"STOP BLAMING RNG IN HEARTHSTONE"

Well /v/? Is he right?
Why not just say "Stop blaming randomness in Hearthstone"?
I'm not going to read it, but no
any and all RNG effects tend a game towards a 50% winrate and are unsatisfying for competitive players, regardless of game
but what you really should be complaining about is why hearthstone has a competitive scene in the first place

It's just the state of the video game industry today. Casual players are the largest demographic now, so much so that even esports have been taken over by them (CSGO, DotA 2, League of Legends, Hearthstone etc).

League and Hearth
dirty whorespawn games, an industry defiled

People do just fine with RNG in Dota 2.

the article actually indicates that elements of skill allow certain players to consistently win which is inconsistent with random chance dominating the game

Dota 2 rng is much less prevalent and rarely is it a coin flip between winning and losing like hearthstone is

A 50% winrate isn't consistent.

It's pretty prevalent with Faceless Void and Phantom Assassin.

I feel bad for clicking that and even more for reading it.
What an absolute trash article.

Streaks are possible, but even people who have previously won tourneys peak at about a 65% win rate maximum, there's no such thing as risk management if all of the risk present in your dick you will eventually have to take
What is the winrate of the average player?
What is the winrate of professional players?
Please back it up with a source if you actually have stats.

>2 heroes in the whole game in a pool of 100+
>pretty prevalent

the problem with rng in hearthstone is that the rng can become completely broken.
rng in hearthstone is "Anything can happen" instead of "a select set of possibilities" with cards being able to summon themself.
One card(A) lets you summon any legendary when you use your power, another card can let you use your power twice. Meaning if on the first shot you summon itself(A), then on shot 2 you get 2 more legendaries. Unless you planned to counter this you are dead. However the counter to this won't get past turn 4 vs any other deck

Because you've gotta fit in with the gaming lingo you salty shitter
>That didn’t happen, and in fact Secret Paladin got some new potentially strong cards in Anubisath Sentinel
Stopped reading there. Top fucking kek this dude has no clue

There are varying degrees of randomness, but one thing is for certain: randomness lowers the skill ceiling in games.
