Players constantly argue over whether randomness adds exciting unpredictability or ruins the integrity of esports.
However, it still exists in subtle ways that can completely alter the outcome of a very close match.
The Luck of the Draw
Your starting hand is entirely random, which can immediately put you at a massive disadvantage against an aggressive opening.
Once the initial hand is played, the rotation becomes fixed, and pure skill and memory take over.

The Unpredictable AI
Another subtle layer of RNG comes from the slight inconsistencies in how the game's AI handles pathfinding.
To counter this, veterans always place defensive buildings in exactly the same specific tiles to guarantee consistent pulls.

Embracing the Chaos
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.
