Buddy, you just don't understand what they mean. It's more about how they match you with people. Once you find where you're supposed to be in terms of your ranking then you will likely have a win rate close to 50% with some variance because the game mode has a lot of luck involved. This is because you will simply be matched with similarly skilled players ("Worthy Opponents").
My rank is around 6500. But if I was able to play players with a ranking of 2500 I guarantee my win rate would be 80% or higher and then taper off as my ranking rises and close in on the 50% mark. Simply by playing against people closer to my level. Not by some forced algorithm.
As a developer, I DO understand what it means. The Luck stat itself is literally rigging the game for or against you depending on how well you're doing. Then the pay to get 2 more choices increases your ability to get a better hero by 50%. It's not nefarious, It's not an insult to the game or anything sneaky. It's something they themselves have discussed and a norm in auto-battlers. I don't though, understand how you guys can't understand it.
Paying to get a 50% chance to get a better hero increases your chance to win exponentially, which is rigging. Adding a luck stat to keep you at 50% is rigging. Even pushing you to play against people better or worse than you based on your w/l and rating is rigging. It's literally all forced algorithms.
You keep using the term 'rigging' and then conflating it with stuff like buying the battlepass to increase your odds of getting a good character. I think you are being disingenuous. You know very well that when people say 'rigging' what they mean is the game adjusting an RNG roll to favour an outcome, beyond what is displayed on screen to the players. This they do not do, either in arena, constructed or battlegrounds, yet throughout the game's history smooth brains have tried to suggest that they do. Let it go, deal with your losses and bad luck like a normal person.
What would be the point in rigging a game like battegrounds? There is no money involved, we're not talking about gambling here. The mode, like all of hearthstone is inherently full of RNG.
There is a whole wealth of streamers playing at different ratings levels that literally livestreaming evidence against your theory. If you are a decent enough player you can deliberately pitch to rough rating level by adapting how you play...For example, if I want to play at around 7k I know I can afford to make slightly more 'memey' decsions and plays than if I were trying to tread water at 9k.
If you peak at 6k it's obviously pretty hard to notice this - and I am telling you, if you are peaking at 6k then you are making a shitload of mistakes in terms of optimal play, every single game. So what would be the point in Blizzard rigging games against you? You are doing that quite adequately all by yourself.
