If you had to put an arbitrary percent on it what would yours be.

Starting Picks: 60%
Teamwork: 20%
In Game Decision Making: 15%
Luck: 5%

Wouldn't we need a template to determine that?

Each game has its own variation. You can't put a number on it. That's the beauty of it.

It doesn't have to be so in depth. Just give a general idea of your opinion on what matters most. The other details aren't important.

initially i was goign to post this to accentuate my stupidity, then i thought: i dont actually know the percentages but some of the topics overlap, so this would make much more sense than the simple 100% the other guy proposed

depends on the settings. If you are playing %0 SR with cyclical move order, luck is basically non existent. If you are playing Auto distribution %75 luck it is huge.

To hard to put numbers to something (even ballpark numbers) without a template for context.

Allowing any female teammates to pick first. Chivalry is the deciding factor.

I actually somewhat agree with Pink, and Chris.

In my opinion teamwork and communication are the most important.

I'd say picks play a huge role. But, on equal terms of luck, smart tactical decisions matched with strategic plans will get any operation to succeed.

someone agreeing with me? and he is not my alt? somethign strange is happening here

Luck is much more than just a simple 3v2. Its more about getting your first pick, the picking order, getting first order, defending the right area in a double border scenario, getting a nice card in random card games etc.

Teamwork is also crucial. Picks coordination or mirror picking, playing the game like a 2v2 team early on rather than 2 players playing 1v1 will help.

Picks are usually deciding factor in top tier games, where skill of both players (expansion and attacking wise), is near perfect and similar.

Play isn't as crucial as the others for the reason explained, but out-predicting your opponent helps i suppose.
