Re: A Tutorial to explain how to be JM should be in the game

I always thought the JM was random. But it's not.

When you're last in selection list, you have the JM badge, but you're not guaranteed to be JM. It's seemingly random.

However I was in a duo and for 12 games in a row I was the JM. Nothing random about that. If random, it's both 😇 a statistical impossibility, and (b) an indication that Respawns method for seeding the random number generator is flawed.

  • @DarthValtrexRandoms more often than not pass it to me and in those cases I feel compelled to drop hot. :P

    @Aegis_KleaisIf you are last in selection and choose your legend then you'll be JM but if you let it select automatically then it will go to someone else but I agree something is flawed as I can be JM all night.

    @Aegis_Kleais Not random at all if someone actively picks a legend. The last to actively pick a legend is always gonna be the JM. So if the first guy actively picks his legend and the others dont, he is gonna be the JM, same would be the case if first and second guy would actively pick their legends; second guy would be JM and so on. If no one actively does so, then it’ll randomly decide.

    @apostolateofDOOM I may or may not have the same problem, especially if I’m doing well. I’m fairly relaxed though if they ping some place I go. I’d say the only place I don’t like is cage. That place gives me nightmares.
  • As far as I know if no one picks a legend and all went automaticaly then it's still the last one in the list, and it's not random.

    The mechanics of JM literally mean nothing anyway as 90% of the time you find yourself being the JM regardless of who starts as it.

    That other 10% is usually a instant nose dive straight out the ship and more often than not followed by a trip back to the lobby. At which point the cycle repeats again and you'll be JM. XD
