If the name is like CrazyMage or other two word combinations like that, it's blizzard bots they use to fill the very low ranks.
you can't report those because they are "official"

At least you don't have the illusion that reporting them does anything. 😁

Im a standard player, and i really just have no desire at all to play it. So i wont. If others want to thats their business. Play what gives you joy in this bleak world

You're the kind of player who cannot be satisfied enough with any effort team made. Just quit and go play anything. Stop crying.

no counter ? There's literally control priests and mages everywhere . Solid alibis , dirty rats pullin out your countess and purator .. C'mon man you've reached top 500 legend and complain about pure paladin? Hard cap
Also this post belongs in the salt thread ( worst meta ever the 1000th time literally)

Let me name the counters in Standard: Shadow Word: Ruin, Twisting Nether, Brawl, Deathwing the Destroyer, Holotechnician + any 1-damage dealer, Lightbomb, Urchin Spines + a couple of Shellshot or Ricochet Shot, Soulstealer, Whirlpool, Shard of the Naaru, Smothering Starfish, or, finally, Doomsayer + mass freeze.
Try winning by populating a board with fat minions at turn 10, and you will soon learn something about this game.

Update: I went from literal scratch, never played a game of Classic, to Legend Rank 75 in a little over 24 hours and 93 games with a record of 85 wins and 8 losses. I'd like to thank the following players for their contributions:
* Njuqkjk
* Mmgyklo
* Ngtrrlcdk
and SO many more bots with names consisting of random letters. Thank you all!

I swore that during the holiday break between the last week of Dec and the first week of Jan, there were nothing but zoolock bots on the ladder. I created an anti-zoo warrior that was heavy on 2-damage removal and even ran Millhouse Manastorm because zoo's only spells are soulfire and mortal coil.
I think after I got to legend in Jan with the 11-star bonus (around rank 700) I was only seeing Control Warriors, so I switched to a greedy Paladin deck that can deal with all warrior's threats and still have cards and health left over. My theory was that blizzard has like one person who actions all the "botting" in-game reports and that person was on holiday until the 2nd week of Jan. But of course that's just speculation.
This month, I had the 10-star bonus, and until I got to diamond 5 there were very few bots, a good mix of other players' decks too. Druids and Rogues (which are harder for the Warrior). From diamond 5 to legend it was nothing but bots - all weird ones too (not all zoolock), with basic cards, mostly 1-and-2 drops and stormwind champions. I've heard that when your star bonus runs out (for 10-stars that's diamond 5) you start seeing the other players who are also at diamond 5 instead of players who match your MMR, so I'm guessing that's why it changed so suddenly. Since I got to legend it's back to being mixed, although there are still some zoobots there this month.
If you want a good, multi-purpose deck to get to legend in classic, I've been using this one. It can beat most any zoolock unless you draw all your top-end cards and whiff on fiery war axe. It's greedy enough to stand a chance against the other warriors. If you tech too hard against zoo you will lose all the mirrors. And the other matchups are not unwinnable (although Rogue can almost always draw through their deck before you can pressure them enough or armour out of range of leeroy/cold blood/shadowstep stuff).

Quote from CrusaderRO >>It's very easy to make the system be aware of probing it. Remeber, you are using ONE account each time you play.
System: "hey, this account faced 80% of my scripted decks in the last 50 games. It's getting obvious. Lets change back to either true pseudorandom or simply the negated scripting (i.e. don't face decks with certain cards)"
Player: "hmm, i've had 50 games that seemed to be against scripted opponents. But the next 10 were all over the place, and it continued to be like this for a while. Hmm, must've been an unlucky randomness streak with a 0.00001% chance. Nevermind, it happens, blizzard would never do this anyway".
System: "gottem. No big data website is gonna find out. Now let's reset the time variable for this account (yea, the variable that determines - after how many days of playing and/or being offline and/or matches played reached a certain number since the last script run - how often this scripted matchmaking should run)"
It's funny how easy it is to implement something like this, which doesn't even need to be complicated.
But that makes no sense.
You say that there is fixed matchmaking going on - but in order to prevent it from being detected in large datasets, the system is also providing random matchmaking that makes the fixed matchmaking seem appear as statistically normal.
That's like saying rolling a die is fixed to show six all the time - but there are enough of the other numbers to appear as if it's a 1-in-6 chance.
#edit: or rather you say that in order to prevent it from being detected by a single player, you have random data points which leads the person to assume them being an outlier in the larger dataset. That is more plausible in the smaller scope of a single person but fails in the larger picture as that is an aggregate of single persons which would all display that dynamic.

here they are the hearthstone white knights rushing to defend when it’s been a known fact.
The only known thing here is the rhetoric that is used over and over again in these topics:
"Here is the thing I can't prove but it's true and if you disagree you are a Blizzard shill and white knight. Therefore I'm right."
You have nothing but your few anecdotal data points. If you want to make that claim, back it up with an actual dataset and have an explanation why this was never discovered by the bigger data sites.

I don't understand this comparison - I can buy 15 ros pack for 19,99€ and thats it.
And now i have adventure for 19,99€ that give me 15 ros pack, golden pack, legendary, card backs and of course pve content.
For me this is better deal.
