The name is self explanatory. Think of something like a turn based RPG. If there were any Pro gamers, theyre not going to be any better at it 5an normal people because the skill ceiling is low. Whereas if you look at an RTS, certain FPS, fighting games, etc., the skill ceiling is insanely high, so the difference between a pro and a regular gamer is going to be earth to sky.

Not quite. Just use Pokemon as the easy example. I'm willing to bet I can beat 19 people out of 20 in a Bo3 on this board in ranbats right now.

Of course the gulf changes depending on the complexity of the games in question, but something like Dive Kick is a hell of a lot less complex than Pokemon. You're right that the difference will often be a lot clearer though.

Basically, look at how much work/effort it takes to get baseline basic "decent" results with something and compare it to its competition. Using LoL as an example, I taught my sibling how to play Trynd to a Gold rank level in a day. If I tried to do the same but with Jax, or Gnar, or Ornn, it would've taken a hell of a lot longer. And don't even get me started on Riven/Cam/Fiora/Irelia/Yas.

Actually the Yas VS Yone comparison does wonders, as does Talon VS Zed.
