The sad thing to me about this thread is that rational, intelligent people are putting forth an argument that the best counter for is "QQ more noob." So you don't like getting screwed randomly. We get that. I think there's more than enough evidence in this thread now that sports has a lot of randomness. I think there's also a lot of good points that say the RNG is the least of WoW's worries when it comes to being an eSport. It's also plainly obvious that the design of WoW in general includes a random element and that is going to stay. So throwing out completely made up statistics and beating this dead horse is increasingly pointless.

Quite frankly, you aren't getting screwed as much as you think you are, that's just a fact of life. There's a simple, fundamental difference between the two sides that can't be resolved. Some of us (and I'd wager most of us, and Blizzard) think that it's a good thing that sometimes, by the roll of the dice, you catch a break and get lucky. The OP and those on his side think that luck only means you get screwed and it should be removed completely. You don't seem to care that those dice fall in your favor just as often as they fall for the other side.

A wise man once said "I don't want life to be fair. If life was fair, it would mean I deserve all the bad things that happen to me."
