>>23183286You obviously haven't played dota because I'm not even in any sort of high level, and games do get decided by crits. If you are in a lategame teamfight and get permabashed by Troll Warlord, you're down for somewhere around 2 minutes, and in a moba, that's a LONG time, plenty of time for the enemy team to destroy your base and win the game. Watch a pro game some time soon, The Summit 3 qualifiers are being played currently and the main event will be in May, so watch that and you'll see how it can come down to random chance.
Recently, for a specific example, there was a player farming in the jungle and would have been able to cast their escape ability had they not been permabashed by Troll Warlord in his melee form, and the player happened to be the hard carry, so they were able to take advantage of the dead carry and siege the base and win the game.
