But that's exactly what I'm asking for: evidence. You can't simply trust Blizzard to police itself. I don't think Blizzard is rigging the system right now, but that doesn't mean that they can't, or that they won't. Only regular independent audit can ensure they remain honest.
I don’t think that Blizzard is actually rigging the match making system. However, I’ve never seen an analysis that attempted to prove that they aren’t. Scrutiny like that is necessary to keep businesses that profit from games of chance honest. The opportunity to rig the game exists, and only independent statistical audit can confirm that isn’t happening. To my knowledge, casinos in the United States have to submit to far more regulation than game companies like Blizzard, even though the Computer gaming industry is far more profitable on the whole.
I think it’s incumbent on organizations that gather Hearthstone data, like Vicious Syndicate and HSReplay, to study this question frequently, no tinfoil hat required.
