I just checked.  Games against the mech rogue bot made up 40% of my games in diamond.  Didn't start until I reached diamond 10.  I mean, what's the use of playing if you're going to get 40% auto-losses in diamond?  Ridiculous.

I've never experienced anything like this before.  I've been playing diamond ladder today, and been matched up against an enormous amount of mech rogue bots that always draw perfectly and beat me every game on turns 5 or 6.  Every single bot has a name that consists of a adjective and a noun, like Sage Loa, Quartz Orc, Mint Grell, etc.  They always draw perfectly, play the same cards, very quickly fill the board with highly buffed minions with windfury, and win before I can do much of anything at all.  I've played the game for 10 years, and this is the first time I've had zero fun playing and basically find the game unplayable.

I've heard that these are Blizzard bots, used so that people don't have to wait in queue, but why create a bot so toxic?  I even read someone's comment about playing against one of these bots and stealing a couple of cards from its opening hand.  The bot actually never played either of the cards this person stole, instead playing the same opening cards that the bot always plays, confirming that the bot cheats.  I suppose this confirms that these are Blizzard bots, since third party bots wouldn't be able to cheat like that.  But, again, why create bots that draw perfectly every time, create an overwhelming board every time, and always win on turns 5 or 6?

I just checked my deck tracker, and I played 13 games against these stupidly-named bots in diamond.  I have a decent winrate against human opponents, but have been crushed by the bots.  This has made diamond ladder unplayable for me, and, for the first time in 10 years of playing HS, I ended up really hating playing today.  I mean, what the point of even trying on ladder if you're going to have tons of auto-losses to cheating bots pulling you down?  This is so stupid, I find it hard to believe.

(Haven't played the game in some time.  Didn't remember my PW here, and don't have the same email.  Just created a new account, rather than try to figure out a way to recover.  Will show proof of my quest.  Thanks.)
