Is there any cheat on this game?

[Andromed]

here is the thing I was playing skaven and my opponent was playing ork it was 5 turn from the end and it was 1-0 (1 for me) he got a lot of my players out because of KO or scars

I manage to get the ball and get it back on his fiel to make him spend some turn to go get my guy and then bring the ball back down.

so he rushed my guy and got it off the field. Alright no problem that happend the ball will land around there and he will still spend some turn going back down

Well apparently NO because the ball was send directly into the closest player that he had to my goal and he grab it because OF COURSE he made a 6 and scored like that.

so yeah a 6 can happend ok. But the ball that is being trow about 13 space below and land exactly on the closest player I find that very weird

No, there are no cheats or hacking. Just the RNG of the dice.

That's just...Blood Bowl. Managing the probabilities.

No, that's just the normal amount of unlucky. The ball always lands in the worst possible place for you.
One thing that is easy to miss is if the ball goes OOB near a corner, it could be thrown too far and go OOB on the other side, then it gets thrown in *again* and seems to go a really long way. There is an animation for it, but it flies by in <1 second.

Aww you got a hug from Nuffle! Welcome to the fold. You need to try some positive prayer and throw a teammate with the ball into the endzone so you feel better.

One of my matches as elven union, I suffered heavy losses in the first few turns, and seeing where it's going, I switched my caution off and proceeded to the unlimited elven bulshittery. I did things I never even thought about normally, in there. Like dodging through multiple tacklezones with several players in a single turn, picking up the ball under their noses, throwing it across half of the field etc - mostly it went smoothly, for a few exceptions. And I won 2:1. I'm pretty much sure my opponent was crying out of helplessness and tearing out their hair during that match lol.

Then my other matches I just could fail the simplies dodges and lose miserably.

The obligatory post in every edition of this game. No, there's no cheating.

Yes, you'll lose some games due to bad luck sometimes, and you'll also win some due to good luck (or your opponent's bad luck).

Since this game is supposed to be played in a League, you won't be losing or winning most your games because of bad luck. You'll have to learn to manage that. A single match is meaningless when compared to the entire League.

When the ball-carrier is pushed into the crowd the ball gets sent back in using the "Throw-In" rules, which means it travels 2D6 squares (up to 12 squares) in one of three directions. If it lands on a player, that player can attempt to catch it... if not, it will bounce, and can still be caught if it bounces to someone.

It depends on how you're defining "cheating". People have found plenty of methods to play the game unfairly in each of the three editions thus far. BB3 has had quite a few timer-related issues that people have deliberately abused, associated with things like pausing and disconnections, as well as tricks to screw the other player out of SPP or themselves out of injuries with disconnections during apothecary dialog choices, etc.

Even when there is a server involved in games there is always a question of what responsibilities are given to the client and which to the server. People like to assume 100% is server-side, but that is very, very rarely the case. Anything that is relegated to the client side, even partially, leaves room for people to find snotty little ways to abuse the system.

So... I'd shy away from saying "There's no cheating". There's no openly known methods for cheating the dice rolls, certainly. With no replay files, it's tough to help people figure out what happened to them, though.

I am adamant there are people somehow cheating the dice in this game.

The law of averages would say that by now I would have rolled high in at least one match.

[Splinter]

NO! NO! NO!. There is no one cheating the dice! We get this same argument every month or so. Look up Blood Bowl 2 discussion and look for RNG. You will find plenty of evidence there. The people who blame the dice will do a lot better if they stop doing that.

[Eyesight]

You just have to manage the risk , that all you can do , then you have team like vampire ^^'.
And you also have the part when dice just say no and you get rekt during the whole game , that can happen to.
Bloodbowl experience.

Invoking the so-called Law of Averages[en.wikipedia.org] is more appropriate in this situation than you realize.

I'm sure that you being a dice predictor cheat creator for BB1 has absolutely nothing with you constantly stating that there are no dice hacks for BB3.

Dice predictor isn't a hack. And it's usefulness is very overrated

It's a cheat, irregardless of it's 'effectiveness', VoodooMike is a known cheat creator, and he's in here constantly downplaying cheating.

[Splinter]

RotGoblin, you're either a troll or well I won't say it. VoodooMike is a known cheat creator. Wow! I don't know him my self but I've seen him on these discussion for a while and there is no way he is a "Cheater Creator" That made me laugh so hard it made my day. LOL
