I almost never start anymore and as everyone knows the person who goes first has the clear advantage in 1v1, I'm not saying you can't win going second, but the person going first usually wins.
After I reliezed that i was rarely starting I decied to keep track of all my matches and here is what I came up with
In the last 15 matches I have started twice. 13% of the time In the last 30 matches I have gone 6 times. 20% of the time In the last 45 matches I have gone 11 times. 24% of the time And in the last 60 matches I have gone 17 times. 28% of the time
What am I supposed to do when I never start and I consistently lose more and more points? When I started keeping track of my games, my rating was 908 and now it is 802 because it is not easy to beat commander and warlord wizards when you go second.
the pvp match, in my theory, usually starts with the better team. Try getting some high rank teammates and see if this prediction allows you to go first more. If not, then it's all about luck, and your not the only one who has to deal with bad luck in wizard101
