Wonderball: Our Savior!

This sort of video is the reason Bofur is the most entertaining BGs streamer. Game lagging out so much it's almost unplayable, throws away a 1k stat golden Kaly, doesn't rage about it or get pissed off, just has a laugh and carries on.

The greatest trick the ghost bug ever pulled was convincing chat he didn’t exist.

[@majorgoobie5123]

One time I got the ghost, fought someone, got the ghost, fought someone, and then got the ghost again (there was only one ghost the whole time). I just power leveled and blew out the lobby. I thought it was weird but was unsure if it was a bug or just some extreme luck.

They really should just disable animations like the kalecgos or hunter of gatherers buffs, or replace them with wayyyy toned down ones that are faster. I remember how often animation times could be used to skip opponent turns in standard and it was never really fixed, just improved on.

i dont even play this game anymore havent played in months but i still watch your videos every day!

[@BeefinOut]

Does understanding ghost-picking algorithms actually affect your gameplay, or is it just nice to know? Like, do you ever make conscious decisions with the intention of manipulating your ghost odds, or is that such a low-priority consideration that it may as well not be a factor?

[@bofur]

for sure it helps. There's a fair few times per day when you can weigh whether the next round is likely to be a ghost round or not depending on the hp pools of the bottom 4 people and whether or not they've fought ghost recently. If you can confidently say there's a 50+ percent chance that both other 2 people in bottom 3 are going to stay in the bottom 3 after the round and you're there with them, then you guarantee ghost and might consider tanking a round to go 4-5-6 really quick. Maybe less so in this meta, but it's a pretty substantial bit of info in certain times for bgs.

24:30 so to reach 15k you just need precognition I see.

If you cant get the ghost just become the ghost by selling all your minion.

I didn't realize that Patchwork counted as a high armor hero for quests.

[@dangerexplosian]

It wasn't like that when quest came back for this season this is a recent change

[@coolace1212]

Heads up Bofur, the algorithm keeps trying to push you out of my recommended. I watch every single day but if I miss one day cause I’m busy it’ll just erase you from my feed.

What is the ghost bug?

[@bofur]

short answer, it's an unproven theory that a certain setup of matchmaking RNG while existing in the bottom 3 causes you to be unable to be chosen for the next ghost. Basically, be in bottom 3 for 2 turns where 1 of the 2 other than you gets ghost, then a new player drops into 3 w/ you and the previous ghost-facing person, then that previous ghost facing person leaves the bottom 3 the next turn putting another unique player into bottom 3 which always gets ghost. With this pattern, we've seen 100's of samples at this point where only a handful of times we've gotten the ghost after those first 2 setup turns. Like 3-in-100 times. On a 50/50 chance... it's a pretty incredible amount of data that has a few people convinced that there's an underlying bug here. It's just nearly impossible to prove from a player POV. Or I could be a tinfoil hat salesman ;)

[@kreeperkiller3223]

@@bofur It's probably emergent behavior from the way the code actually prioritizes who fights the ghost. The combination of people dropping in to the bottom half every turn make you have less than a 50/50 to get ghost? Haven't paid too much attention to it but just a thought.
