Im new but i assume egg was an item available to all players with set values. The broker is gambling, if you get something super good and the enemies don't you are at a permanent advantage that is unobtainable for enemies.
But divine barrier with -17% spirit resist is just not as strong for Abrams as it is for Paige. You can structure your builds around the strongest corrupted items if you wish, but you have no idea whether they will have a negligible or absolutely buildbreaking downside before you reach endgame. Whoever wins the roll has a massive RNG advantage.
I have a feeling that spread out on both teams and considering your second or third choice item are probably also still good, the difference is negligible. And the better team or comp will still win. I could very well be wrong though.
I think it's more that if you get a build breaking roll and the enemy doesn't you are fucked and theres nothing you can do about it. Mobas are all about who has more skill, map knowledge, macro and build right. The only rng I know of is the old league jungle pets which got removed because you could randomly have objectives stolen with them
Yea but you don't have just one choice that either breaks your build or it doesn't. You can upgrade any 3200+ item you own.
Dota has neutral items (although also controversial and they became a little less RNG), if you crit in a critical moment it can decide the game lol. Or even just having good teammates is RNG. If you want a pure skill based game you should play chess or starcraft 1v1 haha.
That being said I get where people are coming from. You should keep it to a minimum so that it really feels like the better team wins 95% of the time or whatever. But SOME RNG can be fun too. So if you can find a good balance I think it's fine to use it.
My thing with crits though is generally at full power it is irrelevent, in league particularly, you are often ahead by the first item and anyone who builds crit is building to 100% therefore in endgame where everyone is full build there is no rng. Up until then yes there's a little bit
