What's going on with ToT?

SilverBride · October 19

I used to play a lot and I was pretty decent at it but I stopped playing because the ranking system did not make any sense to me, and I got tired of the frustration.

But a few months ago I felt like trying it again so I started playing a casual game every now and then. The problem is that no matter what decks are in play I lose almost every single game.

I did not suddenly forget everything I knew so I would expect to win at least some games, but I don't.

I feel like something is going on but not sure if it may be bots or add-ons or what. But something is wrong.

It's hard to say without additional details and context.

The general players being better is noticeable. My win rate has dropped from 90% to 80%. In the average game you are probably more likely to play against people who know how to abuse certain patrons and starting positions.

Well I expect to lose some games, since it had been awhile since I played and I am not real good at some of the newer decks, but I am learning. But I didn't expect to lose about 99% of my games, when I used to do much better than that in competitive.

Are there any patterns in what you or opponents are doing/choosing?

SilverBride · October 19

No patterns, but I have noticed that they seem to get good cards from the start. And the games have had a wide variety of decks being used so I can't tie it to any particular decks.

I also don't use the same decks every time but haven't noticed any being better or worse for how the game goes.
