In the popular game Clash Royale, players are pondering over the odds of landing a Cannoneer character. A user named metrondo sparked a heated discussion questioning whether the chance of procuring this coveted character is skewed against the big spenders. The user reasoned that this could be a tactic to stimulate the purchase of offers in game.
Conversation Highlights

Player ImNotArtistic chimed in stating that the odds are simply a game of probability unless proven otherwise with substantial evidence.
-
PrimeMichaelJordan counter-argued bringing in the statistical viewpoint stating that, considering the millions of Royale users, the chances of landing on a Cannoneer are not as dim as it may feel.

Adding a textured layer to the conversation, franklinc26 mentioned receiving a Cannoneer from all the 5 tower chests that he opened despite not requiring one.
The Game of Probability
In video games like Clash Royale where loot-box mechanism is prevalent, player frustrations often center around the feeling of ‘unfairness’ of loot distribution. The RNG gods may seem merciless, but in reality it’s the game of mathematical probability.
Player Perspective
Many players expressed their own experiences, with some like adlegaming getting a Cannoneer on the 3rd chest while others like BobaFettyWop were not so lucky, diving into 7 chests to no avail.
The Developer’s Side
From the developer’s perspective, they may indeed be using such mechanisms to stimulate purchases, but that’s just business. However, if it becomes too aggressive, players may just bid farewell!
To wrap up, as players we love to participate in the game, and part of that participation is in the winding and unwinding of the odds at play. Let’s continue playing and may the RNG gods be ever in your favor!
