Study of "Luck Impression" and what stands behind it

[Annaerith]

Objective:

Lets give devs something to work with towards this:

Harold MEME Thread

As an aside, regarding luck, I would actually like to run another focus test at some point about the “Perception of Streaks of Luck”, to examine the following question:Given Player A who just won Game #1, and Player B who just lost Game #1… if they BOTH experience the same amount of luck in Game #2, does Player B believe he was unluckier than Player A?In other words, does some bad luck, color your perception of the next series of events to make you think you are actually unluckier than you really are?I suspect it might… but I would love to pull some numbers on that.

Method:

• present at least 10 starting boards (preferable 20) of continuous fights using same team (can be pvp or explore)

• the team needs to be limited by mana gain (preferable something like a boombot- or mercy-based team, but choice is up to you) (it can be any team if you are willing to only use your standard one)

• for each starting board add a comment about how you feel about this starting board and what “luck” do you think it is, also give the result (win/loss) with your input about the impression/luck/ and mood you get from this fight, also some idea if the fight was longer or shorter then usual

-any other details you think is good to add

(ill add my input later when i get home and be actually able to play…)

Please incluse batches of screen shots (with their comments) in a “Hide Details/Summary” thing, so that the whole thread is readable

Here is how to make a summary

Explore with dwarf team while watching movie and 1/2 not paying attention
dwarven slayer, lady ironbeard, deep borer, dwarven miner (kraken banner)

i started when being already tired so probably wont make enough of examples tonight…

Summary

battle 1.
5-match kinda feels lucky and i could use those red gems

win. alastair got shield and a couple of chained extra turns, before i notice i lost slayer, soon after that i lost lady, had to pay attention to skull down alastair and ek but in the end managed to do so. battle longer then usual, got me bored and tired a bit

battle 2.
board looked average, the extra yellow didnt move me at all. however first turn brought me skulls and one enemy was down instantly so it got me a fresh feeling that im progressing faster.

win. every move either maxed a unit mana or was a cast to kill - battle was over quick. i felt more motivated to continue

battle 3.
i didnt like draak on top but board looked average as usual.

there was a time i couldnt find any blue/brown for 2-3 turns and i thought it gonna take long time since draak casted but in the end it ended on average speed, proceed with no hard feelings
