| Forceful_Dragon 08/21/18 2:03:22 PM #66: | Ulti, here is what you are saying: Skill is never ever a factor in hearthstone. Here's what we are saying: Skill is a factor in hearthstone. . Your "never ever" insistence borders on the absurd. It's clear to everyone else that there are elements of randomization and elements of skill. And that part of being skillful is making optimal plays based on the percentage chance of certain outcomes. Such as "my only chance to win is to kill their taunt and pop their piloted shredder and hope a doomsayer pops out". Yes, if that happened it would be based on a random effect, but it would still presuppose that the player had the skill to recognize their only possible out and to play towards that out. See also: "I can clear the board if I play twisted nether, but then they get to establish board again, so my only winning play is to play mind control tech and hope I steal the lich king". It's a losing play 75% of the time, but it's skillful to realize that in some situations twisted nether is a losing play nearly 100% of the time, so you take your chance where you can get it. . . So let's try this. Ulti, if you feel like making a post about RNG, I want you to go to random.org and randomize a number between 1 and 30. If you get a 1 then go ahead and make the post. And the rest of us will take it as the "ulti complains" card was the top card in your deck and we couldn't possibly avoid it. Otherwise put a pin in it until next time. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
