General Is RNG (luck) ruining or improving strategy games?

[quietoffensive]

RNG can be annoying, I won't lie. You think you have planed everything, then one random outcome just mess up your whole setup. But at the same time, it adds tension. Without it, everything would become too predictable. Now, the issue here is balance. A little randomness is fine, it forces you to adapt. But when luck starts deciding the whole match, that’s not strategy again. That’s gambling

RNG does not ruin anything if you ask me, it's the people that want to control everything complain more. I was playing one match when my network dipped a little, I came back and boom, one random outcome flipped the whole thing. I just laughed. That uncertainty keeps things fresh.
