Thank you for the long post Synatrax. I agree with a lot of what you say.
- The uncontrollable - I enjoy the RNG a lot in CoH2, yeah, i also miss Sync-Kills from Dawn of War Franchise, but for E-Sports its horrible. Give a look at the succesfull E-Sports games. Counterstrike, DoTA, Starcraft, League of Legends.. in all that games the players have full controll about the game mechanics. They can fail or win with on his own made game mechanic fails or wins. Counterstrike aiming, your knowledge of the game can be great, but when you never hit, you will lose due the gamemechanic. Also with Starcraft, if you are more worse in macro than you enemy, you will lose, nevermind you had the better strategy. In CoH2 you dont have the full controll about the game mechanic in fact. Maybe the shot penetrates, maybe 4 times in a row not. Also the retreat thing, that we all love, make the game more uncontrollable. I like the retreat thing, but for E-Sports its bad. - No Solutions, i like it.

I have heard this being said since the beginning of COH 1. RNG is what makes this game great. RNG is also in every other sport in the world. We just don't know it as RNG. We just call it luck. RNG is what made poker a huge success and spectators love it. People love knowing that on any given day a fan boy can beat a pro. But we all know that skill will overcome luck in the long run.
Without RNG this game would be fun, but boring.
