Smoky Critical Hit chance is fake

[smashman777 0]

How is it that it is impossible to hit 2 critical hits in a row, and yet the critical chance is 14%. I do not know which update it was that prevents any consecutive crits from occurring but it sucks.

Its not really 14% if you cannot hit twice in a row. 

ALSO: Finishing an enemy off with a crit and then getting a crit afterwards is a glitch it is not real. Soooo what happened/what update was this. I remember having 5 in a row being a record. (This was when Crits did 800+ dmg a while ago) Pretty sure this was nerfed without proper disclosure, atleast not that i know of.

14% critical chance means that it's a 14% chance for a shot to be a critical shot. That means it's a 1 in 7 chance for a critical hit. For 2 critical hits after each other, it's much more complicated. It would be a 0.0196‬ out of 1 chance for a critical, or a 1.96 chance out of 100, which would/should be about 1 in 49 chance. Hitting a 3 critical shot "combo" it should be a 1 in 343 chance, then 4 in a row should be a 1 in 2401 chance etc. 10 critical shot combo should be extremely rare though, being a 1 in 282,475,249 chance. Hope that helps!

It's not possible for Smoky to land multiple critical hits in a row - only separate critical hits every now and then between a succession of shots landed on target.

Every time you hit a target with Smoky, there's a chance that your shot will be a critical hit, and with every successive shot landed on target the chance of a critical hit occurring is increased each time. Once you finally get a critical hit, the critical chance is reset to a negative value, so you must land a few more successive shots on target before the critical hit probability is above zero and you can land critical hits again.

I would rage quit a lot of Smoky was allowed to land like 3 straight criticals on me.

Why? 

Besides the mechanics alrerady explained... what do you think the % actually is if you can't get consecutive criticals?

It's the initial %
