Arena sucks

I just created an acount just to say this: your arena sucks. That's how angry I am (who cares anyway?)

- It says "Your opponents for an Arena battle will be selected automatically as three other players next to you: Weak, Medium, and Strong. Based on whether these players are above or below you in the ratings", so it suposed to match you up with enemies of around same level (deck strength) and it's not true because most of the time the enemy surpases me for 100 to even 1000 in deck strength. I have to lose at least 3 times to get one enemy near my level (more or less).

- Enemies allways get their best cards/combos at once and there's nothing I can do to keep up. Even an enemy with lower deck strenght allways have the best combo with the only epic mega achi cards he has and it's allways the first move they do, so even if my deck is stronger he still beat me unless I have the damn luck to have my stronger combo at first hand, wich happen once on a blue moon. WTF is that shit?

Delete the thread or whatever. You arena still sucks. I'm out.

I'd love for someone to crunch the statistics on this stuff but I totally agree. I'm always happy to be a barnacle and not a chump who spends money on such blatant psychological manipulation. Here's some things that SEEM to be true that you might find interesting.

-Your strongest card in your deck will be the one you see the least. Statistically improbable.

-Your enemy's strongest card will be the one you see the most. Statistically improbable.

-Your weakest cards in your deck will be the ones you see the most. Statistically improbable.

-You will often draw an entire hand of modifier cards, guaranteeing you can combo nothing. Statistically improbable.

Mix these together? The game is rigged against you to make you want to spend money. Playing free and riding out the bottom tier gives you a gameplay loop that would last for centuries before you could even be competitive. But you never will be.

Garbage in. Garbage out.
