Can you prove it? MMR has been the officially assigned matchmaking system and there seems to be nothing that contradicts that.
The only people who believe this are paranoid toxic morons who dont want to improve
The biggest problem with the MM is that nowdays, you canāt even win the matches which was chosen by the MM for you to winā¦ because of the chaos the developers create with their nonsense mechanicsā¦ like hand manipulation, tons of discovery, mana cheatā¦ You canāt win matches if your enemy makes miracleā¦ not even if the MM chosed the match for you to winā¦ so you canāt get ratingā¦ and canāt improveā¦ The game is ruined by the unbalance and the MM combinedā¦ MM gives you impossible matches to winā¦ but you canātā¦ The MM works only when there is a balance in the gameā¦ but with every new expansion only the chaos grows as far as I seeā¦ the ladder becomes harder and harder to climbā¦ and that is exactly their goal I must believeā¦ this game is going in a very bad diractionā¦
I can speak for only myselfā¦ When I have returned to the game, there were no hand manipulation, only Mutanus and Tickatusā¦ I managed to get D5 with my own decks by hard work of monthsā¦ (from nothing) since thatā¦ hand manipulation, discovery, quests showed upā¦ the balance became more and more worse, before thatā¦ every month I managed to get D5 in 8 daysā¦ but after 40 card decks appeared I have lost the controlā¦ the game became more and more stuffed by randomity and hand manipulation, mindless recycling of cards and mana cheat. After Astalorā¦ I have lost the controll completely for the first timeā¦ but since DK addedā¦ lost 2 bonus starsā¦ and now I can get only Plat 10 or 5ā¦ and that is not fairā¦ I have worked for my D5 by hard workā¦ and wonāt accept them to take it away like thatā¦ I am just getting tired of all thisā¦ DK is a perfect encounter for Paladinā¦ and I play only Paladinā¦ not because I believe it is the BESTā¦ only because I chosed it to masterā¦ because I LIKE ITā¦ I played for funā¦ not to be the bestā¦ but after these changesā¦ I feel it completely hopeless to get back what I already hadā¦

Iāve played physical MTG for years. There is the same algorithm. Crappy cards in the start, then the code behind forces you to loose. Iāve lost so many games that way, that I stopped counting and eventually gave upā¦

The algorithm does not āchoose matches for you to winā, it chooses an opponent who it thinks has the same skill as you. If you lose, you lose rating and get matched up against another person who has a similar rating as you at that moment. This continues until you start winning around 50% of the time.
I wish that would be trueā¦ but canāt believe it anymoreā¦

I do think itās true. There are two main factors to consider here.
The power creep/factor of the cards: the answers to your threats are simply better, some would say swingier. Playing the correct card or two may completely reshape the board.
The skill of your opponent: most people playing are as good or better than you and they want to win too.
And so what happens when two equally skilled opponents are matched one against the other is this constant tug of war for the state of the board. Eventually, the winner will be the one who has not made a mistake and had better/more appropriate answers.
This is especially apparent in Arena.
Arena is at its easiest on the weekends. You can practically feel the skill gap. People giving you favorable trades, wasting cards from their hand when they could answer your threats with their board, etc.
When the balance will existā¦ THEN tell you can tell who is betterā¦ until Druid can get more than 60 armor above his 30 HPā¦ and there is no Plate Breaker in the core setā¦ there is no balanceā¦ until Priest can recast every deathrattle minions effect instead of max 5ā¦ there is no balanceā¦ until Warlock can kill you by OTKā¦ there is no balanceā¦ until Mage can recycle his big spells 4 or more timesā¦ freeze everything 6 times and get a lot of armorā¦ there is no balanceā¦ Not to mention DK which was just added and already over buffedā¦ THESE things are killing the gameā¦ Fortunately a lot of these will dissapear next month when the new expansion and rotation will take placeā¦ hopefullyā¦ Until these unbalanced mechanics existsā¦ this game is not skill basedā¦ just power and overpowerā¦
This algorithm keeps you from winning in BGs as well, it is beatable, mainly because is made by people and is predictable, but still can screw you up badly, especially in the part which prevents you from getting the needed type of minions if you play certain heroes.

Wellā¦by your logicā¦if druid, priest, warlock, mage and DKās, and for a fact the other classes as well are so OPā¦then the game is actually balanced. Overpoweredā¦for sure, but balanced. I only think warrior is lacking a bit right now but pirate warrior still wins games.
Itās 100% true that the game is rigged / fixed / forcing you to lose. Iāve been saying this for yearsā¦ There are days that the game will make you lose no matter how well you play. Itās gonnna counter your deck, your class or give the opponent the best answer possible whenever they need it. And itās so visible when you play a lot itās acutally disgustingā¦ I donāt mind losing in a fair game but losing because I lost the āinvisible coin flip of an algortihmā is just stupid. Whoever designed it like this I give you a sarcastic ājob well doneā you enemy of true good fun.

Blizzard is over. GTA 6 will be announced soon, and in two more years it will be released. After that, who will need them crooked crafts Rajah from Activision? We all just finish playing something that was one good, but everyone will remember it as an online casino.
The game is not rigged. Itās just full of good players who want to win at any cost.
The human algorithm at work.
I have to agree lately getting only 2-3 wins on arena with the best classesā¦ofc i do miss all the best cards ā¦warrior riffs and shaman (that card). only class that doesnt feel biased is priest wow i wonder why, cos just get enough steal cards and take opponents best cards = win eazyā¦ i have to facepalm thatā¦

The game is SO SO RIGGED!!! You canāt win if you are normal player 
And the report system is funny There are 3 options:
- Inappropriate name - Lol, Blizzard is already checking them, so no reason to report.
- Inappropriate chat - I reported one player that befriend me so he can trash talk to me, so report didnāt work. Blizzard told me that if I donāt want āInappropriate chatā, than I should not accept friends!!! Problem solved and useless report option.
- Cheating - Well Blizzard love cheaters and they never do a thing about them ā¦ no answer, no action ā¦
So overall the game is P2W and Blizzard donāt care about you, unless you pay
