D20's always roll low for me

Every damn game I ONLY roll low on D20's EVEN AFTER Rugged Reroll, this is seriously pissing me off. As a DM I roll high as a player I get screwed over on rolls, please fix this imbalance issue, it has me raging at you guys in VC because it pisses me off when I can't hit the broad side of a barn with melee each round.

Those facts are as confusing as hell in the initial parts of the post, math is my bane. What do those numbers mean? I can't make heads nor tails of it. I see what you mean, so I will keep getting pissed off at your D20 rolls and raging horribly. As a DM having to nerf numbers to keep from killing players, seems it's more often skewed low when I am a player and high when I am a DM. Thank you for your response and it is much appreciated, RNG's are always tough to do properly and your is at least proprietary.

But even if the rolls aren't 'random' or are weak for the sake of argument, why would they create a completely separate roller for people marked as GM in the games? If anything you'd either be complaining that you and your players roll high all the time, or you all always roll low..since the RNG used is identical on both. I cant see the logic in saying its one way as GM and one way as player, when the logic used is the same one, other than pattern seeking and making conclusions based on percived patterns.
That is how it runs for me, I have to nerf to avoid killing players and I can't hit the broad side of the barn as a player. You may not see it, but it's there. Just saying, it's not impossible. As a player I often joke roll20 hates me as a player, anyways signing off of this topic for good. I just stated how it is, and if it defies your logic then well it does.
I think you may just have extremely bad luck. Other players and I also had particular sessions where we would roll below ten 90% of the time or even several 1's in a row. Then again it also seems that roll20 wants to counterbalance our bad luck and gives us extra 20's next session. Then we had incredible coincidences, like always rolling the same number again and again, or in another campaign someone rolled alternating 1s and 20s on to-hit-rolls and damage-rolls for quite a while. Roll20 seems to be so not-random in so many ways, that it seems completely random again.
I have this extremely bad luck as well, out of maybe 30 rolls, I've probably rolled 1s 15 times, and only rolled enough to hit like 3 times.
The roller is random. That's what all that "maaaaaath" says.

HoneyBadger, no need to sound so condescending too. This topic is almost over for me if your going to take that tone, if I am going to take even one person being condescending Your post is toned to sound quite rude, so seriously no need for the condescending tone. Can someone who has the power to do so please delete this topic as a whole? Lee it's not extreme bad luck, I am actually a very lucky person, with my physical dice they always roll in my favor though their an unbroken set that I have had since 2005. I just find every die rolling program is the same, utterly horrible garbage no matter what the source. So I guess I'll keep cursing and swearing under my breath at this die roller, because that is all I can do due to major tech rage in general.
