I'm trying to figure the luck thingy.

Does Att:Def 57:43 mean you won 57% of your attacks and failed to defend 43% of the attacks made against you?

If so, do these percentages take into account the relative advantage you had in the roll? That is, one is more unlucky to lose a 7v4 than a 7v6, so shouldn't that count for something in the luck count?

I understand how the luck factor is calculated and it's a great add to the game, but I have one question. What role does the luck % have on your rating and points that you win, if any at all?

None whatsoever. It is purely informational.

Shouldn't such a computational method imply that the average of the luck of all players would be exactly 50% (ignoring rounding)? My feeling so far is that there is a great majority of players with less than 50% luck which is kinda weird. Out of the top 25 players there are only 2 of them lucky. And if you look at random profiles you'll rarely find a lucky one.

I'd guess you have a wrong percentage table. *wishes for skrumgaer to miraculously appear and count the correct percentages*

Ryan I presume you start with a score of 50. Otherwise zero expected value would settle to zero.
