User blog comment:Fistful of Force/Winning is not random./@comment-5677953-20121220133149/@comment-5194571-20121220163203

These two comments... Feels like I'm at anphilosophy lecture back at college. It's nice.

There IS an element of randomness. The majority of that is who you get on your team, others are things like Phage procs, crits etc... Sure, it's random who you end up with, but you're stuck with them regardless. This is when phychology comes in. If you want to deal with that random element of having idiots on your team, then control them yourself. I use phychological trickery to not only control my lane opponent and therefore, win trades and my lane, but I also use other tricks to keep my team in line and following my judgement. Even if my judgement is wrong, it's better we're all thinking/doing the same thing rather than doing stuff on our own.

In short, psychology is the answer to everything in this game. From improving yourself to using your team to your advantage to outwitting your enemy, psychology is god in this game, it controls everything that isn't mechanical. Want to beat randomness? Psychology my dear LoL players, psychology.
