Warrior improved overpower?

[Uni123]

So i just got lvl 41 and got 2 points in improved overpower. I dont understand why is nobody talking about this , but maybe this is just my instance that im experiencing a bug or something , but improved overpower doesnt seem to do anything . Its clearly non functional or atleast its doing half of what its supposed to do , aka 50% crit. I did so many overpower hits and i think i crit on maybe about 15% of the time , probably just as much as mortal strike. When turning to world chat , everybody just seems to defend turtle wow saying how it is working and that im being crazy. Ive played on multiple private servers , played on blizzard classic . This talent is NOT functional , atleast for me , i will try later to reset my talents and see again , but i dont see how that would fix anything . Your thoughts?

Anecdotal evidence means nothing. If you really want to test this properly, do a proper experiment where you're tracking the exact number used on the exact same target of the exact same level, and record the number of crits. A sample size no smaller than 100 is necessary. Many people have done this on similar issues before and, with this hard evidence, gotten these identified as actual bugs and had fixes made for them.

You are correct , i started logging now how many hits are crits and vice versa. i Will post here after im done. I think there is definitely an increase of crit but it didnt seem like much , further testing will show me the true answer

Yes so actually i did the calculation and it turns out that i was wrong , the talent was fine , but i could have sworn when i first got the talent there were no crits at all . Maybe the relog fixed it or something , but now i got about 60% or 65% crit chance out of 50 hits , so that sounds about right. 50% crit from talent and about 17% crit from my gear , yeah pretty spot on.

I wish all people would falsify their wrong assumptions/beliefs/biases with simple science like you! <3

Actually putting effort into learning the statistics instead of being stubborn and defensive is strangely mature. Props my guy.
