I’m sure you know the chances of getting 1 tribute (less than 1% chance) 7 times out of less than 100 tries (much less, but I’m rounding up because even so it’s absurd), right? My point here is to either figure out something that is not working as it should, or question the actual randomness of the RNG.

Well, it’s expected that RNG is never really random, but couldn’t those anomalies be better reduced? There are other examples of anomalies. Like this:

What actually happened was so unlikely that made me wonder if there’s something wrong with that number. All happened while fighting against Death. Fighting Death, I lost 3 units to DM on the FIRST turn after the spell was cast. I probably can’t calculate that well enough, but it seems highly unlikely (1/1000?). Fought a few m…

I once pulled 3 Mythics from 50 gem chests, too along with a few legendaries.  
Also, it’s not uncommon that I get multiple Arcanes in a row (or every other match) from Exploring, then going through a very long sequence of Explores without getting any Arcanes.  
Yesterday, I even got 3 Celestials in about 10-15 Explore matches.

The list could go on and on if we really stopped to keep track of anything (which I won’t do, because ultimately I’m a player who wants to have fun with a game, nothing else hehe)… But I don’t think random is as random as one would think/wish. =/
