"Fizzle Rounds"

In the beginning of July, W101 was shut down for a few hours to fix some things and after that I started getting a thing I call "Fizzle Rounds".
It's when whatever or whoever in the battle circle all fizzle in the same round. Usually the fizzles can get categorized:

-All on one side
-All spells from a specific school
-All in the battle circle

I usually quest alone, so the number of creatures in the battle circle can get up to 4 (me vs 3 creatures). Once I was fighting 3 Life creatures (and Life usually has 90% accuracy) and on one of the "Fizzle Rounds" all those creatures and I fizzled on the same round! Like, what are the odds? And that happens all the time! Sometimes all Myth spells that all my 3 enemies cast fizzle but my Storm spell doesn't, sometimes only my allies and I fizzle, and sometimes everybody but one fizzle at random with no pattern. That didn't happen before so I'm interested if that's how it's supposed to be or if that's a really weird bug.

Sincerely,

Hmm.. Interesting phenomenon, do these 'fizzle rounds' tend to happen a lot? Because what you are describing used to happen to me, but it doesn't anymore because I have 45% accuracy, so my Storm Accuracy is 115%.

Anyway, the chances for 3 life spells to fizzle in a row is a 1/1000 chance
