How much does slidering still affect gameplay?

When watching old videos from early 2025 or earlier on youtube, I see that players could frequently lose like 5-10 troops when attacking a 1 stack with "Balanced Blitz" dice if they don't slider. They must have patched this as I've never seen this happen since I started playing earlier in 2026.

However, it does seem like slidering still makes a difference in some scenarios, particularly for hitting 2-3 stacks early game or bigger caps? Though it's hard to do a statistically significant experiment to confirm. Have the devs released any notes on exactly how slidering works vs. standard balanced blitz rolls with max troops at stake?
