The Fields of Glory (Shatter)

[Kyani]

It's not about crystals being worth it or not - it's the non-random nature of spawns leading to situations where you will never be the advantaged team on a node in the late game. This is something that's only possible because the game eliminates possibilities as the match goes on.

Unmitigated RNG is bad. Knowing you never had a shot to mitigate it in the first place is worse.
