Players constantly argue over whether randomness adds exciting unpredictability or ruins the integrity of esports.

In the context of lane-pushing arena battlers, RNG is typically minimized compared to card games or auto-battlers.
The Luck of the Draw
The most prominent RNG element in card-based battlers is the initial four cards you are dealt at the start.

Once the initial hand is played, the rotation becomes fixed, and pure skill and memory take over.
Never run a deck that is too heavy.Cycle your cheapest cards in the back.Accept that sometimes you will lose to a lucky start. Unit Targeting and Pathfinding
While developers strive to make AI as predictable as possible, the physics engine can occasionally create chaotic results.

Relying on a unit's aggro range down to the exact pixel is risky because tiny bumps can alter their trajectory.

Getting angry at a bad starting hand only causes you to make further mistakes and lose the match entirely.

Over the course of a thousand games, the luck factor completely evens out for everyone.
