| I would still argue that "lower strategic complexity" means less skill and therefore more luck. If riichi had uniform scoring it would be much less defensive but because my opponents hand could be worth ten times mine I have a lot of incentive to go on defense. |

Mahjong Picture
With ura-dora and such, hand values in riichi have become very fluctuating and unpredictable; you usually can't tell when your opponent has a big hand (especially since most of them have to be concealed), so the tendency is just to duck very low whenever your own hand is not very fit for winning.
I myself do like the strategic complexity of pattern-building mahjong. Zung Jung is designed so that its big hands are more detectable (than other versions including MCR and riichi).
