Just because your deck doesn't have answers to a certain archetype doesn't mean said archetype is a "no skill" deck. Instead of making a "i hate this deck they always win" post, instead ask "Hey all, what cards should I put in my deck to combat ____?"

@Plexus#24206:
What's strange is that they haven't implemented a rating system for your opponent. You +1 or -1 them after a game. And you accumulate a rating over time.I bet you're wrong. I'm sure that hard control and nexus players will have a worse rating than ropers. No one likes this, besides who plays.
Obviously, it's going to get abused and people are going to get -1'd just for the deck they play or whatever, but that's going to be relatively consistent across the player population. Whereas players consistently -1'd for roping are going to have much worse ratings than average, and that's an easy target for the devs to look into as those players get reported.
It's so simple.
^ This. People would NOT use a system like that as it was intended, and that's a lot of extra work for our support team.
Report them! We do take action, you just don't see it happen. ALSO, when you report them with details/game logs, that is more data for us. We love data. Help us help you pls.
That being said, do you think reducing the timer for turn 1 would probably be a good idea? Easy way to speed up the game without losing anything. In almost all cases, that turn should take no more than 5 seconds, so cutting the timer in half or something seems like a win-win.
In s case where you’ve got an experienced player using a deck they’re familiar with, yes turn 1 can & should be quick. But there are lots of cases where that shifts: new players need to read the cards in their hand turn 1, just to see what they do. So might an experienced player drafting an unfamiliar set, or running a new deck that they copied off a list. The other day I took 10-15s to think on turn 1 when my opponent dropped a Mobilized District as their first land (Are they really on a Colorless deck? What’s that list likely to be? What’s my plan against that? etc). And the risks of shortening the time here are harsh; getting auto-passed through turn one and missing your land drop (or getting flustered and playing the wrong land) is a huge setback for the player.
I get that players that tank forever to decide to drop a Mountain are annoying, and I’m not giving up on finding a way to help that, but there’s a lot of splash damage to consider here.
The most common reason for delayed responses like this is that your opponent is still loading in. Once you’re paired, we let whomever loads first into the game, possibly before the other player has. So if there’s a delay here it’s most likely that they’re still loading rather than alt-tabbed.
Hey all, sorry I haven't been around to give a full introduction here. As Lexie says, I've been a bit busy over the last several days. As others upthread have linked, I've been around for a while (since before the initial public reveal), previously leading the cardset team (which is why I was the dev in Arena's announce video for WAR). The new role is a lot of fun, but has also put a lot more on my plate, which hasn't left enough time for jumping in on all the threads (like this one) that need a response. Once I can get things calmed down a bit with the transition I will have more time for that, so expect to see and hear more from me in the future.
Great question! After a bit of thinking I'm sure I could Land on a choice.
Players who were ranked Bronze or Silver in either Constructed or Limited during War of the Spark Season 1 incorrectly received Ravnica Allegiance packs as part of their seasonal rewards. Players can contact customer support to receive the correct packs.
Stu Aitken was the director of the trailer, but still, SO STOKED.
SO
P.S. IT'S BEEN FOUR DAYS, people. Two of those days were weekend days. Chill. :relieved:
I assume from your response you already have them, but I do have the logs available if you need them, let me know.
Is it possible I would receive any kind of compensation for it? As a new-ish f2p player (aside from the starter $5 bundle) the 5k gold for a draft does hurt me a bit. Should I submit a ticket?
Submitting a bug report with those logs would be helpful; we have the server logs, but there's additional info in your client logs. And definitely submit a ticket for reimbursement for something like this.
Incidentally, before this I had left the game open (inactive) for a relatively long time (probably not more than a couple hours), and then the first time I tried to queue into a game I got an error saying I needed to re-authenticate, kicked me to the home screen after I selected reconnect but I assumed the queue was cancelled successfully.
Edit: Also thanks for the reply, I hope it can be resolved :D as a developer, imagining the pain of solving a network bug like this one seems to have been sounds very annoying.
Thanks for the followup; that's the kind of scenario we suspected might be involved. It seems like, due to the server communications issues we were having, you ended up paired into 2 matches at the same time. Thanks again for the report, and we'll keep digging in to how this could happen.
If you’re on a Turkish version of Windows, change your region in Windows to English then re-start the client. (There’s a wacky bug related to the fact that Turkish uses a different Unicode character for the letter ‘I’)
If that’s not the case, and relaunching isn’t fixing things, uninstall and reinstall should work (don’t worry, all of your collection data is stored on the server; you won’t lose anything by uninstalling.)
Yup, this is a bug. You can just re-submit the same deck (don’t need to swap to another), but you will need to submit again for edits to take.
Thanks for the report; this is a weird one. A couple engineers were looking into the logs here, and it looks some server disruptions we were having during this time were likely responsible. Just prior to this, did you happen to cancel and re-queue for matchmaking, or wait a longer-than-usual time in matchmaking? Knowing that would help point to how this might happen.
