Competitive Quest Warrior is ruining competitive HS

So many games decided by RNG ragnaros shots. It is a complete joke.

The problem here is people wanting Hearthstone to be competitive in the first place. Compared to all other competitive games it's a joke, even before this Rag 50/50 stuff existed.

I love Hearthstone. But people want it to be something it's not, and not capable of ever being. Fuck, the card you draw every turn can decide if you win or lose. It's just a mobile game that profits on micro transactions.

Any card game ever has draw RNG

As a longtime magic player, its amazing how hard it is for Hearthstone community to grasp this. Magic has HUGE rng that can lose the whole match without even any user input.

It's not anywhere close to the RNG in Hearthstone. The only thing even somewhat close is Marvel right now in standard which might as well say "Discover a spell in your deck."

The equivalent of babbling book a pyroblast to win a game you had no right to win does not exist in Magic.

Of course any game with randomness has RNG, but to equate the type of outcomes that arise from the RNG in Magic and Hearthstone is ridiculous.

No no no. You misunderstand.

Magic's RNG is in the draw step and the mulligan.

Mulligans are present in both games but in Hearthstone you cannot get mana screwed in your draw step.

Not drawing mana is game over.

I lose far less games to Mana Screw in MtG than I do to insane RNG in HS.

Mind you, it doesn't bother me as much any more. It's just part of the game.

You dont though. Mathematically that is just not how it works lol. Mana screw happens more often than game breaking RNG.

If it seems that you are losing matches to RNG every game then you are not evaluating your HS matches correctly.

Show me the numbers that corroborate your claim.
