Seems weird that it would piss you off, if you were really that invested in the cold hard stats you'd know that if it was fair rng you could still have been the 1 in 100,000 player that got lucky on 75% 40 times in a row.

Fire Emblem does something complex with averaging random numbers to do the same thing - a 95% chance to hit becomes 99.5, and the reverse for low percentages.

Conversely weather forecasters report a 40% chance of rain when the actual chance is 10% or similar.

So I have a bit of sympathy for people who don't have a good intuition for probabilities, given that the world is constantly gaslighting them.
