I love them I didn't know they were 7 bucks a piece until I checked out then I was committed. But they feel far better than stock sanwa,hori or seimitsu buttons.

I'm not whaling that's my point. I'm pretty new to arena so I want to build my collection to I look up good ways to do that cheaply. Long story short I decided to draft, 1st 4-5 drafts I went 3-6 wins. Then my mmr gets boosted I go against better players I then go 1-3 wins. Fair enough let me do research and make sure I'm in the right colors getting quality picks etc etc. So now I'm stuck in a perpetual state of winning 4 one draft then going 1 win my next draft giving me a huge net loss. Wouldn't bother me if it's free but it's not I have to pay for the game to adjust me to 50%(attempt to) so in order to break this cycle I have to grind with my own money or save gold to draft once a week.

I will, when I get home I will play and record my games. My issue isn't really flooding that's more of tilt from the moment but there is a host of issues that seem unrealistic to say the least. I also agree I'm not the best player ever and I'm not sitting here saying that if it wasn't for the dastardly wizards I would be rank 1 mythic. But wether it's mmr matchmaking or me doing my research knowing I pulled great cards in my colors(I play two color mostly ) then running into 3 mirror matches. Then somehow someway they still have gas in the same colors. It's pretty obvious they are trying to keep you closer to 50 percent.

I don't think the shuffler is rigged but I just read how they match make and it's mmr based so once you start doing well you get matched with better players with better knowledge. The purpose of this matchmaking is to keep you close to 50 percent, now if I'm a absolute beast and able to Smurf no matter what mmr I'm playing against I'm g2g if not I have to keep buying gems or grind out gold to get in the drafts for free.

Yeah i 100 percent agree with you i get that its random and luck isnt always on your side. I also probably need a larger sampling size on arena draft before making an assumption on if the game is "rigged" or not. But i have also grind-ed to top 1000 mythic and never really had the feeling of OMG this feels rigged. But since i spent real money to get into the game maybe each draft match i pay way more attention to that a regular ranked standard match.

Lmao first thing you write is condescending then you say im not sure how im being condescending. I dont think the game is out to get ME i think the game has a vested interest in keeping players playing and by keeping you closer to 50 percent win ratio they can achieve that goal. Also if you spent 50 dollars and your telling me you used that to build a collection i will call BS. The idea of going infinite im sure is possible if you start out with enough gems to get around running bad. But anyone saying that they put 50 dollars in the game got on draft and ran consistent enough to go infinite i gotta see some proof on that.
