Random Number Generation, or RNG, is a highly debated topic in almost every competitive video game genre.

However, it still exists in subtle ways that can completely alter the outcome of a very close match.

Once the initial hand is played, the rotation becomes fixed, and pure skill and memory take over.

Sometimes a unit will retarget unexpectedly due to a micro-movement by another troop, completely ruining your defensive setup.
