Players constantly argue over whether randomness adds exciting unpredictability or ruins the integrity of esports.
Understanding exactly where randomness factors into the equation allows top players to mitigate its negative effects.
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.

Unit Targeting and Pathfinding
While developers strive to make AI as predictable as possible, the physics engine can occasionally create chaotic results.
To counter this, veterans always place defensive buildings in exactly the same specific tiles to guarantee consistent pulls.

Accepting Randomness
Getting angry at a bad starting hand only causes you to make further mistakes and lose the match entirely.
If you are stuck in a lower arena, it is because of your fundamental mechanics, not the random number generator.
