R.I.P
Also, I have a theory as to why second place tends to get better drops. I explained it to Jake in a steamchat, I'll post it here in case anyone else is interested:

Quote:2:19 AM - Brassx: but 2nd place seems to be in that sweet spot
2:19 AM - Brassx: cause you see, it just sets a base rarity to start rolling at(meaning it subtracts that base rarity from all other rarities, if result is less than or equal to 0 it skips). Then it keeps trying till it successfully rolls an item
2:19 AM - Brassx: the 1st place base rarity is a higher number than second place
2:19 AM - Brassx: I'll add some tests
2:20 AM - Brassx: i'll make it count how many times it attempts to roll an item
2:20 AM - Brassx: and compare them over a few orbital rounds
2:20 AM - Brassx: if 2nd place rolls more times then it's better for sure
2:20 AM - Brassx: better only because it has MORE chances at rare stuff
2:21 AM - Brassx: but in theory first place should get better drops easier due to it's base rarity being higher
