    Luck is a percentage the devs program, it does not change over time.

    Random is just random, that’s all there is to it

    Well actually a machine can't generate true random numbers, programming languages use some mathematical formula to generate pseudo-random numbers which seems to be random by using a seed (base /initial number). Most languages take the clock time (server time /device time) as seed, so yes time definitely has a little influence if that is the case with AL

    You seem to make two points;
    1: no computer or algorithm can produce a random #. I personally don't believe that as I learned to code rng in school.
    2: you're assuming you know how sts has made their rng, but then admit you don't know because you also say "if that is the case".

    I'm sticking to my opinion - your luck does not change over time. That's like a gamblers fallacy.
