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
If your opponent rushes the bridge and all your cheap defensive counters are at the bottom of your deck, you lose the tower.
Once the initial hand is played, the rotation becomes fixed, and pure skill and memory take over.

Troop Movement Quirks
Another subtle layer of RNG comes from the slight inconsistencies in how the game's AI handles pathfinding.
Relying on a unit's aggro range down to the exact pixel is risky because tiny bumps can alter their trajectory.

Accepting Randomness
The most important skill regarding RNG is learning how to control your emotions when luck inevitably turns against you.
