Ghost algorithm in battlegrounds

Based on the test of PockyPlays, it seems your odds to get the ghost in BGs are influenced by the lobby creation order.
It is not a functional bug, but I think it is a bug since it strongly influnces the fairness of this game.
Hope this bug can be fixed as soon as possible…

I don’t understand the phrase “lobby creation order”; what does this mean?

In a friendly match, the order is 1~8 from top to bottom.
Which means the owner of this lobby has the first priority to get ghost.
And in a normal solo match, the order is usually sorted by mmr.
Which means the player with higher mmr has higher priority to get ghost.
It doesn’t make any sense.

Like when the lobby is sorted at the beginning of the game, the players are sorted by MMR on the left side of the screen?

Yeah, kind of. Actually it is more complicated.
The point is: Who gets the ghost should be random!
Imagine you get the order 8, you are not likely to get ghost until 3 players left.
Why random so hard, we just want random :joy:

I agree with this. I just don’t understand how the conclusion was reached that it is not random

becuase the first ones to die have like rank 4 minions durr?

If that’s an answer that makes sense, I still don’t understand, so is there another way to explain it?

nevermind. my computer glitched out. my comment doesnt make any sense

I accept your explanation and am yet still more confused than ever
