Three priests in a row have beaten me not by skill, but by randomly generating Dead Man's Hand from my deck and not having any of their key cards milled. I usually hit at least 5 cards from them, and I never hit Raza, Kazakus, Anduin, Velen, or Medivh. The stats on this are basically impossible, but it keeps happenjng. Under no circumstances was I not the better player in any of those losses, but because Hearthstone is not a skill based video game, it allows the worse player of the two to win by randomness instead of rewarding the better player. Games like this all inevitably fail, and they should. Multiple pros have quit over this trash, and more will follow. Your reward for getting good at Hearthstone is not a higher win rate; it's losing to bad players by random charity.

This is called "Mario Kart syndrome", named after a pure failure of a series where the worst players are the only ones to gdt good items, and I can safely conclude anyone calling this design a skill-based philosophy will not be successful in life. There is NO standard where anyone can call randomized charity wins a product of skill, both in video games or the real world. Hard work and ethic are the main drivers of success, not coin flipping.
