This initial dose of RNG can drastically alter the flow of the match, occasionally creating scenarios where a player is mathematically guaranteed to take massive damage before they can even react.

This is intensely frustrating because the damage was not caused by a strategic error or a misplay, but purely by the random shuffle of the deck.
A cheap deck can fix a bad rotation in 3 seconds; a heavy deck cannot.If you have the perfect counter, you win the game instantly.Do not let a bad starting hand tilt you into losing the next five matches. The First Play Gamble
Conversely, the RNG of starting hands creates opportunities for massive, immediate advantages if you are willing to take a calculated risk.

They will then launch a massive counter-push with a significant elixir advantage, likely resulting in you losing a tower immediately.
