    And I'm not saying saccades had anything to do, specifically, with what you thought you encountered. Just that our brain is not actually a reliable interpreter and "what we know we see", well, isn't actually true. It's kind of a non sequitur, don't mind me.

    I can’t remember if this has ever been talked about anywhere, but does hearthstone use MMR anywhere for its matchmaking?

    Because I’m getting really tired of constantly losing to the legend card back around ranks 10-8. Like, the last 10 games I’ve played have been that.

  • YiliasYilias Registered User regular
    Everyone has an mmr but it isn't used for all matchmaking. Below legend it does not use MMR, it just matches you up with someone close to you in star count. Above legend people are matched via mmr, possibly with someone below legend who was similar mmr.

    Legend cardback doesn't tell you anything about someone's mmr though. All it means is that in one of the previous 50ish seasons they got to legend.

    legend cardback means they played a lot of games for one season, not that they're actually good.
    honestly, if they're at rank 10 and bragging with their card back about legend, they're probably semi-bad tryhards.

  • fortyforty Registered User regular
    Or they didn't play for a season and are blitzing their way back up the ranks, or they just played to rank 5 last season and are just now playing again where the season rollover dumped them off. You really can't make any sort of accurate characterization about a random smattering of players based on their rank on one day.

    What I'm tired off is seeing fully fledged tier 1 decks when playing at Rank 24, because I've been on a hiatus since ONIK and I'm forced to play utter jank-decks.

    Not that I care because the card doesn't need to be better with a strong tribal tag, but how is Omega Defender not a Mech? Didn't we just get an article about them wanting the art to reflect the tribe?

    they've been on semi-hiatus
    their hiatus was much weaker than yours

    it's almost like... play frequency has nothing to do with how good your deck is.
    how could this possibly be fixed? not while capitalism yet stands, that's for sure.

    I'm amazed I didn't get a salty friend request after turn 4.5 from this Tavern Brawl game.
    According to the RNG calculator I had a 0.194% chance of not hitting his patron, less than 1/500.

    Maybe I missed this, but if I have a magnetic-enhanced minion out, and it gets bounced, do I get both cards back?

    Nope, just the original minion you magnetized it to (which is to say, not the Magnetic minion)

    Think of it this way, if you use Blessing of Kings on a minion and it gets Sapped, do you get the minion and Blessing of Kings back?

    That feel when you get a T5 Lich King vs a Shuddersham, which pulls you an Army of the Dead, but gets Hexed, but your Army pulls Hadro which ALSO gets Hexed

    And you have double Witching Hour in hand

    ...

    But you still win anyway because you have a 4/8 and 4/12 on board and you can just smack him in the fucking face

    And he drops Doomsayer so you just Cube em and keep smacking him.


    Full replay over yonder: https://hsreplay.net/replay/THnncoMJ97FSxuqGJGPJF4

    Ignore the misplay of not buffing the Ironwood Golem, we'll uhhh, say it was playing around MC Tech :D

    GOD what a rollercoaster of a game.

    I was FUMING when he pulled the double Hex out his ass but he must have been LIVID that he still lost.

    Shudder isn't strong enough or popular enough to necessitate a hate card directed at it. If we see a hate card it will be targeted at combo in general like Geist/Dirty Rat were.

    I know, but I can dream can't I?

    The main reason Shudderwock works is because Shaman has the perfect amount of coverage cards.
    • Draw: Mana Tide Totem
    • Board Clears: Volcano, Lightning Storm
    • Heals: Healing Rain

    If Shudderwock was a Rogue card, it wouldn't work because Rogue's lack Healing and AoE.
