Damn, my team in faction has played 3 games and in all 3 games my FF went down. My FF started at 8 and is now at 5.

This sucks, anyone else have this (or worse) happen to them. Just looking for someone else to laugh at Smile

Well you did lose 2 of those 3 games.

Last 2 games my skaven have won and FF dropped both times... last game for my darkies a 3-3 draw and 1 on FF yet again.

Fan factor rolls are just too prone to luck, not winning.

My team: 'Nuffle's Pet Hatred' http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=team&op=view&team_id=96419
(Yeah; apt name I guess) has a record of 9 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses.

Not all bad I'd say.

Yet their ff has dropped to 5 and refuses to go up.

My original Dark Elf team died due to FF deprivation. 10-3-2 with a FF of 5? bah!

Of course their revivified replacements have had their own FF struggles. bah! BAH!

all my active ranked teams added together, i got 41 wins, 14 draws and 12 losses. But the ff only went up 26 times and decreased 18 times.

actually, it should be more easy to get a gain than a loss until ff reaches 10, because every win has a good chance for a raise (normal win is something about 2-1, so it's already a +2 modifier, 2 cas isn't that seldom, so you should have a +3 modifier quite often). Even a draw has a good chance, a 2-2 isn't that seldom and again, scoring 2 cas is possible Smile so a +1 or +2 mod is a normal result for a draw.
But going even further, with a loss, a ff decrease should not be that often, under some circumstances, you can still reach a +1 modifer or at least a +0.

To do some math:
In normal games, you got 66% for an Increase with a win with 16% for a loss. A Draw still has 33% for a gain, 16% for a loss and a lost game has even chances with 16% both for a gain or loss in ff.
Watching my stats above, it should have been something like:
34 increases, 11 decreases
but well, that are only statistics Very Happy
playing some hundred games more and it should all even out --- Embarassed

My dark elves:

http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=team&op=view&team_id=34235

have a 19/4/8 record. It was originally a faction team. they make lots of TD:s and also a lot of cas. Despite all this I was down to 2FF at one point!!!!! I imagine an average luck FF for the team would be 15-20.

Skaven:

http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=team&op=view&team_id=63419

record 14/0/2

every match i won i had 2+ TD, some matches with 2 cas, too

started with 9, ended with 9

(some fun added: RO makes his first match, makes a cas, gets the MVP, ages on his first skill and gets fired immediately)

How about making it so that there are no automatic passes or failures on the ff roll? Meaning if you roll a 1, if you have any positive modifier, it doesn't go down, while if you roll a 6 and have a negative modifier, it doesn't go up?

then for team thats always loses they have no chance of gaining FF until they win a game or do lots of 2+cas and/or TDs. My lizardmen on the board version has won maybe 2 out of their first 8 games and their fan factor is the only thing really keeping them going for the first part of their career. True after the 8 games they had FF of 9 and a few skillsso now they are doing better.... hmmm sounds just like my fumbbl lizardmen, oh well.
