Probably MtG: Arena

I have a pod I usually play the physical card game with, but sometimes when we can’t get together that week I’ll boot up the online version and play some casual games

I’ve spent ~100 hours in it and I’ve decided I really don’t like it, and all for a single reason: the matchmaking

It is abysmal. I started up the game, made a shitty deck with the free stuff they give you, and go on a 15 game win streak. Over the course of my playtime I’ll be upgrading my deck, when suddenly out if nowhere I’m facing the sweatiest assholes with the most juiced decks that will waste your time if it means a 1% increase in win rate

After a week of this I realise that even the casual format has a deck ranking system - the more powerful cards in it, the harder the opponents you’ll face

Now, I’m all for this, if your deck was given a visual rank so you’d know the opponents you’d face before you spent resources to make it, but being faced with the problem of being unable to upgrade your deck, else you might be put in the same pool as those who’d played the game all their lives, is somewhat demotivating

Of course, going on 15 game win streaks where the opponent barely does anything isn’t fun either

I’ve been forced to use windows for some propriety software during uni. I got a laptop from IT with higher specs than my old one and:

1. It runs worse than my old shitty laptop
2. It boots up slower than my old shitty laptop
3. The battery icon was missing from the taskbar for some ungodly reason (I had to get IT to force an update)
4. The internet it gets is way worse than my old shitty laptop. I do not know why

So yeah I’m not using Windows 11 ever again

The bigger problem here is that the paper is stating an (as of currently) unsupported hypothesis as a definitive fact
