does this happen on ALL live games? Cuz if it happens from time to time then it's normal. Sometimes there is a bug where it takes hours for the system to "process" an already finished match. Means it still shows on observer mode (but cannot be watched), and neither of the involved players received a win/loss yet. And once it's finished, it shows crazy times on "game length" in the match history, for examle 200 minutes.

The law of large numbers is one of the basic laws of probability theory. What it states, is that if the series of independent random events is long enough (in thousands), then the distribution of results will closely resemble the probability distribution that was used to generate each random value. The larger the number of rolls, the closer these two distributions are going to be.

Mind, that it doesn't work for small numbers. So for example 20 rolls is definitely not enough for this to work. But at 2000 rolls, the distributions should be close enough to create a fair game. And thanks to automatch elo system, it even adds up between subsequent games.

So how does it work in coh2? Coh2 performs enourmous number of rolls each game. Each small arms shot is a rng roll, including every round shot by HMGs and other automatic weapons. In case of bigger guns, there are rolls for scatter, penetration and crits. This creates enough random events for the law of large numbers to work.

How does it effect players? Coh2 uses uniform distribution from 0 to 1 to create its random events, which means that after whole game, a histogram of all numbers rolled should have pretty much equal amount of numbers in all buckets. Here is a histogram showing an example for 10000 random numbers generated using exactly the same distribution as coh2 uses:

Show Spoiler

Becouse set of numbers rolled by each player resembles the initial distribution, then the distributions of numbers rolled by these players must be very close as well. What it means is that during the whole match, you and your opponent will get lucky pretty much equal amount of times. In effect, a better player will win in the end.

Game is fair.
You are in denial, because you're salty about a single instance that has happened to you.
