First of all, some of the comments here are laughable.
"Assuming everyone is equally skilled, it's all luck" can be said about anything.
Now on to the particular subject, when playing Beast builds far in the late game, Elistra the Immortal is unfortunately a necessity to avoid being destroyed by a Windfury minion. Another solution is to look for a golden Selfless Hero and taunt it, but often there is not enough time for that.
