So this new theory that match making isn't random and takes into account match up percentages seems pretty valid to me. If you're on a win streak you get a bad match up, if you're on a losing streak you get good ones.

Did some preliminary tests today. Any time I won three games in a row, I switched to Mage. 100% of the time I got a Hunter. Zero Hunters the rest of the time. I'd be interested if other people started collecting data on it.

You know I've been tracking this...I have lots of stats gathered in tracker. I'm convinced there is something dodgy in the matchmaking. I know the mind struggles to find causation, but the limited data pool (about 200 games) seems to bear it out.

On the one hand, I'm thrllled for the gold. On the other hand, I'm super annoyed that there is zero overlap and I'll have to play 15 games to clear this.

I had people tell me this on stream the other day when I was on a hot streak of like 5 wins up to rank 3 and 3 games in a row hit Chakki when he was rank 1. I dunno, I could believe that it pairs up on some sort of MMR instead of rank, but it's stupid. If you're going to do things like not have win streak after rank 5 then ranked needs to match purely on rank, not on hidden mechanics. If you're going to use hidden mechanics like an mmr, then keep the win streak all the way to legend.

WTF is up w/ slow priest, is there that much late game control on ladder? I was playing control warrior last night and last game I played was a priest w/ 2 thoughtsteal, 2 swd, bgh, mc, don't know why I bothered playing that one out. I'd be impressed if I just qued into the guy and he swapped decks, but I didn't. Who the fuck ladders with that shit? If you want to add to the tin foil hat, that happened while on a win streak.

Some people get all the legendaries for one deck and that's all they have cards to play.

I think Jaraxxus is a little bit better right now.

Also playing HS during the day is botville. I run into a lot less at night. Kind of lame since I stream during the day.

What in the absolute fuck, I have had unfathomably horrible luck all night tonight. I'm losing to the most random shit, my opponent always has the exact answer. Like shit that isn't common my opponent has. And my draws have been dreadful, have 2 undertakers, get 0 deathrattle minions the first 6 turns.

Playing secrets Mage on EU for 5 Mage win quest. I think the main reason this deck is good because the Mage secrets are so varied people make horrendously bad plays trying to play around them. Killing the worst minion first to test for Duplicate, playing bad minions when you have good ones to play around Mirror Entity, etc.

I'm getting mighty tired of the zoolock infestation.

Tap. Play all cards. Tap. Play all cards.

Such skill!

Zoo pretty much disappears once you hit rank 5.

Also I just played Loatheb 5 turns in a row against this Priest. Feels bad man, thanks Duplicate.

Don't forget Seatstory cup is on today still.

Main Stream, atm Theude vs Lothar -Twitch
Secondary Stream, Powder vs Trump -Twitch

I have 2 monitors, I'm just watching both in full screen most of the time. I'm taking this day to do a whole lot of nothing but watch Hearthstone!

This Trump vs Kolento match has been really good so far.

I hope Trump can pull it out, I feel he's kind of like Reynad (minus the salt) with his tourney performance.

Reynad and Trump lack the extreme Kolento levels of social awkwardness to regularly win big tournaments.

Late as usual... but to those complaining about UT... rofl.

This game needs more cards though. I didn't get into this game until Naxx came out. I have almost all the good cards. Only ones I'm missing that I want in order are are Gromm, Alakir Arch Mage, Edwin and . Also don't have Leeroy anymore but mieh and wouldn't mind a Malygos either but those are on my low priority to craft.

I've been running a pretty alright Warrior deck that I find really fun. Once I have Gromm I'll probably boot Faceless and gnomish inventor and put in two cruel boys. So far, mages fuck me.

Where are you guys pulling your match data?

Sorry for the shitty cropping job. I'm lazy. PS, this deck absolutely destroy's zoo. My OTK on ghoul or death's bite plus berzerkers is amazing against to the face board strategies. Thinking about booting gnomes for owls rights now.

Also here's my Thaddius deck. Once again, not super godlike or anything but its pretty fun. This one is in the early stages of crafting so could use lots of suggestions.
