Random is Random.

Just because you got something once doesn't mean that you will never get the next time around.

That is like saying just because the first flip of a coin was heads means the next flip will always be tails.

Yes getting the same champ 2 times in a row is rare, but it is not 0%, and as long as it is not 0%, it can happen.

2 heads in a row=1/2 Same champ in a row= 1/137 . Free champions=no lissandra

Getting 2 times heads in a row and getting one time head and one time tail have the same propability

what i want to know is how my last 5 chests all gave me champion shards

Riot's a scam and same thing happened as well as those "50%" purple gems that gave me no purple gems 3 times in a row (stopped after 3).

Better to open chests in waves. The first chest is always designed to be a champ, then a skin. I think it bugs out to have reset periods where it for some reason decides you need a champ at the start of your "new" cycle.

i guess that would make sense, given i have a ton of chests and open one whenever i get a key, which is usually like once every other patch

You act like you've never rolled a dice before. You don't get a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 before you're allowed to roll one of those numbers again. You can roll numbers back to back or skip numbers all together, it's just the luck of the draw.

Similarly, the Champion you get is just a random number pulled out of a hat. You're not allowed to draw a teammates champion, but other than that it maps out just the same as rolling dice.

Two 4's in a row= 1/6. Same champ in a row= 1/137 . Free champions=no lissandra

Numbers are off due to people having different numbers of champs but the percentage of this happening is extremely low and the RNG seems to favor the champions that I previously played which happens quite a lot. So if I play Annie in the first game, the second game I either get Annie or use a reroll and somehow get Annie again.

The RNG doesn't favor anything. Count the number of champions you have available right now and I can do a simulation with a random number generator to see how often you get the same Champion back to back or back to sandwiching one other champion. I did a similar thing the last time someone complained about getting the same champion all the time and others not at all, and what they saw lined up pretty exactly with the random number generator.

I got Bard 5 times in a row once. 2 of those games someone dodged and then I got Bard anyways.

Random has a funny way of working. Everyone thinks it should be: 4,2,1,5,3 but it ends up being: 4,4,4,4,4

It's not that the odds aren't phenomenally low that it will happen, it's just that systems that try to replicate true random have a habit of hitting repeat cycles.

Mastery on a champ and certain champs appears to also have a higher rate of chance, so hitting Lissandra even once boosts her potential rate for at least a certain period after that (or potentially permanently afterward). There's probably another factor that plays into the odds that I'm not seeing since I've never seen certain champs in the mode, but of those, primarily they're ones I have zero mastery on. (I own all the champs.)

Completely depends on how many champions you own (since I think ARAM only pulls from owned champions?) If it doesn't, the chances of getting the same champion twice are about 0.00533%. Sucks to suck.
