with the reward pack my pity timer hit 40...legend opened Infiltrator Lilian oh well...you often read posts here on opening days where people open 150 packs and get 15 legends (1/10) including 3 golden ones and 40 epics. I just cant believe that. In my history of hearthstone starting about half a year after beta I had exactly one solid expansion opening,which was Journey to Ungoro.I got 2 golden quests (open the waygate one of them) and legends slightly under a 1/20 packs rate. All the other expansions that rate was between 1/25 and 1/40, epics in average maybe 1/7.
If you apply an average 1/35 legend and a 1/7 epic opening rate for someone who does his dailies, grinds some gold here and there and is able to open 80 packs at the start of a new expansion thats 3 legends (with the guaranteed one in the fist 10) and 11 epics. With the introduction of demon hunter we have 10 classes 24 new legends and 46 new epics each expansion...so thats just a small share of whats available...and imagine you draw the bad ones. Basically with those rigged pack rates you would have to open around 800 packs to get all legends...impossible
Thats actually the biggest flaw in the system.You can not give people legends at a 1/10 rate and others at a 1/35 rate.Thats a HUGE imbalance, especially if the F2P folks get the 1/35 rates. You'll never be able to keep up. I'd immediately sign if I get the average 1/20 legend and 1/5 epic rates offered. The good RNG folks would probably refuse that offer. Pity timers HAVE to be changed.
So RNG and manipulation in every single aspect of this spoiled game. Matchmaking rigged (playing against a rankless your opponent with legend card back anyone), your draw and mulligan nerfed, opponents draw buffed, crazy combos enabled for your opponent, Pack opening rigged, legend and epic opening rates close to the pity timer, Golden cards decreased, quests rigged (what is a 100 Gold quest,not seen one in a year),don't get me started about that battlegrounds slot machine...
all in order to frustrate you and push you towards buying a bundle/craft new cards and milk the players/maximize profit
I also think RNG isn't the same for every player and isn't only maintained to reach a 50% win rate. If certain people lose more there must be others who win more. Imho there's whales who preorder each time, buy all the event packs and newbies/people that return after a long break who get favourable RNG in matchups or packs and on the other side people like me, who are mostly or completely F2P veterans, who grind a lot and try to keep up, that get awful RNG. I know there is some people out there, who defend Blizzard/Team 5 at all cost and deny manipulation...imho they belong into the group of whales who never/hardly experienced rigged nerfed RNG or streamers with buffed RNG....or its people paid by Blizzard
Honestly at this point I think it might be better to just stop and quit hearthstone. But there's just so much time and effort invested in it and actually it was fun and one of the best games I've played back then. It's a shame cause I know with the right competent people in charge, that actually care for the game and not only profit, this could be THE CTCG for years to come. But currently you just close the game and feel salty and mad about rigged RNG. Maybe a 3 month break or whatever is needed to get that free deck for returners is the way to go and meanwhile give LOR a try.Then return and see if things changed. If not leave for good.

Face decks are brain dead and the people who enjoy playing them must really hate any form of decision making.

Fuck druids. That is all.

Fuck hunters sending everything to face to end by turn 5. That is all.
