Average Skill Players Gone

In competitive games that manage to keep a healthy player base over a longer period of time, the average skill level is usually always increasing. When I started to play LoL back in 2011, I could actually learn the game during my first 30 levels because everyone were more or less noobs. If you start a new account now, you wont have that luxury anymore. Even a first time LoL player usually have some basic understanding for the main concept of the game like last hitting, lane roles, itemization etc. Its the same with Apex. The averages kill level has increased.   

Whats sad is that the correlation between rank and skill seems to be even worse than in the old system. My ranked KD has literally gone from <1 in bronze to 2.3 in high gold hrmm. Probably due to all low skilled players who gain alot of RP from ratting. Thats not a very good sign imo.
