The best is when someone is rolling bad all night, then they hit a clutch roll... and you make them reroll with Black Cat, and they fail.

Classic dick move, especially if that roll isn't going to get them back in the game.

Tenketsu took the words right out of my mouth.

Untrue.

Tenketsu said it better than me, but it's the same idea. Rep to you, tenketsu.

Man, now I know why people don't bother trying to "win" online arguments.

It's impossible, even if you're right.

I don't know. Maybe it's my play style, but I make moves that, even if I miss my rolls, still put me in a win-win situation. Rarely does a torrid run of missed rolls simply leave me in a bent-over position.

(This, of course, is assuming I haven't just flat-out FAILed in some other egregious fashion.)

My bad rolls are legendary among my play group. Some of my more infamous bad rolling games are:
D&D minis: Need anything but a 1 on a 20sided dice to hit, roll four 1s in a row.
D&D minis: Need anything but a 1 on a d20 or my Dragon turns to stone and need a 3+ for my other Dragon not to turn to stone, both got turned to stone in the same game.
Star Wars Minis (this weekend): Need an 8+ worse case to kill an uggnaught and miss first 3 shots, took the fourth to kill a 3pt model.

Have a whole list of these stories. Sure i roll good sometimes, probably the same amount as bad, but it is the circumstances that makes the difference. In Heroclix, when i hit with a pog for one damage and miss with my Superman it is one good roll and one bad roll, but i still call it bad luck. By the way, it is bad luck and not low rolls. This weekend I played Mansions of Madness, all my friends joked that i would be good at this game because low rolls are good in it and sure enough I rolled many tens (auto fails) and died very quickly. Still love dice games and play way to many of them, even if the dice gods hate me.

I think the key word in that statement is ALWAYS. If you always lose, it is not the fault of the dice. If your skills/planning are adequate, you will lose some and win some. You will not always lose.

On this, we agree.

i stopped reading this around halfway through page 3.
but i would like to comment on luck:
i have ever claimed to always lose to luck. in fact sometimes i'll even say "aww i shouldn't have done that. now you can _______________" to acknowledge i did something stupid.
but when this happens you know you've got bad luck:

missing every roll but 3 in a 1000 point game where over 50% of your build is from WoS & almost 80% of your opponent's is older than avengers is bad luck.
it doesn't help that 2 of those 3 successful attacks were probbed away & the 3rd got healed back.
whats worse is that my opponent even said "wow. i shouldn't have won that." paraphrased a bit.

for the next 4 months i missed by exactly 1 most of the time.

You want to hear abought bad luck. Try Last round of 10 turnys in a row, just to lose to the same player. The 11th was my lucky game. I beet him by 2 points. Soa remimber every point counts.

It's all about Comic Accuracy!

And Comic Timing.

i'd say about 75 percent of heroclix is strategy and team building, the other 25 percent is luck. this can cause you to lose some games you should win, and win some games you should lose. it's something you can't control, so just accept that.

I'm not sure if you're trying to say that you're right and lost the argument, or that the people that corrected you are right and still didn't win.

Just saying.
You can be the best player in the world, but if you roll 5 crit misses in a game, you're probably going to lose.
