I think large parts of that average base delude themselves into thinking they are better than they are. This is the same crowd that will complain about there being 'no skill gap'.

Quote from ZagniefMaster >>

If you play control deck, you have bigger chance to face another control deck. That's how matchmaking works.

 sure buddy, and your proof of that?

how about you aggregate 10 million games and show me some graphs, calculations.. you know an actual proof for that?

the only thing that matchmaker takes into account when looking for opponents are your MMR and rank, nothing else

if there was really some rigging happening, sites like hsreplay or vicious syndicate would have found that ages ago, coz they actually have info on millions of games that have happened over the last few years, just like how quickly we learned about pity timer existence  and then Blizz had to go out and confirm it

people should really try to read more about Confirmation Bias and Dunning-Kruger effect

Quote from mulluk >>

I build a nice 100% untypical priest deck no one had on their radar. And it worked fine. Even DH struggled. But then the matchmaker learned and i got matched against cheating druids over and over, making my deck useless, so i had to revert back to my good old Priest everyone hates. They DONT want us to play creative decks.

 ‘Creative’ decks use cards that aren’t as powerful and thus are less common for someone to keep in their collection which means that if someone wanted to make them, they’d need dust to craft the cards for them, so I imagine Blizzard was happy you were playing a creative deck and in reality, the deck just wasn’t as good as your initial win rate had you believe.

 so much this

Mr Mulluk, most likely was matched initially with someone of lower MMR like himself if he was goofing around with custom made decks(just an assumption, but highly probable one) and once the deck won a few games his MMR shot up a bit and he got matched with more meta deck which proved to be an actual killer for his deck

I find it kinda amazing how people defy the actual science behind the matchmaking and MMR and quickly just jump to conclusion of "I won first few games then my deck is good and game didn't like it so it matched me with counter decks to make me lose" :facepalm:

I'm not really sure who in their right mind would program their game to intentionally make players lose their games, the game is supposed to be fun and enjoyable, and people in general like winning, that's what keeps them coming back to the experience

BLIZZARD HOW MANY PACKS MUST I BUY WITH REAL MONEY BEFORE I GET GOOD RNG?

 more ofc

would be actually much easier if I was getting my weekly and daily quests.... :(

Quote from Gershelf >>

I know not of any card game, where what you get in the packs, aren't determined when you get them. If Hearthstone follows the same model (which is highly likely) saving up won't matter, since the new cards, will only be in packs earned, or bought, after that date.

 actually in hearthstone the contents of a pack are determined when you open it, not when you buy it because the opening of a pack actually happens on server, the server knows how many packs you have and it randomises the content of the pack you just opened  from the pool of currently available cards for this set

just how when they added new cards to the classic set, if you were hoarding some classic packs you could just open them and get new cards

Far as I understand there are going to be seasons here with rotating sets, just like in arena

so in one season they might not hit your collection, but next season might be purely standard

Quote from czapejro >>

what makes you think you can play with a friend even in normal mode?

how would that work?

I'm pretty sure you won't be able to do that, even in normal mode your goal will be to not lose 3 times

 becouse there said you will be able to play your friends... there even doing it on the stream now...

 I haven't heard that and I just read the blogpost and I can't see any info on it, so let's say it somehow might be possible, although too easily abusable to get to high wins, which doesn't make sense

and no, on the stream they were playing on a server with just 2 players, that's why they were playing against each other

Quote from Suskis >>

I have been a collector for years, so I own every single card in the game until Dragons expansion (then the droprate became so embarassing low that I quit). I kept an eye on Hearthstone, though and even if Battleground Autochess is pure trash for me, this new mode looks promising

 

 nothing ever changed about the droprate

in fact with no duplicate rule working now on all levels of rarity it's much easier to get full set now than it was a few expansions ago

what makes you think you can play with a friend even in normal mode?

how would that work?

I'm pretty sure you won't be able to do that, even in normal mode your goal will be to not lose 3 times

what else did you expect? for the stream to start out of nowhere without an announcement and a lot of people that would want to see it missing out?

actually this reveal is only happening around a week and a half sooner than usual as last expansion of the year is always being revealed at blizzcon which always happens at the very beginning of November

thus I wouldn't bet on the expansion being released earlier than usual, if anything maybe in the first week of december
