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.
Always include at least two cheap defensive options.Cycle your cheapest cards in the back.Move on to the next match quickly.
The Unpredictable AI
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.

Accepting Randomness
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.
