The Slice is Right

Yeah because RNG always makes a skill-based challenge fun. Nothing better than being good at something but getting screwed over by a coin flip.

Trying to think of skill based challenges in video games that completely lack any RNG element.

I'm failing. Perhaps you can list a few.

People get rapidly bored with any content that's too predictable. Random elements in moderation help keep content fresh longer. It's only when that random factor leads to repeated failure with little to no success that the fun fades away.

It's also a rather silly argument to make about something in what's basically an indoor carnival filled with games of chance. At least here the games usually rigged in your favor instead of against it.
