Competitive gaming primarily only exists in LoL, Starcraft 2 and Quake Live. All the other games are casual spoofs that promote them self on being competitive, while they clearly aren't.
Competitive gamers will achieve nothing by begging them to make them less random, since that's their intention, to make everyone feel like a winner.
I'm saying this because of the big number of time that people spend on forums like 343i's promoting self explained fixes. While they might think that they are achieving something, they aren't, since this isn't the developer's intention to make the game fully competitive.
I hope that you'll get honest like I did, after witnessing the holy competitive grail of the staff that represent Starcraft and their 100% focus on competition.
LoL is a casual MOBA game. It's beauty is the fact that it is a casual game that can cater to high competition because MOBA games have an efficient system to create game balance. Also, Starcraft 2 is basically dead, as League of Legends has basically taken the splotlight.
Console games are going to be a thing in the past for competitive play, because they offer nothing innovative in their genres. League set a new standard for MOBAs while games like Halo 3 and Call of Duty set a standard long ago for shooters.
The best competitive game I played had to be GvG in Guild Wars. There was so much complexity in its design that it just offered so much to the engineer within me to make teams set for that type of PvP.
