. and then make more crap for them to buy . <| sep |> In October 2011 , my last job let me go . I had been scheduled for oncall in December during the week that included our holiday party . I heard from friends still employed there that shit blew up at three different clients , to the point where multiple people had to leave the party and go to the office , and they were there until 2 or 3 am sorting it out . I was already happy to be gone from that place , but hearing that I had dodged that bullet was truly the cherry on top . <| sep |> Thanks ! It is helpful indeed . <| sep |> New comment please ~ and take your time ! <| sep |> Oh , to make it clear I am not denying that RNG plays a role , and I am also very much in favor of reducing the range of rng notably boom bots being 14 and not 23 was preposterous . My point was that RNG lower role than many are inclined to believe . Let ' s take the situation you describe as an example Yes , the lightning storm rolls were unfortunate , but could you have avoided it being game losing by keeping minions in hand for instance ? If you see the firebat vs shaman game linked above , toward the end firebat could probably have lost if he played out more minions into the lightning storm . However , he kept the minion in hand and forced his opponent into getting less value . When you are playing , these things are very hard to miss as you seldom focus on decisions that could have hurt you way back in time . That was point people underestimate how much they can mitigate bad luck , therefore making it seem more RNG . Ironically , people also underestimate how much it means to play to get lucky when you have no other ways of winning !
