Indeed, with the bot definition of luck (Actually there are several of them. There is a difference between calculating an EMG based luck rate or the total luck in MWC. I'm referring to the latter one.) the luckier player will almost always win unless he is completely incompetent. The trick with the bot definition of luck is that the better player needs less of it to win a match, thus even when cumulative luck approaches zero over many matches, as it should, the better player can be lucky more often.

It's kind of analogous to two equal players playing daily money sessions. The first one will quit whenever he is more than 10 points ahead, the other one only whenever he is 50 points ahead. Obviously, the first player will tend to have more lucky sessions.
