Haha, you forgot that it's pay to win. They can and will tilt the odds in favor of people who spent more money. Other developers have been caught doing that as well. I'd be interested to see a study.

 Would it matter if there is a study? Would you actually believe the results if they differed from what you want them to be? The answer to both of those is no. You refuse to interact with anything that opposes what you believe. 

One would think that with the amount of people playing this game surely someone else besides a few random people on this site would have come to the same conclusion as you. They haven't though. There's also add-ons like Bob's Buddy that simulate the battles and seem pretty spot on in terms of probability. Do they know if you paid Blizzard money too and adjust your odds?

I've seen way more unlikely things and didn't think anything of it. I'm surprised by the amount of people who don't understand large data sets and probability.

I also wondered if there is some sort of script that penalyze players without tavern pass.

 

Then how do I explain my recent run of just absolutely getting run over lately? I have bought the Battlegrounds Pass every time since it started.

The amount of times lately I just run into an opponents who have boards that are just miles better than mine on turn 8-9 is ridiculous. I'm getting way more top 8's than top 4's as of late. It could also be that I rose in rating and am facing better players and have not adapted. That would probably be considered nonsense around here though.

Of course, You can't prove much without documentation and data so I think I will start doing just that.

 

 Looking forward to your presentation.

Quite interesting. At least someone can get data of some sort on this issue.

I'd have to echo what some other people have said though which is that given Baron's low stats at a point in the game when hit by pretty much anything it will die. Also, Juggler builds tend to have lots of taunts in the way since there are lots of demon taunts that spawn more demons for more Juggler hits. And yea, how many times was Baron "sniped" by Zapp?

Overall, I'd say it's a good start. However, it does seem to be biased. The bias in this case is trying to make the stats justify the conclusion without looking at (or just not publishing) all the details.

I would like to see a large amount of data collected on this. Lately I've been frustrated that my Sefin seems to always have taunt and getting attacked immediately, Once again there is the case of it being a low stat minion at that part of the game. So I am also just praying nothing hits it and I'm also emotionally invested in it by that point too which isn't good for rational thinking.

I will say this though. A while back Kripp had mentioned something about it being confirmed by Blizzard that cleave minions hit the corner minions more often than would be expected just in general. So there may be something there. Just need a reliably unbiased, and preferably open source data collection and analysis.
