BG is rigged so whats the point

last time i will ever post on here this game is utter garbage and totally fixed so what the point in playing on and where exactly is the fun to be had

i dont play ladder , to many net decks and … (insert expletive)
so i just play battle ground but its become so apparent that the game is rigged so im quitting that crap too
often i sit watching someone make it to rank 5 on 9 mana while not having lost a single game ? how is that possible , on the same line ive literally gone full turns in succession looking for a tribal card of what ever im playing and not finding any while my partner in the same game see’s everything i need and nothing of hers , while some player is sitting top loling at getting everything they need exactly when they need it , point of fact chose n’zoth 2 games back round 8 b4 i saw my 1st death rattle , you8 might call that bad luck but its every time and if blizzard would care to look at the times ive chosen him ive been out in 7th place 8 times out of the 10 ive picked him with 0 death rattles on my board , oh and lets not mention in the same game when i did get some d/r on the board the fish was the 1st to die in every game till i was out of health , if true rng is holding fair the odds of this keep happening are miniscule , and finally if you need more simple proof of pre-determined outcomes to battles the achives are handed out b4 the fight even starts so the game know whos won b4 you do

So, what would be the point in rigging the game?
You think a giant company like blizzard care about you winning or losing?
If anything they would want you winning, so you would spend more time online and hopefully spend some money.

battlegrounds is always going to be an RNG fest, so take your tin foil hat off

Yep they’re targeting you, makes sense. Even said yourself that your opponents are getting good luck, so it is literally just you being singled out.

The battles are decided as soon as the buy turn phase ends, you are just watching the animations play out, that’s not new information.

that is true, but having the achievements flash up at the start adds to the conspiracy, so blizz need to make them happen at the end.

But I like to compliment people on the shininess of their hats :star_struck:

Actually I do not believe that rigging games in BG is difficult.

Another point - people usually attack people for being paranoid: “You are being singled out, you are the one specifically targeted by Blizzard.” And that is nonsense. If anything, we all are affected, but maybe some of us are more sensitive to it, or maybe being unlucky actually exists (I am one of those people).

I do believe that BG is rigged in one way or another. Rounds are decided at the beginning, but sometimes it feels like the whole game is decided at the beginning. Especially with tribal heroes (Jaraxxus, Patches, Flurgl - or whatever the name is). You pick him and what happens - sometimes you see the first Murloc (or whatnot) on turn 8, effectively disabling your ability, thus making you significantly weaker. I am not a programmer, but setting a coefficient to the player at the beginning for the ammount of Murlocs being offered - I guess that would not be too difficult (remember that the game has Zephrys already).

Sometimes you ride the RNG, sometimes it beats you down, but I do not believe, that it is just RNG.

And to this day I do not understand the logic in who goes first in the round. I counted some of the games - I went 4 - 5 games going second - usually losing them because of buffs or whatever. Today I ended up 2nd, because the guy went first three times in a row going for the Crown. The game handed him the win…

Whereas I believe having average luck, i.e. “Sometimes you ride the RNG, sometimes it beats you down”, shows that it is just rng.

I’ve still never heard of 1 reasonable reason as to why it should be rigged against the players. For I get, make it more fun, sucker them in so they play more. But why would they rig it so if you pick a tribal hero, they don’t show up, making you feel disheartened with the game and stop playing? I know if I get a bad dice roll more often than not I’ll close the game and do something else.

Yeah 1 in 8 chances should never happen…

or ur just super unlucky like me.

  • last round, ive got a poison murloc board with a nice amount of health & golden bran while im fighting against elementals.
  • got terrible treasures, but picked the one i thought would help the most. the one that refreshes your current gold count.
  • spent those 20 coins looking for ANY murloc battlecries, but found none.
  • lost the game, 'cause i couldnt keep up with my opponents treasure. dont remember what it was, but it made their cleaves devastating.

I don’t know if the game is rigged (or maybe it is in some Black Mirror kind of way), but I do believe that the ‘random’ could be programmed a bit better. I came across this thread after a match I just recently played; I managed to get a Ghastcoiler while having Khadgar in my warband. In the 3 turns of my life and of me having Ghastcoiler, the first turn summoned all Scallywag. Second turn, Unstable Ghoul and Scallywag. Third turn, Unstable Ghoul and Scallywag. Of about 25 deathrattle minions, only two were picked out of three turns while 1, of which, was picked 4 times. I’m well aware that loops can happen in a game of chance, but at some point some things are better off omitted.

Hearthstone is not rigged in any sense of the word,
If you’re losing, then someone else is winning.And guess what, it may happen several times in a row.
But people tend to focus on the the negative because it hurts more, I suppose.

The same way how in Arena, you may draw a good starting hand or you may not, which in the latter case means you’ll be playing catch up. So what? It happens.

So if I get you right, the game should do a random roll, then check whether the result is within some range of probability and reject it when the initial random roll was a very unlikely outcome?

With real random rolls, weird stuff happens. It is indeed possible to program a computer to omit those weird things. That gives players like you the idea that it is more “real” random … but the thing is, in reality such an algorithm is actually less random.

If you are playing a game with dice, do you have a house rule that after three consecutive 6’s, rolling another 6 does not count?
