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
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.

Another subtle layer of RNG comes from the slight inconsistencies in how the game's AI handles pathfinding.

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