Lucky Or Unlucky Dice Rolls Ruining A Game?

What about the case of a game that has most of the party making either really bad rolls all the time or really good rolls all the time could this lead to a really boring outcome or take away the enthusiasm to play? How would a Dungeon Master cater for that, just kill the party and start over in the case of a party that was always unlucky?

I think if we were genuinely unlucky we would be rolling up often.

I've questioned the randomness of the RNG as well. I've seen things with it that I just don't see with dice. I haven't seen bad rolls ruin a game. I have had unlucky characters that it just destroyed the enjoyment of playing them. When it seems as if the character is cursed and just rolls consistently low the whole game it is incredibly frustrating.
