Players constantly argue over whether randomness adds exciting unpredictability or ruins the integrity of esports.
However, it still exists in subtle ways that can completely alter the outcome of a very close match.

Relying on a unit's aggro range down to the exact pixel is risky because tiny bumps can alter their trajectory.
