Its generally a good game but this "touch of randomness" makes a great loss in terms of competition. For me it opens up the question wether I spend more or less time with this game. If I get the feeling that i dont have that much control over an outcome of a game I lose interest. Not sure but I think this is natural.
Lets take an example: The Lottery. I have no control whatsoever over the outcome of the Lottery. So why do i play it? there is an incentive: Money. BIG time Money.
So if you take a game like T11 (with more control i must admit) with no incentive at all (compared to winning the lottery) why should I waste my time? Maybe my friends play aswell? Yup they do but not in my league...so no incentive there either.
Now this is not the end of the world. But as developer wouldn't I be interested in having as much players enjoying their T11 experience? And i'm sure there are many that do. And I hope the next couple of weeks/months will change my mind.
