Playing less and less. Tired of Fixed Wins and Losses.
I play over the board Magic three days a week, about 18-27 a week in total. In three weeks of play, I'll have one or two games that were landslides. I lose, no chance. It happens.
On MTG Arena, EVERY TWO OF THREE GAMES is a landslide, where one person has absolutely perfect cards to match anything you could possibly do, or gets ridiculous draws in dramatic contrast to your horrible draws at crucial moments in the game.
I'm so tired it and find myself playing less and less. I know I'm not the only one that's seen this. Streamers complain about it to thousands of followers. I don't know how WotC isn't embarrassed of the product they've put out.

Exactly, new and veteran players have been telling Wizbro for years that they need to have truly randomized draws and match making, but the company refuses to listen. Instead their customer service reps try to gaslight players with canned responses claiming they've been "thoroughly tested at length", and "are working as intended" - which is PRECISELY THE PROBLEM. They refuse to release any report from a 3rd party testing, or provide access to view algorithms. The scripting is comically blatant. No one has been able to replicate the horrid shuffler, or draws IRL. They seem to believe if the frustrate players enough that it'll force them to spend money to accelerate their e-card collections. Almost no one at any of my LGS is willing to spend time on Arena, they predominantly play Hearthstone instead. Brilliant strategy Wizbro!
