I agree completely with your story, but I completely disagree with your conclusion.
If you pit 8 nearly equally skilled players into a match, item boxes may often be the determining factor. That doesn't mean that luck is dominant - far from it. If you put differently skilled players, luck won't change anything. Thus, luck cannot always change the outcome. Does that mean that luck is dominant? Far from it.
Luck is something that occasionally changes the outcome, so you always have to give it your best. This prevents there being maps where one player is greatly superior and doesn't have to give his or her best.
