I recently sacrificed someone to a match I thought was impossible to win, didn't even pay attention to the results, and was then surprised to see them as an option the next round with 1 fatigue.
I wish I'd see how they won.
RNG is crazy. I often do the opposite of what you think should be possible, and always finish top 5-10 without really trying.
My excited moment comes from finishing top 10 and not getting all useless 3* crap I could have obtained on my own in less than 60 seconds, let a lone 48 hours of Gauntlet.

last gauntlet i finish 2 in gauntlet got nothing realy good only chronitron and one 3*gear but what i like is the free pack finish in the first 5 in gauntlet
The last month or so, this has been happening to me at least 75% of the time when I am lining up a 3, 6, 9 etc win when I have a 75% chance or more of winning. I usually have 25% ( or more) vs 5% with double the proficiency points. I have been getting double and triple critted so often lately I have had my fewest streak boxes opened in over year of playing.
RNG has been even the rest of the time, win some lose some, but I purposely line up easy wins using merits for the multiple of 3 rewards and lately and RNG has crippled me. My average finish because of it has been 20-30 spots lower.
Overall, RNG may be working as intended but it really doesn't work on an individual basis. If it did, you wouldn't have some players double FF crew and then dumping multiple copies of Guantlet legendaries every time while other struggle to get one. Over six months, it should level out. As it stands though, it doesn't.
Wish my 5%ers hit like that,,,,,,,,,,,,,or in this case my rested 25%er
If it makes you feel better, you would have lost even without the crits (1349 vs 1379).
Surak vs. Seven of Nine isn't a very favorable matchup, even at 25% vs 5%
Not a very favorable matchup, huh? Even at 25% vs 5%? Sure, sure...
You should accept one obvious thing. If DB wants you to lose, you lose. Even if your opponent would have to roll 7 (seven) crits in 6 rolls at 0% crit chance in each roll. Gauntlet is not a fairly random system. I have no doubt about it, even the slightest.

No, I usually don't consider a 60% chance very favorable.
It really isn't broken. Here is my just wow moment.
A fatigued Antaak being sacrificed (red-shirted) to a fresh Defensive Phlox.
What was Antaak's crit chance? 65%? And not even a single crit? Shocking...
#idonttrustdb
This was a but ago, not 65% chance, I think 45%, but I could remember wrong. but Phlox had crit chance fairly high, too. If it wasn't the same, it was one step different. The point is, I had absolutely no reason to think I would win.
I notice when I lose a match that I believe I should have won, but I win a bunch I should have lost. I, personally, think it is fair. ...Angering, sometimes, but not rigged.
And then a moment ago, Boothby Replicant, eager for a rematch with Surak with the pressure of a 16 match win streak, did this after eating 30 dilithium (because why not, I was eager!)...
Clearly I need to coach up Boothby Replicant more. Perhaps I will try and convince him that Surak is planning to attack fluidic space!
Yesterday I had a 45% Crew versus another 45% Crew. Both Skills were higher Min/Max for my Crew. Other guy Critted SIX TIMES and I Critted ZERO TIMES. Lost by 300 Points.........

If you're interested, I have collected 4000+ rounds worth of gauntlet data if you would like to investigate if it is fair yourself:

It seems at least for now, experience paid off...
Out of curiosity, has anyone rolled a 0 or a 6?
I'm not the only one? Sometimes "No Matching Skills" versus "No Matching Skills" is fun!!!!!!!!
Haha! Love it!!
I got TWO CRITS while an opponent got 0 crits and I've lost that battle.

Evidently, Boothy Replicant is just incapable of beating Surak!
I think this is the first time I've survived Guinan getting multiple crits. Of course Guinan killed me every time in the next 4 matches.
