RNG!!!

So arena, a team with Ben leader -17% dodge. Concentrating fire on Rey. A slow rey so she gained foresight rather later.

Dodge, dodge, dodge, dodge, hit, dodge, dodge, dodge, dodge, hit.

I know usually RNG it's a bit rigged to favor of defending team in order to compensate the bad AI but this was way too much.

    You must be a new player. This is a topic from january of this year that has been beat to death. Suffice it to say that GW has static seeds based mostly on characters used and arena doesnt. Nikoms is correct


    Is it a language barrier? Where did I say that there are not different RNG involved in arena and GW? I said that it's not possible to have an objective statistic on the RNG in arena because they are different and there is no way to actually have the same conditions for a large number of fights to actually say "it has been ojectivelly proven" bla bla.

  • And yeah, if a 17% chance to dodge character can dodge 4-5 attacks in a row then your RNG is flawed.

    And guess what: i fought the same team in the next match. only 2 dodges out of 8 attacks (foresight not included). from a 2% dodge character. in 2 consecutive matches.

    Please learn math, statistics and probability.

    If a character has a 17% chance to dodge, and has already dodged twice in a row, what his chance to dodge this time?
  • 0.4913% chances to happen the 3rd time. The 4th? 0.08% chances.

    Impossible? No. Mostly improbable? For sure.

    ... 17%. That's the number he was looking for. The odds of a dodge occurring on any given attack is 17%. It doesn't matter what happened in the past. The odds for the next attack are always 17%.

    The probability of dodging the next 3 attacks is 0.4913%, however that doesn't change the fact that the odds of dodging the NEXT attack is still 17%.

    Thanks Captain Obvious. But that's not the point.


    Actually, that is exactly the point. And yet, you keep missing it. It's fine, you can continue to insist that the RNG is rigged. Or you could simply face the fact that sometimes it works in your favor and sometimes it doesn't, simply because it's, well, random.

    I am not going to waste any more of my time in this thread since no amount of math, common sense or statistical support is going to sway you (and a few others) away from the position that the RNG is rigged (which, in case you missed it, would mean that it is rigged in another player's favor...or, if you like, yours when your team is on defense, since all arena teams belong to a player). But I am sure you are also convinced that it is only rigged against you.

    May the force be with you.
