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.
Initial Deck Shuffling
Your starting hand is entirely random, which can immediately put you at a massive disadvantage against an aggressive opening.
Professional players build their decks specifically to minimize the chances of a truly unplayable starting hand.
- Flexibility is a skill.
- Remove the guesswork from the mid-game.
- It prevents matches from feeling perfectly scripted.
The Unpredictable AI
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.
| Game Style | RNG Dependency |
|---|---|
| Auto-Chess | Luck is the primary factor in individual matches |
| Standard Tower Rush | Very Low - Only the starting hand is randomized |
The Mental Game
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.
