>>5741278Most of the people I knew who were addicted to league of legends were firmly in silver, only occasionally peeking into low gold. Only a handful actually managed to make it to diamond and above. Playing games a lot doesn't mean getting any good at them, it's a different thing.
I think for any given competitive game the 'core' audience, who might play quite a bit, never achieve a notable level of skill. Counter strike, League, Dota, Tekken 7, etc. All pretty popular and the average player is terrible. And yet if you go to their steam pages you will see thousands of hours in games like these, they play every single day.
