The main point of the quote was that no - missing half the time constantly is simply not fun in a video game like this. There is a reason why Xcom is such a meme and its hit rates are higher as is. People need to remember that this is not a tabletop game, we will have much more combat here, much more frequently than in any of the TT runs.
To their defense, modern XCOM games (especially the second) give you plenty of tools to mitigate randomness. Sure hit skills, explosives, psionic powers, elevation, flanking, etc.. all contribute to significantly raise your chances to do guaranteed damage.
In fact among experienced players there's a saying that any time you are "relying on a dice roll" you are making a fundamental mistake. I rarely even attempt anything below 85% in XCOM 2 and often I manage to play entire missions without a single miss.
People who go around bitching that they miss a lot and that the RNG is bullshit can't play for shit.
