Block meter report
So in Phonecatss' YouTube video "BRAINS FOR BREAKFAST - PVZ Heroes" in his last game, 28:42, he rolled 8 one blocks in a row. I am not sure how it happened but this is pretty suspicious.

There is a low probability of something like that happening but unless exactly the same thing is happening constantly (e.i. getting 8 one blocks in a row) then this is how normal randomness works. Something that most people don't realize is just how high of a probability there is of a large number of low probability things happening, so they are often surprised when any one of them happens even though the odds of at least one of them happening is actually high.
Another thing that often surprises people is the fact that probabilities are independent. If you just went through 7 hits that caused one single shield segment, then the odds of the next one being only one are... exactly the same as before: 33%. Therefore the odds of getting exactly 8 one blocks in a row are the same as getting exactly 1, 2, 2, 1, 3, 2, 1, 3 but nobody would notice this particular sequence because it seems to be more random than 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 but the odds are actually exactly the same.
Huh, I'd keep an eye on the opponent's games
I have a HUGE problem with the way the block meter works. There have been way too many games than I lost SOLELY on the fact the I have blocked once (or not at all) and my opponent has blocked three times! And it's not because of healing, bullseye, or high hits, either! I'vecomplained several times, and have decided not to put any more money into the game until it's fixed. It needs to be more fair, like if you hit for 1 or 2, they get one block, 2-4, two blocks and 5 or more, three blocks. It's extremely frustrating to lose a game like this, and it's not very satisfying to win only because of it either. Also, I've lost in multiplayer more often than I've won because of this,
I have not used money in this game and most of times I win after enemy lost all three block meters. This started to happen somewhat after I reached lvl 40.
Most often when I'm one hit away from winning whole game and only way for enemy to survive is that he gets maxium block meter count and most of the times he gets it
I'm at level 42, and have been stalled there for a while. This happens even when I play players who are at or above level 40.
