Is glacial stun % not what it says?

I decided to actually check out what the % is closer to by doing a set of glacial games, 2 glacial is supposedly 20%, I went Berserkers with Olaf/Voli since that is the most common glacial comp. then just watched the Olaf go to work. After 3 games with him, it came out to over 40% with 2 glacial, (about 43%) and I mean aoe makes that just broken. To clarify here, it wasn't like 1 outlier type game effecting the rate either, the lowest was upper 30% and the other 2 were both mid to high 40's. I feel like I should do more games to really test it, but considering it's supposed to be 20% I find this extremely busted.

If anyone has the time and is inclined to add data, I would love to know if you get the same results.

Edit: forgot to mention, every game was to at least early stage 5, so wasn't extremely high % being knocked out at like early 4 or something.

How did you calculate this 40% ? Olaf has 250% speed after ultimate.

Seems like a skewed test if you are using berserkers, the aoe from berserkers is going to effect the way RNG game mechanics work... All rng is almost always based off a multiplier of the exact time as in literally, 08 : 45: 55: 132 ... So you are going to be much higher, on average, to get an aoe stun on two champs simultaneously. You need to run the test without the berserker aoe to have absolutely no outlying variables, not to mention how temporal instability is the number one factor for pretty much any experiment's skewed results, so in essence I kind of doubt you would have been able to count all of the attacks properly when factoring in aoe....

EDIT: To minimize the variance you should really just turn someone like vayne into a glacial and run ezreal aswell.. that or if you don't want to worry about ezreal's spell then get a lvl 1 melee up front so he dies and just count the auto's from vayne.

And it's still rng.. You can flip a coin and get heads 8 out of 10 times. Just because it should be 50% doesn't mean it works out that way over short bursts.. Flip a coin 100'000 times, you will probably get darn close to 50% but there will still be huge runs where you get one a lot more than you should. Reminds me of yorldes that would seemingly dodge 100% of the time one round and virtually not at all the next.. Just how rng works.. And like others mentioned, berserker/hydra skews things a lot because of the splash being able to proc the glacial effect.

Exactly, you need test without berserkers.

Berserker x6 Glacial x4 Ranger x2

Ezreal with Berserker Spatula/Hurricane/Silence or Disarm. = The ultimate CC. Unless he's fighting off assassins, he will permanently CC the whole enemy team.
