Did you play the first game?

RNG with Status effects WAS dice rolling in D:OS1. You rolled your chance to stun and the enemie rolled his chance to resist. Better stats and your chance to succeed was higher, debuff your enemie to increase the chance to succeed even further, like make him wet. Increase your own bodybuilding/Will power to increase your own chances of resisting in return.


Also saying there is hardly any RNG in the game is stupid:
- Doing max or minimum damage is RNG
- Doing critical damage is even more RNG, except if you raged to do it
- Hitting is RNG
- Dodging is RNG to reduce Hit chance even further
- Looting is mostly RNG
- Critical looting with Lucky Charme is even more RNG
- Quest rewards are often RNG aswell, like the well
- Items offered by a trader are mostly RNG too
- Item modifications are so heavily RNG that you can have a Str-Weapon that will give you + on Int and therefore will be totally useless

Not sure, if I forgot something, but saying there is hardly any RNG left is just stupid.
