I see what you're saying. Maybe if enough people contact Blizz they'll take a look.

This by definition would make the range of change inconsistent, but I take your point. However, just bc there is less room for change at higher mmr does not necessarily mean that change at said mmr would be any more consistent. And IIRC, I was losing a fairly consistent amount of ranking every time I lost at lower mmr, even though the amount of ranking I lost was far more substantial than that which I would lose at say 100-300. That may just reflect my personal experience and be representative of a statistical anomaly, but it was my experience nonetheless.
With that said, I agree that something is clearly wrong if you're not increasing/decreasing rank by more than 7 at 900 in a single match, much less 35.

Right, you gain/lose less at higher mmr, but the amount you gain/lose is also less consistent, at least in my experience. That's why I presumed that the amount of rank gain/loss he was describing was a bi-product of being at relatively low rank, because of how consistent it was. Then again, it's been a few months since I've bothered to climb to legend and even longer since I've been as low as 700. My memory is admittedly a little hazy on this.

If you say so. I've never been below 700, I just recall wins and losses being more consistent with regard to rank/derank when I was lower.

You can't play around zephyrys every turn bc the only thing you can anticipate about it is that it's going to provide the perfect answer for whatever you have on the board or lethal if it's possible for your opponent. And you can't play around what zephyrys gives to your opponent directly bc it's always played on the same turn that zephyrys is, and it's impossible for you to know for for sure that zephyrys is going to be played/is in your opponent's hand on their next turn. So really the best you can do is try to bait the zephyrys out and hopefully have enough reload to still win the game in the coming turns. That's not playing around it so much as it is hoping that your opponent uses it.

Face hunter is one of the cheesiest, no question. Thanks for commenting!

Thanks, glad you liked it! <3

You're relatively low so that sounds pretty standard. Once you get to mid to high ranking it'll stop doing that

You're commenting on a public thread, so anything you say on here is essentially everyone's business. Not sure how you don't understand that, lol. I'd be happy to return to the topic at hand tho, just found the way you talk amusing. You do realize you don't need to use three exclamation/question marks every time, right? Haha

Agreed. I dislike lackeys on principle as well. The sheer value generation and potentiality for randomness that lackeys have shouldn't exist in standard IMO. I understand that some find that lackeys provide flavor/are "interesting", but for me they detract from the skill aspect of HS and make the meta more of an RNG clown fiesta.

I'll chalk it up to you not being a native speaker and consequently not understanding how using a ton of exclamation points and a smiley face to express how much you love lackeys on a thread about hating lackeys could be considered BM, lol

God bless lackeys with 3 exclamation points and a smiley face. Seems like you're going out of your way to troll OP but ok, lol.

Welcome to HS! As you can see, there is an ongoing debate about the extent to which skill (as opposed to luck) plays a role in winning and ranking up. I can assure you that if you continue to play/put time into the game your skillset will develop and you will get better at the game, so don't be discouraged by those asserting that luck and RNG are the only factors that decide who wins/loses matchups. You may not always be able to anticipate what is in your opponent's hand, but you can optimize how you play what is in yours.
I would offer you my btag but I see several people have already done that and I'm sure they're more than capable of helping you out. Best of luck and remember to have fun. The instant you start taking HS too seriously will be the instant you get tired of it and lose all interest; take it from someone who's been there.
P.S.: Experience is the best teacher, so if you find that YT videos are too complicated just jump into some matches. Experiment with how you play your cards and try to find what is most conducive to achieving whatever deck you are playing with's win condition. Knowing how your deck wins and playing in such a way that facilitates this "condition" is integral to victory/progression in HS, and the best way to attain said knowledge IMO is through actual gameplay. If you're struggling with this, check out pro streamers on twitch and observe how they are playing your deck differently. You'll be able to find popular/high WR decks on HSreplay; I would suggest an aggro deck like face hunter or mech pala bc they are relatively easy to play, cheap to construct, and allow you to focus on fundamentals like counting and board control. Again, best of luck.

Lol. srs?

That's fair. They aren't comparable with regard to how many cards exist in each respective game. They are quite analogous, however, in that they both are card games that reward you for outplaying your opponent based on what they have in their hand relative to what you have in your hand and both have luck/RNG elements that apply directly to card draw and how effective (relatively speaking) said draw is. Both require skill to excel at, but also require luck. In this sense pretty much every card game is in the same boat, albeit with varying levels of skill relative to luck or vice versa, and I don't think online poker (where you can't directly read your opponent) and HS are too far apart here.
I don't want to derail the salt thread tho, so I can't believe HS devs got together and thought zephyrys was a good idea for a card. Spent weeks developing an algorithm for it so that it would know exactly what options to provide every time it's played and never once thought "hey, this is by far the strongest and most unbalanced card in the history of the game. Maybe we shouldn't make it so ridiculously overpowered. You know, for balance and stuff".
