst theory.
Who the HELL plays Pirate Warrior in Casual?!?! I can live with the scums in ranked that play - but in Casual! just played 3 in a row...so apparently there is more than one asshole who is actively trying to ruin peoples' day.

You are obviously the luckiest player ever, which begs the question, why are you here on the salt thread arguing with salty people? Shouldn't you be having fun on your winning streak to legend?
I can understand why players use pirate warrior, I fully get it. It's easy and fast and you want that juicy ranked chest. But the last thing you have to do is bm. If you're going to use cancer, at least recognize it and don't make yourself even worse of a person.
How can you even get excited about new expansions and new cards when nothing changes, Static. Same classes thrive, same types of decks always thrive.. Aggro.. Sell out Peice of shit Hunters.

This game is SHIT
Yeah I feel sorry for the people that run this site, having to make up 'exciting' news for this game week after week when it's the same old shit. I sincerely hope Brode and Team whatever the fuck their name is get theirs someday for doing absolutely nothing to balance or improve this game. Borderline criminal neglect.
Playing what I thought was a pretty hilarious wild game as mech quest mage against what appeared to be a buff paladin. He spends his last turn emote spamming while I emote spam back even though he has lethal on the board. I figure it's all in good fun since we're both playing stupid decks. So he adds me, just to say "ur awful" and delete me. Personally I don't really give a shit but I don't understand how pathetic you can be to play a troll matchup and then tell the person that they're awful instead of just laughing about the stupid decks we're playing.
.
Jade Druids almost make me wish i was a big enough piece of shit to play pirate warrior or quest rogue
boohoo
potion of madness should really got its cost increased to 2 or 3 mana 1 mana is totally op and fuck aggro druid and pw aggro shit
3.2.1 kill shot
Mage is so easy to counter, they said.
Tech in Eater of Secrets, they said.
It's even easier with Midrange Paladin, they said.
Your Eye for an Eye will go right through Ice Block, they said.
Just get Jaina down to 1 hp and play Eye for an Eye, they said.
Unfortunately, they didn't say what to do when Jaina also runs Eater of Secrets and eats your secret.
