Luck reprogrammed with 2010?

Just a curious question, has the questionable and without doubt most faulty and useless accounting of luck-percentages been modified with the change of the year? Because my "luck" has never been as bad as now - and I meet several others with similar statistic results. So, maybe the measure has been modified?

Last month, you had a luck average of 49.6%, which is a bit higher than the usual luck people get.

This month, you have 48.7%, which is a bit lower.


So what is all that fuss about?
Does it make you feel that much better when you complain here?

@mini: I know I have been. I stopped worrying about that.

@stupid (or whatever the 2nd person is best called): I did not complain about my luck. I had lucky games this month as well. I wonder why stats are being - from a subjective point of view of course - much worse for many players.

If I wanted to discuss stats altogether I would have questioned the braindead idiot that creates a stat that averages at 49.somthing and not 50... But that was not my point here. I seriously just asked a question wanting to know if figures had been changed resulting in lower numbers (if you weren't so outstanding retarded you could get the idea that this implies I don't think my luck is out of its usual way this month, just the numbers are).

how can 49.6% be average when 50% is "average" luck

That is the distinct secret of whomever created and programmed the stats. It involves top level math skills and very wacky views in the world. Basically you can place the average wherever you like, so the question is, why was 49.something chosen and what does that number tell us?

Are there any relations to 42?

The question for which 42 is the answer is a closely held secret and will not be revealed to the likes of you.

Like any semi-intelligent lifeform I know what the question behind the question to which the answer is 42 is. I still don't know why you would calculate to the base of 13...
