What MPQ Conspiracy Theories do you believe in?

-the retina scan screen can tell where your finger is hovering and will match away your next move. see also: mouse
why else would the AI match a color that it can't use?

-BH exploit cheat was an inside job
somebody knows somebody who said something and has been covering ever since. I heard about a guy who has a computer science degree and he says that it couldn't have happened if the code wasn't weakened first

-CS is just one person
just hope s/he's had their coffee today

-brigby is a BOT
how else can he remain so helpful and cheerful all the time? shouldn't he have snapped all over a release update thread by now?

    Cascades (and gem drops generally) are rigged in favor of the house.

    The AI knows what matches will trigger cascades and hints you away from them if you're taking too long to find a match.

    Proof: 1) The AI gets more "continuing from off screen" cascades than I do. 2) When I don't take the AI's hinted move and choose something else, I end up with a cascade a significant percentage of the time. When I do take the AI's hinted move it almost never results in a cascade for me. And if it does, it's a mini-burst that leaves them with a nice 5 tile match all lined up!

    Switch's passive scans the board for a match-4 in your colors or a match-5 and places her countdown to ruin it.

    I don't care what anyone says, I'll believe this until I stop playing.
    Absosmurfly, 100% w/o question, this is correct.  Or it'll just place it so there's an immediate blue match and 'poof'.

    I am 100% sure that the AI knows which match I want to make and whenever Switch is on either team generates her CD in exactly the place I was going to match. I think a combination of reading my eye patterns and secret finger conductive mind reading tools is how its done

    I believe the AI knows what tiles will fall in what position and makes matches that will give them cascades, totally.

    I was just playing a match and Rags used his power to charge a couple green tiles. Here's the display:
    C x G
    x G x
    x G x

    There are two different matches that match the Charged green tile, giving the AI more damage and green as, but it matched the three non-charged green tiles, resulting in a cascade of a match 5 (actually it was a match 7, but, ya know). So...why would the AI not match a charged tile? Do they not register a charged tile differently in their code?

    Juggernaut's Unstoppable Crash specifically targets your tiles, particularly IM40's Recharge.

    All of this grinding in PVE with 5-minute matches due to ridiculously high scaling is really just an attempt for them to give me some form of tendonitis.
