The probability of anything happening 4 weeks in a row is the same though. 4 voidfang is just as likely as 3 voidfang 1 sunbreaker. You could look at the odds of praxic fire not being sold at all for 12 weeks and say that it's very unlikely that an rng scenario created that pattern, but it would still be possible. Lastly, I thought deej said in an interview that it wasn't rng, is that just a myth?

  • It's not RNG and his math is correct by the way. You can't look the statistics individually by the way. You have to remember the chances for the same to item to appear 4 times in a row with the other items have the same chance.

  • I never said his math was incorrect, just that the fact that the chance of 4 voidfang being sold in a row being low is insignificant, and does not prove or even imply a lack of randomness in the pattern.

  • It kind of does. 4 Voidfangs appearing in a row has 0.077% chance of happening if it was RNG. Those numbers are pretty low.
