The only time you can complain about dice is when otherwise you would win 100% against that opponent. I went and specced a few games. You roll too many dice, put too many men on LoS for defense, try to pass the ball when you shouldn't, leave your ball with one defender in case you fail and don't take enough rerolls to your games...
Is that enough?
we have a club for those who learned on Cyanide or are generally new to the game.

145 club will help all your issues fly away for the most part.
Cyanide dice are still 1 out of 6 you roll a one. Just like fumbbl.

For all the problems the Cyanide version has, the dice are not one of them. It's been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt countless times (thanks in part to Cyanide at first forgetting to encrypt the RNG seed, allowing testers to "double check" if Cyanide was cheating the dice in the SinglePlayer modes) that their dice has the sort of near perfect spread you would expect from any RNG that does dice. Same as here, same as whatever non BB game involving a dice RNG. It's not the RNG.
I'm having much more problems here than Cyanide, not because of dice, but because thinking left to right instead of top to down is causing me to make moves I'd never make in Cyanide, and I shake my head after doing it each time. It's never the dice, it's always the player.

I'd whine about "Then how do you explain the 6 doubleskulls and two triple skulls I rolled in the last half I played in", but you guys have heard it all before (and probably rolled worse, too). And I was just bemoaning the bad blocks (it was actually one saur killed on a regular block and mostly 1-1s on skink dodges)
Certainly feels like a huge losing streak... heh.
Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled Snot Sniffly next time I post/play. :)

I have trouble with those pesky skulls showing up on my block die and haven't won a game yet but I'm loving every minute I play and that's what it is all about - having fun. And sometimes that venting of annoyance is part of the fun too. If there was a serious problem with the die mechanics then everyone would be affected and the site boycotted.
I feel his comment was in the spirit of the game.
