Why creating a ranked mode in a full random game ? (A.K.A T.F.T)

Hello guys, So, basically, since I understood that TFT is too much based on the luck of having a good shop, items you barely loot every full moon with the whole galaxy aligned with the sun and the fact you have to hope that your opponents don't pick your champions, I'm asking myself : Why a ranked mode on this game Riot ? Didn't you say that because ARAM was random, you couldn't add a ranked mode ? And now, you release a new game mode as random as ARAM, or maybe even worse since you REALLY need luck to have the things you need, you don't truly have comeback chances (How do I change my build right in the mid-game huh?) if your game sucks from the beginning. So I'm legit asking for the removal of the ranked mode of TFT, otherwise, add a ranked mode on ARAM.

aram is way far more random then tft

i can consistently get top 4 in tft [which as far as i know would yield me lp] because smart decisions will make you win more often then you expect and randomness can be lowered with balancing [tbh only true randomness is item droping from minions, everything else can be easily played around] , adepting to your shop and changing tactics mid game won me first play a lot of times [i have sold 2 stars units to many times or even 3 stars ones to change tactics btw]

aram? you get a good comp and stomp or you get a bad one and cry in corner , i know ranked aram will only mean most ppl will just create new accounts [aka aram accounts] and play the mode and hope they dont get the bad champions from rotations , and unlike tft they cant fix randomness because its the mode name.

Honestly, as long as their is ANY pure rng anywhere in it it is unfit for being a ranked mode. Psuedo rng of some given form can be fine, but pure rng invalidates any competitive aspect.

Store uses pure rng? Game can't be ranked. Minions/monsters use pure rng to determine if they drop an item? Game can't be ranked. Glacial has a pure rng % chance to proc? Game can't be ranked. Gunslingers have a pure rng % chance to do their thing? Game can't be ranked. Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc.

Of course, this also means that regular LoL is unfit to be a ranked game because of crit chance, but I can forgive that due to the option to not build it at all or build it to 100%. Regardless of my forgiveness it does need to be reworked to not use pure rng.

At any rate back to TFT there is just way too much pure rng all over it to even think about forgiving any of it, so Riot should not even consider ranking it in any way.

I'm guessing it's like because the game is kind of like Poker.
