The issue of bad tiles and whether they are fair has been debated and researched extensively.
TL;DR: tiles are random and unrelated to what heroes you bring. The sample of 5 boards you see each day in the raid tournament is far too small to reach any conclusion about them being unfair or predetermined against you.
Some light reading:
I experienced in raids that if I leave out one color of a hero - e.g. green - and add e.g. another yellow hero, the share of yellow stones is way beyond average and the amount of green stones is increasing…
So the computer/randomizer seems to take the setup of heroes into account in raids which from my perspective is totally unfair and should not happen.
I have a lot of videos to prove that. it is not a gut feeling.
I would be interested what the dev team of SGG says about this.

Raids 101-300 are here
Raids 301-500 are here
TL;DR (with updated numbers):
Verifying whether raid tiles are random when color stacking.
Current games seen: 500
Current tiles seen: 17,500
Probability of drawing tiles of stacked-into color: 20.02%
95% Confidence interval: 19.4% to 20.6%
Conclusion: Looking completely fair

Detail:
The question of whether SGG adjusts tile probabilities against color stackers in raids is a very common debate on the…
There’s an easy way to find out if the boards truly are biased. Screenshot your next 600 starting boards and count tiles of each color. Do 100 with a rainbow team and 100 with a stacked team of each color. Then figure out the distribution and see if there is any statistically significant difference in the color distribution.
I think you will find the same results as everyone else who has already done this and posted their results here, namely, that there is no difference
