We basically have 3 different variants for checking chances in place currently:
...
Variant 3: Pseudo random distribution, mostly known for its use in dota 2:
It uses the pseudo rng from variant 1 but feeds it a lower than listed chance to check against and keeps track of its failure streak and each failure increases the chance it's checking against, on success it resets the failure streak counter and thereby reverts to the much reduced chance.
This is still fairly random while trying to curb good and bad streaks but has rather weird properties with chances higher than 50%.
...
Variant 3 is quite nice for all positive effects and still used for those: crit, crafting quality, procs, offhand hit chance. However once you use it for something with a chance of more than about 50% it just becomes slightly weird and if you have consecutive checks with one preventing the following, like in the case of defensive rolls, the effect is absolutely not what you want.
