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
If your opponent rushes the bridge and all your cheap defensive counters are at the bottom of your deck, you lose the tower.
Professional players build their decks specifically to minimize the chances of a truly unplayable starting hand.
