Be honest, how much is the skill/RNG ratio?

Because I'm not denying that skill isn't a factor, but most times it feels like that the RNG dominates this whole gamemode. First we have the item RNG, then we have the champion RNG, and then we also have the match RNG. The last one is basically the outcome of a fight if nothing is changed. Sometimes I got matched with the same composition multiple times in a row and nothing was changed, but the outcome of each fight really differed. Not to mention we still have item/champion effect RNG like Curse Strike sometimes procs in the beginning of the fight, and sometimes it doesn't even proc. I understand that RNG should be part of the game, but seriously this is ridiculous.

5%/95% You need a functioning brain, bottom line. the rest is rng

50/50.

You need some serious skills to be able to handle what the game throws at you, but the RNG factor right now is too prominent.

It's pretty low "skill" and more strategy and adaptability. RNG plays a pretty big factor, but there's still definitely ways to play around it.

RNG will rarely fuck you hard enough to cause you to go below 6th if you're better than the other players. Any smurfs for it should never get 8th, and will probably never get 7th except in insanely bad luck scenarios (such as an opponent with t1 glacials getting a stun in 60% of autos).

There's definitely strategy to winning. It's got a hefty amount of RNG, but it's far from totally decided by it.

75%/25% rng might deny you 1st place but you can consistently get top 4 if you are better then the other players and will climb

I dunno. I'd lean on the skill side because I've very often let myself get to like 7 hp and go from 7th to 1st. However, I also run into games where my econ is good, my team is solid, but I'm about 3 full items behind at least 4 other players. This one has been happening more often I've noticed as I've now had to start planning around getting gold the first 3 minion rounds, then get one, if I'm lucky two, items from wolves and raptors and usually I get at least 1 from Krugs. At the point of raptors though, I've noticed I'm at least 2 full items behind the top 4 people.

Bit of a rant, but to summarize, I'd say 35% 65% leaning on RNG over skill. (This is all avoiding PBE issues, such as a dupe glitch going around being real stupid)

RNG only dominates when it comes to items, do you know how many times ive seen someone only need 1 champ and its in the carousel for someone to complete nobles etc and no one picking before takes it? all the time. ill even say "take swain or so and so has 6 shapeshifters"

only time i pretty much bitch that item rng won for them so when they have 3 red buffs.

This is not a troll its literally 99% Luck and 1% "skill". In every single game i won i was like "jeah ok i mean i have 8 items and my enemys have 2" no big achievement tbh. Its made so every low IQ player can experience winning without actually doing anything. This shit doesnt belong to league .. but hey only money counts and little legends etc sell like crazy i guess. Gj rito at least the money is flowing right guys hehe. FeelsWeirdMan
