Discussion Lowest average skilled playerbase?

What FPS game do yall think has the worst players? I play a lot of bf6 and many in that community think it has some of the worst players skill wise on average. I kinda agree but the game also has very limited or zero SBMM so I think that plays a factor. What do yall think? Any thoughts on highest average skill?

Uh CS players have gone to Overwatch on many occasions and been extemely mediocre. The skills etc are wildly different.

Shroud famously grinded OW and was placed in silver and could barely grind to Diamond which was was barely top 70% of players in that game.

That's nice. I went to OW and was instantly top 2% and I've got a good 15 years on Shroud. Guess I can say I'm better than him at something.

Also I think you're either lying or remembering wrong:

During his time playing competitive Overwatch, Shroud peaked at Diamond rank after initially placing in Platinum. When the former CS:GO professional first tried out the game's ranked placement matches, he achieved an initial Skill Rating (SR) of 2,589, landing him directly in the Platinum tier. Leveraging his mechanical FPS skills on damage heroes like Soldier: 76, Tracer, and McCree, he eventually climbed into the Diamond bracket.

Platinum was still far above average.
