saying that luck ONLy comes into play with the rng is silly, and purposely ignorant. the rng essentially represents 'luck', and affects almost every single decision.
my poker analogy makes sense, as while once the cards are shuffled the order of cards cannot change (thoguh thats not entirely true, int eh case of a mistake the order can in fact change for one of the cards, but anyway...) - the exact order is an unknown quantity. my point is that at a certain point in holdem poker (specifically pre-river)- one might make the best decision in the history of decsion-making, but it is still subject to chance - just like almost all decisions in kongai. you might know every in and out, and know all the percentages of any given matchup, but no matter what you say or think or do, most of your decisions are at the mercy of the rng and therefore luck.

To wringsteak (and dallen): though luck surely plays a part in Kongai, your poker analogy does not make sense. Kongai is not a game of determinism - each action, each decision, is not laid out in order before each match starts, as in the case of poker. In poker, once the deck is shuffled, you cannot change the order of the cards. In Kongai, each turn is another opportunity to make a new "call". Luck ONLY comes into play involving the random number generator, nothing more. Twinge's argument makes more sense.

to illustrate: in poker, if you make the best call in the world pre-flop - i mean you picked the exact number and suit of the other player's cards, determined the exact % you are ahead when making the call, everything; it doesnt really matter, because despite having made some almost magically psychic reading, youve still gotta wait for the cards to come out.
the same happens almost every time you and your opponent hit whatever attack they think is the best option.

@ twinge: some people are just lucky. any quantification of luck is mere speculation. in my opinion it counts for more than anything simply because it modifies almost every decision a player makes. certainly strategy/tactics/experience play an important role, but no matter how good ones decisions may be, those decisions are still subject to the roll of the dice.

This game is epic, though there needs to be more cards to use as it's getting boring facing the same old cards with the same old cards over and over.

Comments are as brilliant as usual! Today we address the luck issue. I want the class to go to the achievements page and look at the all time top rank points (ignore the hacked #1 spot). Look at all of the top 25, but especially the top 2. Now consider the fact that almost anyone these top 2 players play against, they stand to lose 150 rank points if they lose and win only 50 points if they win. What does that tell you? The game literally cannot be more than around 25% luck overall, or they wouldn't be where they are, because they literally have to win 3 games for every 1 they lose just to stay even.
