So I got curious after years of playing and feeling like snipes are just way to common. So, I decided to start some tracking.
To define what I considered a “snipe” -
*At least 5 of my own minions on the board
*First opposing minion attack hits highest priority target (aka They kill my Baron with their first swing not including cleaves or Zap)
I tracked 500 turns with the above conditions and the results are disturbing …
There were 178 snipes … that’s 178 out of 500 snipes with a 1 in 5+ chance to hit!!
If we use the avg of 6 minions on board, that’s more than double what it should be!
Now I know the sample size isn’t huge, and rng is a wicked mistress … but i mean more than double? Come on folks … something smells fishy to me …
