Losing streak (NOT BUYING YOUR BATTLEPASS OR OTHER OFFERS!)

[PSN]

I am wondering how much have you programmed this game of yours to make me lose in order to buy your battlepass.
I am currently down from level 98 to 92 in a losing streak. Not 1 game won !
I will keep playing to see when I will eventually (IF I WILL) Win a game...if not... Uninstall and bye bye forever.

Yea you're not alone noticing this. Coming from a player that has made Infinite several times. Its just a waste of time get your gold and thats it. (im completely f2p as well)
I've done infinite a lot of times but seeing this stupid pattern couple of times made me just stop playing for it. Basically since a while just doing dailies and some conquest if i like the variant they put.

It's not the battle pass. If you have won a lot without losing, you will face either cheater bots or extremely lucky players (while you will be unlucky).

Solution: learn to retreat instead of losing a lot of cubes.

I've had it too, one of the things I complain about.

For me it boiled down to opponents just having perfect curve after perfect curve, no problems with any deck. whereas for me even with decks I had previously done good with, it was he worst draws possible every time. Also the locations just align with their decks or screw mine.

I get bad streaks can happen but sometimes the consistency is really fishy. You would think the games in these streaks wouldn't be so consistent, but its perfect draws and locations for opponent after opponent after opponent 20-30 games in a row and absolute diabolical draws for myself.

Really makes you think.

What it should make you think (and look up) is the mechanics of probability. Loss streaks like you describe are an inevitability given the number of games being played.

Firstly, maybe you should take your own advice.

The probabiliities of the perfect draws by the opponents I face defy any realistic probability, yet it happens.

Say every Tribunal deck I playa against in a month, every single one drawing their combo. The odds are so small yet it happens.

Secondly, I didn't argue against loss streaks. I argued against loss streaks under those circumstances. Perfect draws and locations by every opponent game after game? Oh look the Wong deck just happened to get Kamar-Taj, the junk deck just happens to get locations which limit space, the destroy deck just happened to get locations which benefit that, the Brood deck just happened to get raft etc etc you wouldn't expect to see this 20-30 games in a row, yet it happens. All perfect curves too.

You have to buy it if you want to compete at the high level. the game is designed to be p2w.

this game rewards risk aversion.
got an unfavorable? retreat.
never snap unless you know you are going to win.
when your opponent snaps on turn 6, never snap back and go for that 50/50, cheeky play.
climbing in rank involves more retreating that winning.

Absolutely this. If your goal is to climb to infinite you have to play this way.

It's much more fun not playing like this though. Taking risks and sometimes just letting hands you know you will lose play out just to see what happens.

I buy battle passes, and I get these losing streaks. Usually after winning streaks, so statistics says it's normal.

The people that deny the fact that the game is rigged are either working for Second Dinner or just amazingly ignorant. I had a game recently where I played against a zoo deck and the way I lost was so stupid. On turn 6 I was winning all 3 lanes and the bot played a Shana in the left lane threw out a electra to my right lane which was the only lane i had 1 costs at then hit a 50/50 between nebula and blade which of course they hit my nebula making me lose the lane. Then their marvel boy out of all their 1 costs cards that were spread out between all 3 of their lanes perfectly hits all 3 +1's on the middle lane causing me to lose that lane by 1. Contacted support and told them i was done playing their rigged ass game because the possibibilty of that exact scenerio is so low. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ like that is something I see on the regular especially climbing ranked and you just hit a wall and no matter what deck you play you always get matched with a deck that counters it, get unfavorable locations, or cards and plays involving "rng" that pull the perfect cards out of its ass. This Reminds me of another time I had the location: the top card of your deck gets the power played here added to it. I threw a darkhawk that gave a +30 to a blade or something like that because they were playing a Arishem and of course the Arishem just so happened to pull a killmonger and shang-chi out its ass to sweep 2 lanes.

For some time I have been seeing suspicious things in this game, many games against players with a deck that counters mine (I mean very precise cards that can ruin a play) or areas that benefit the other more, even using top tier decks I cannot win 2 games in a row or in some cases I never win, you are not the only one who also notices these types of things, I don't know if it has to do with spending money or not but this game has something strange

[onedudesmind]

When i start playing to do my dailies i win 4-7 matches in a row then about 50% for the next 20 minutes or so after that i lose 80% of my matches. The longer you play the more EOMM punishes you.

no amount of retreating is gonna make the game go "ok you lost enough".

I wouldn't be surprised if PSN has to drop below 90 before he is allowed to climb back up again.
