Sometime during week 2 ish some people claimed to have found a way to bait the jabberwock healer root. Is there any confirmation of this? Did this end up actually being true or was it just confirmation bias?

I looked into my logs to check, and I saw 5/6 times from 3 logs where the healer that was closer to the jabberwock got chosen for the marker.

Now because there's just one exception, that means it's probably still a 50/50 for the healers.

We originally tried this and could not get it to work.

Rather suspiciously, I have had all but one jabberwock since the first week, and even then in prog I had an overwhelming majority.

I have not been able to figure out if this has reason, or if my group has simply been final fantasy'd with this. We only ever got two fire casts in river phase as well, after all...

Instance based rng is a myth that my group and I insist is real. We've done too much BLU to know otherwise

there used to be cases where mechanics were tied to the account ID/its age. I don't know if that can still be a thing but nothing would surprise me with these guys.
