Think u have lost a 3v2 with 4,4,4 v 6,6 rolls.That doesnt mean your luck is below the average,it means the opponents luck is way above the average for that roll.

ive also been wondering the mathematics behind "luck". Is it weighted by stack amount? Is it calculated per dice or overall number rolled? I tend to believe there is no "weight" connected to dice which I think skews the outcome. Meaning a 2v2 attack has the same weight on luck as a 8v8, which should be incorrect. I believe luck should be calculated based on dice rolled, or its deviation from the average roll of one die of 3.5.

It may actually be calculated this way in which i give props too Ryan. It would also be able to explain the author of this posts luck. Meaning that you likely rolled a little below average. (.425)*3.5*2= 2.975. Meaning that the expected rolls for your game were:

3v2 (8.925)
4v4 (11.9)
3v3 (8.925)
3v2 (5.95)

This may be poor math, if it is my mistake, I may not have the correct formula here for luck keep it mind it is 4am. Just trying to help.

BTW, this simply means that your opponent would have to have better then your luck to beat you each time. Assuming 50% luck:

Opponent rolls:
7
14
11.5
11.5

Meaning that he needed higher luck on his first roll to win it. Anyone pls correct me if my math is wrong but this is my understanding of it.
