Entering The Hearthstone Zone

What’s poppin’ guys?! My name is Quinton, aka “SegmentedWhale”. I achieved Legend rank Season 4, and have the goal of achieving it every season from here on out. This is my first post to iHearthU. I wanted to cover a general concept that if mastered can greatly improve any players game. Let’s try to get into the zone.

I have to disagree this game is pure RNG nothing more. Sure some skill takes effect but mostly RNG. Getting in the zone not going to stop you from drawing nothing but 6+ mana cards for first four turns. Not going to stop your opponent from drawing every counter to your plays there deck has back to back.

Only thing that seems to work is walking away from the game. As you come back 10 min later and face mostly new players then before with decks that just might not match up to you, or where they make all the wrong mistakes.

In my 20 yrs of playing card game, I never seen / encounter so much RNG like in HS. Where whole games/winning streaks are won/lost on that solely alone.

I have to disagree with NytemareRulez, RNG does not rule this game. A good player only relies on RNG when there is no other good play. The reason why the top players are always winning is because they don’t rely on the RNG to win games. There is certainly a lot of RNG in the game, but good players limit their use of it, and only use it when it the odds are in their favor. There is a reason why the same players are making legend every season while others never have, and that is because they calculate every play and only rely on RNG to win if they absolutely have to.

That is completely wrong, take some of the top decks you seen, build it and try to play it. If you don’t get the cards they did or the hands/draw they had your not going to win.

Take for example Backspace Rogue I watch it used in Kill of the Hill, wins on T6 in 15 games I played with it, I had one win on T6 and mostly loses. Had nothing to do with me playing cards wrong, had everything to do with RNG not given me the right cards like it did for them.

Another example. You have a Rag out, they have 7 minions, rag ping the hero 3 turns in a row, had nothing to do with skill, but all RNG.

There is skill evolved with playing the right cards in your hand, and knowing when to go face(aggro) and when to trade (control) and knowing if your the aggro or the control turn by turn.

Despite that all RNG base. Getting the removal you need, the cards to you need to stop an aggro deck from winning T4/5 all about your hand/what you draw.

Every human being goes on tilt to some degree. Emotions will affect you whether you believe you are immune or not. RNG will also affect the game both in your favor and in your opponents favor. The decisions you make whilst playing the game are the true determining factors of a players skill.
Remember you only need to win 51% of your games to make it to legend.

“Take for example Backspace Rogue I watch it used in Kill of the Hill, wins on T6 in 15 games I played with it, I had one win on T6 and mostly loses. Had nothing to do with me playing cards wrong”

I think it’s a proof that RNG is used by bad players to say why they lose.

Just after that, you take the exemple of ragnaros, the most RNG card based in the game, dude, it as “Random” written in the card text, and it hits at random targets, of course it’s pure RNG…
