Finding a match in RANK
Why does it depend which Hero your playing to find an appropriate match? I can be playing as Wallnut finding match after match, then as soon as I play as Solarflare it finds it difficult to match. I'...

There are a lot of algorithms at play in the background in this game.
I don't think very much is truly random.
Do any long-time players remember when Cornucopia used to spawn The Great Zucchini 75% of the time.
Or back before it was called conjuring, whenever you drew a 'random' card, 75% of the time it was the latest event card.
Most of these things have been adjusted over time to be more random (maybe truly random), but I still get matched up with specific heroes based on the deck I'm using.
*I would very much welcome a developer correcting anything that is incorrect there.
I also remember that it was "kinda" easy to summon a second Cornucopia FROM the Cornucopia that you just played. But I mostly think that it was due to the lack of cards back then. (Less cards mean better odds of getting something awesome)
I highly doubt that the programmers were like...
"HI HI HI, let's make the code in a way so that when a Cornucopia is played, 75% of the times will spawn a legendary."
"YES!! And when it spawns a Legendary plant, 75% of the time will be The Great Zucchini"
"Zucchini? But why?"
"Duhh, because I hate aggro decks, and because I can code it that way"
"Ok ok, but what about the other 25% chance?"
"HI HI HI.... it will be... A SECOND.... Cornucopia.... BWHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!! >:D"
Interesting,
I have never received a second Cornucopia. But a lot a times i get Zucchini and Dark Matter Dragonfruit, but I think it is very influential that there are few amphibian plants. But it is true, you almost always get another legendary with Cornucopia. It's greattalking about Cornucopia, don't bothering you that a first Pineclone change the legendary in the other lines? It's kind of like you're lucky, but you're not lucky. XD
I remember those times.. as I was playing then also..
But yes I think they did use those legendaries to be spawned in those incidents - why? because of Garg Feast, 3 powerful Zombies summoned perhaps the solution was to get 2 legendaries in that instance to fight back? So yes, I do believe that wasn't random, but programmed. Bit like what is happening elsewhere in the game. They the developers think they are balancing the game. But I don't think it is.. it brings in too much random, or (some call it luck) I call it, manipulation. I alter my deck due to the current meta being played - and then my opponent gets cards that no way did he have in his deck, as they do not come with that Hero, or card.. But hey, I'm supposed to be able to deal with that? when I can in no way prepare a deck to fight against it? That means skill doesn't count.. but card drawing is everything, for luck to win. I'd not like to rely on luck.
- In a sense, but that was a problem all the way back to when we were playing with physical cards.
The skill in these games has always been building a deck that have you the best chance of giving you useful cards, and knowing how to play the have your dealt.
The random nature keeps the game honest, in a sense. If we could all just stack our decks in the exact order we'd like, we'd be seeing the exact same games all the time. And while we would probably be seeing more skillful builds, the skill during the match would be brought to a halt.
It's a trade offNo the random nature doesn't keep the game honest. It becomes a game of probability, as in 10 games you lose due to cards being drawn that were in neither deck. But, on the eleventh game your allowed to win as they want you to keep playing, but not win game after game. If you win game after game then, the game is over reaching the UL. Except they are happy to have UL playing in rank to make it harder for those climbing.
I'd be interested to know how many cards UL have, and the percentage of Legendaries, Super Rare's as well as what set's Colossal, Galactic, because my theory is that there are way more in UL with the biggest amount of newest cards.
