This "Luck" stat is completely misleading

I just came in 7th with 54% luck. The REAL story of my luck: I went 7th, won a couple of rolls (+1, +1), got two side by side 5's ... right beside someone else's ROUND 1 8 STACK.

It's the starts that are killing me. Other people's (often idiotic) decisions aren't helping, mind you.

For example, my last 10 games' luck % is 49.4 ... but I have 3 7th place finishes and 3 6th place finishes. Allll starting position and rebuilds.

Well done you are unlucky and even now in the new version it works against you so you can't even prove how unluky you actually are, might be time you found another game to fail at. Try life.

How does a game in which I'm alive for 3 rounds get a 51% luck after this happens in round 1:

g00b2 defeated 5v6, 17 to 14, (4,4,4,1,4 to 3,4,3,2,1,1)
g00b2 defeated 4v3, 18 to 14, (5,6,1,6 to 5,3,6)
g00b2 defeated 2v3, 11 to 5, (5,6 to 1,3,1)

??????????

For those counting that's 9 6th or 7th place finishes in 13 games.

5v6, 7v8 in round 3 ... no longer should I expect to defend such attacks.

i guess luck rate doesn't contain your startpos and other players hating you, just based on you attacks and the attacks of the others, i have also received a 7th with 54% luck, just because i won 2 3v3s in round one but had never any chance because i was in the middle and surrounded by higher stacks. But i also wonder why luck rate becomes such an important thing for some players.
