Hit rank 300 in Marvel Snap today. It’s mostly more of the same with ZabuDeathHawk but I am getting more humans again which is nice. Maybe something changed on their end? Or Mmrs are higher after some time? Also changing decks seems to change my opponents. Is there data for that? https://t.co/Cj01TBP74v

@Educatedcollins I swore I noticed that too, with the cards played by my opponents (maybe just the bots?) varying based on what deck I was playing.

@Celestalon Yeah it’s possible the bots become adjusted while the humans players don’t. Definitely have bots playing similar cards as me when it didn’t make it any sense

@Educatedcollins @Celestalon I think it's just a form of bias where you think you see it but in actuality it's just random still. You might not notice the games that don't feel like "rigged" matchmaking but it seems very unlikely this is happening from my knowledge

@derajn @Educatedcollins Absolutely possible it’s in our imagination. Does seem potentially a thing though, given their other sneakiness with bots.

@Celestalon @Educatedcollins I think it would be technically difficult to implement (deck clustering on the fly and choosing a deck based on it) and require a lot of unnecessary custom rules for something not really worth setting up, which is why it seems really unlikely. Knowing Tian I just don't see it lol

@derajn @Educatedcollins "Knowing Tian, <absurdly complex thing> just doesn't seem likely to me." Haaaave you met Tian? (Also, it could just be as simple as "pick a random deck within 50 CL of the player's deck")
