Bad luck and luck spree
Is there something like that? I had like 3 games of insane luck and felt I could do pretty much anything. Lots of injured enemy players all rushes got in with barely any rerolls. Now I have had four or five games in a row with extremely bad luck. Rolling 1s and getting skull dice all the time. Have basically stopped using rush because even with rerolls it fails. While my opponent has the extreme luck I had before my bad luck spree. Has anyone else had this type of encounter? Makes it very frustrating to play.

Such is the nature of the dice friend. The tide ebbs and flows and eventually a bad run makes one feel like the fates themselves conspired against us from the very beginning just setting up for failure at that very moment... but this too shall pass.

Random is random.

The brain seeks patterns where there are none. The brain also falls victim to the gambler's fallacy and such.

However, random is still just random and will stay that way.

If you're new to BB, you're probably rolling too many dice. This makes you feel like a god when it works out but miserable when it doesn't. The power move and path to consistently good play is to roll as few dice as possible and still shoot for the same desired results as you wanted when you rolled lotsa dice.

Welcome to BB!

The true BB savant is the one that sets his pieces up so you minimize your rolls and maximize the ones your opponent must take to counter what you're doing.

That's when the dice become your pals though a bad streak will end the best laid of plans sooner or later.

That's blood bowl baby!

I mean dice is dice. That said you can help yourself by doing stuff that isnt a roll first as long as it makes sense. Standing certain guys up etc or it can quickly spiral out of control

Ugh, just last night I lost to this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Nurgle team that scored on the last turn of the first half by

1) Powing a blodger

2) Ball scattering 3 tiles over downed players into my 2 tackle zones

3) double gfi a pestigor into the end zone

4) another pestigor 5+ pick up, dodge off, rush, pass and catch...

He played equally poorly the 2nd half but I just kept getting diced.

Everything counts in large amounts.

Sometimes Blood bowl 3 seems to choose one specific area where you will be unluky with one team. I'm running 5 teams on ladder and my Chaos Chosen team has an amazig record of 32 ko recover rolls with only 5 success atempts. Does not happen with the other 4 teams I'm running.

So he took risk in the last turn, that must have stunned you. Did you see better moves for him ? So in the second half he also made the high risk moves that would bring great rewards. How can it be that your teams did get a match, you are so much better, those lucky coaches should have a league of their own kind. I feel for your discomfort having to endure this. Keep your spirit high Sir.

Oh, I forgot to switch the dice back to "random, and not totally biased and extremely fishy" mode after the last update. My bad!

Today I stopped playing this game for the same reason, luck is not random, there are games where the dice go crazy and only 1s and skulls come up. Mathematical probability disappears and therefore strategy.

Also, EVERY TIME someone complains about luck here in the community's forum, there are 10-15 autoresponders saying the same thing, which is just luck. Nobody rethinks anything.

I think that the game is not working well, something happens to it and they are going to lose many players because of this.
Nuffle bless and curses every one equally over time.
The joy of having 4 injured with in 2 turns, failing your first attack move with 4 red skulls and having your runner die on a gf, seeing the enemy doing 20 dodges with 6rolls and failing your own first attempt with 2 1´s

Nuffle is fair other times your the blessed one :D
