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.
Starting Hands and Card Rotation
The most prominent RNG element in card-based battlers is the initial four cards you are dealt at the start.

Professional players build their decks specifically to minimize the chances of a truly unplayable starting hand.
Flexibility is a skill.Know what they are holding.It prevents matches from feeling perfectly scripted. Unit Targeting and Pathfinding
While developers strive to make AI as predictable as possible, the physics engine can occasionally create chaotic results.

Leaving a slight margin for error in your defensive placements is the best way to handle AI unpredictability.

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

Focus on improving your timing and placement, and let the RNG sort itself out in the long run.
