I suppose they could say that's random, but the system shouldn't allow 4 or 5 of the same color to drop in consecutively. Same with row drops, cause I've seen a row drop in with a match five too. This is my complaint about the situation. Its always that they make a match 5 and then four or five other match fives magically appear from the heavens to fall down on top. And the people saying confirmation bias are out of their mind in my opinion, because no human player is going to match correctly and predict the future of incoming tiles like the artificial intelligence WILL. Suggesting so is really really cuckoo.

And of course picked up plenty of red AP along the way as well Still, not like i haven't been having my own cascades. It evens itself out

And you get to draw more than 5 cards at a time, in a lot of cases. And there are ~50 other cards that you could potentially use already on the board. Wait, this analogy doesn't work at all.

I didn't say this is like poker, it's just an analogy to show how much the probabilities are off. How's the chance for 5 or more gems of the same color falling in a row? Not that high i guess, but it's fairly common in the game that one match 4/5 leads to not one but multiple match 4/5s falling from the sky (not even counting those that match with adjacent tiles to the sides).

Every tile is going to be one of seven possibilities (6 colors plus team-up). Just because the first tile in a drop is blue, it doesn't mean that the next one won't (or can't) be blue, etc.
