RNG BASED: items cara champs shop champs attack target

Strat/RNG: choosing syng lvl specfic champ choosing what item to put on someone

Strat: champion placement

this is a list i made while half awake. as you can see there is pretty much one thing in the game that is Strat but even the one start is still kind of RNG because who they attack is random.. you just influence who it might be.

anyone of these points you would like explained or for god knows why to try to refute ill gladly respond

fun fact: to be pretty damn honest if you have a good enough team comp and items rng, you don't need to give two shits about placement :D

legit just made a post, got lucky for force of nature and had full elementalist package and shapeshifters with a tanky kassadin and pretty much won off swain alone. strong tank, put him in front. mages, put backline. The enemy got a 3 item akali? idc my backlines dead my swain just 1v5. its stupid :|

also yeah i can see you are half awake when you made it considering how u misspelled strategy lul [sg-zephyr]

the skill is how well u can make decisions based on the rng presented to you

you missed two important RNNG factors:

In fight RNG(crit, glacial, demons...) Matchmakeing(phaseing the currently strongest or a counter setup multiple times in a row)

Then there are things that increase the RNG impact like the hardcounter designs. Got a carry with SotD? Good luck dealing 0 damage to PD users... Run mages and face a Dragon comp? to bad... Have a fed 3star darius? Face morello/redbuff and get 100% heal reduce...

such hard counters in a mode there you can't directly react to them are just bullshit. IF you would see the enemie setup befor the fight and could adjust positioning acordingly so your darius doesn't face the redbuff dude, it would have some skill check, but right now, tactical decisions are VERY limited untill it's only 2 or 3 players left.

Sure, there is some skill involved, and over many games good players win a bit more than they loose, but RNG has a MASSIVE impact on the game.

RNG keeps skilled players from winning 90% of their games but it doesn't keep you from top 4 most of the time. 9/10 of my games I will be in the top 4, I guarantee.

Thats.. the point of auto chess? It's how you handle what is given to you, kinda like most card games, they are mostly luck, the way you get good is how you deal with the situation given to you.

You lack understanding of Luck vs "strategy" aka skill. If you're actually interested in gaining a better understanding the below video will explain why you're wrong, Relevant part is 2:25ish to 6 mins ish

I agree with Pudge. You don't understand Strategy.

Strategy: Knowing each tier of champion only has a certain number of cards which can be drawn among an 8 player pool, watching what people field and building other champions while hoarding their teams' cards so they can't promote.

Strategy: Knowing Carousels are artificial catchup mechanisms you can exploit. Don't be 100 HP at a Carousel; be one of the bottom 2, at least for the first 2 rounds (Get a free Force of Nature or guarantee your Shojins/Lockets)

Strategy; choosing a team that almost has all synergies, but saving a spatula to turn on extra champion traits which make you OP.

Strategy: Fielding Blitzcrank vs an ADC heavy team roster.

Strategy: knowing that you gain more gold depending on how much gold you already have, and conserving it on rounds you wouldn't level up anyways.
