No, it's not impossible, not at all. Many of you whining here have no understanding of probability theory and basic maths. It is even possible that he hits you 8 times in the head. Admittedly, the chance for it to happen is very low, but the chance of winning a lottery is also very low, and still people manage to do it. I find it very funny how easily you can stir up the mob.
Agreed its far from impossible. Well aware everything is maths based here and your talking the numbers falling in random... always was always will be. However.
What i think your missing Ryan is that apparently nothing has been changed. If this were the case then there would not be any great difference that regular, consistent and active players are finding.
The odds are too great for such things to happen with such a swing since 1.32 if nothing has been changed ... that although not impossible is such high odds that everyone here is winning the lottery on a regular basis, if you get my drift... and that does not happen.
Sure the appearance formula has changed, somewhere either this or something else is affecting the chance/random outcome.
I suggest you go out there and duel solid with a few toons for a week or two and not just assume its a mass placebo effect.
