Just delete priest

Assuming zero extra draw it's on average 7.5/30 = 25% chance to get him on turn 4. The chance of that happening in 18/21 games is significantly less than one in a million.

Assuming a full mulligan it's 11/30 = 37% chance to get him, for about a 6 in a million chance.

game is rigged, no matter what the shills say.

My issue is opposite. I am not talking about the general situation in HS now, but the approach.

In general I would like to not see any balance changes after the releases. Game is out and it should be already tested. This approach is frustrating, why have we to always wait adjustments for something that should be already developed. 

And also this cause me a lot of delays in playing this game.

After every release I have always to wait the first balance changes to craft something because I already know that they will nerf everything in the first 1-2 weeks, than I have to wait the new meta and at this point I can craft. So, I have to wait nearly one month or more every time to craft something. Is this possible? Can team 5 simply test and stop this bullshit nonsense? They have to test not us. 

 no because it is part of their business strategy. They know that most people will craft the first week or two. Then they can quickly nerf the decks and force them to build new ones. See more monies. The shills on this site will tell you how great it is to have a such a proactive and responsive team on hearthstone, but you and I know it is annoying and unprofessional. I just think it is also intentional.

The shills in this game are so disgusting, people point out something obviously broken and unfun. And the shills suggest that every other player should run something that weakens their deck just in case they face priest while it weakens them against most other matchups. This is the stupidest and most disingenous argument a player can make for something to be balanced when it is clearly not. 

 That’s some real bronze rank thinking. If you don’t run silence or removal in your deck, and you are losing to buffed minions that you can’t deal with, it doesn’t make your deck weaker. 

So weird how I have consistently made legend with that bronze rank mentality. I must be the luckiest man alive.

There is so much powercreep and broken shit that it is hard to even begin to know where to complain. Fucking mage goes into recursion on turn 5, priest can field massive silent minions from turn 1. Quest hunter even stronger with nagas, mech paly is stronger than the wild version I used to take to legend......you can just go on and on, the game is pure silliness. At this rate, people will be able to draw their entire deck and kill on turn 2 with coin in a year or two. 

blizzard playtests as well as they code as well as they balance

actually it's just powercreep stone

100 games (only concede) on silver 10: more Shamans and DH, almost no Rogues compared to VS's GSB ranking from last week. Took about an hour.

(I doubt that this will put the topic to rest though - because reasons.)

 Thank you very much Banur for your effort.

Based on this data, it seems clear to me that the game is not rigged in the matchmaking system. It seems a closed point for me. 

 Do a thousand games at the gate to diamond 5 or legend and I bet you get very different results. Pretty funny how someone who has always defended blizzard was now believing that the game was rigged until one post of 100 games at silver with concedes suddenly convinced him otherwise. Nice little puppet show. 

 I think he was playing devil's advocate to get someone to present data that could be verified. You on the other hand have presented nothing of substance. You're just like all the other conspiracy theorists who claim it's so obvious. If it's so obvious why can't everyone else see it? Are you smarter than everyone else?

I hardly see anyone defending Blizzard here. They just don't attack them on things when there is no evidence. You know, behaving like normal rational people.

 yes, rational smart people trust activision and blizzard to not seek profit and behave honorably.

Year of the greedy lying pervert.......oh wait, that is every year at blizzard. 

I love it, the shills don't even come in and tell you that your imagining things anymore. Everyone knows the matchmaking is rigged. Now you just need to realize your draw order, discover choices and any other 'variable' in the game is also rigged. 

When Activision acquired King and moved further toward a controlled simulated game engineered to inspire spending rather than an actual game. Candy Crush was exposed years ago https://www.overthinkingit.com/2013/09/05/candy-crush/, 

The blizzard defenders will try and gaslight you and tell you that Hearthstone does not employ the same manipulations and principles, but if you have played for any length of time and taken a good look at what happens, you will know that Hearthstone (all modes) is BS.

What does that even mean? Are you saying I can't refute an opinion? That's what saying "mercenaries is horrible" is; an opinion (albeit a seemingly popular one), not a fact that can be refuted. Yes, it's a deeply flawed mode, but it's still the one I personally get the most enjoyment out of among the modes Hearthstone currently has to offer.

..but that's not my point. What I'm shaking my head at is the irrationality on display. I get it. you don't like the mode. A lot of people don't, but among the 5 quests of the event, the Mercenaries one is probably the 2nd quickest to complete after the single Brawl. Stamping your feet and proudly proclaiming to the world that you're foregoing all of the other rewards and deleting the quest is, quite frankly, childish. It's like throwing out your whole dinner because there were 3 brussels sprouts on your plate.

 keep strawmanning, all I said is that mercenaries is so bad that blizzard cannot even get me to play it by offering freebies. Evidently a lot of others agree with me. The only one stamping their foot and crying is you. Truth hurts I guess.

Be wary of these morons on here who spend all day complaining  but for some reason still play the game and still post on a game they hate so much

 be wary of the people who are positive and encourage you to spend money on this shitshow

 This is so lame, just as I predicted, one of the guilty ones
