Based on my playing semi-professional Poker, I see this mentality in that game as well.

I was going to put in "The people who disagree with me do so because they suck." as a parody of what you are saying but I see you helpfully put the parody in your post already.
I certainly don't recall, say, Team Pandemic laughing at how random the game is when they were on top. No sir, they loved the RNG. I specifically don't remember Noktyn bitching about how stupid and random mace spec was and wishing it didn't exist. I also don't recall Swarm caught on vent bitching endlessly about multiple random frostbite procs on him. I'm not going to put words into anybody's mouth and say most people at the top dislike the RNG, but I will say that there's enough of them that you can't just paint RNG dislike as a scrub phenomenon.
I know it's easier to discount an opinion by blindly calling the other side idots. But... lets not, yeah?
