In the past (if memory serves), the luck settings for 1v1 Auto games were 75%. If the Fizzmeister changed this due to popular opinion I must convey my gratitude. Hats of to the top brass.

It's 16% for a couple of years now. I don't know if it ever was 75%, since I joined WL it has been 16%

On the Full change log i found

- Changed the Strategic 1v1 template's luck from 18% to 16%. At 16%, a 4v2 will never fail.


So it was {Maybe [See Math Wolf's post]} 18% for a short time (from 1.00.0 to 1.00.3)

Perhaps it was just my imagination. It seems I am mistaken. Thank you for clearing that up. On with the auto games!

It think it wasn't 18% for a short time, it has been for a pretty long time, assumingly since the start of the 1v1 auto-game which was long before the ladder got introduced.

Shortly after the ladder started, some players mentioned that a 4v2 could fail (with examples of ladder games where it happened) and consequently it was changed as TBest says.

Either way, the 1v1 strategic template has been around since beta 7 (2009).

Also note that the blockade card was added much later to it as well.
