Good aim is invaluable. But bad aim is hardly any real handicap in a game with skill-based matchmaking. You mostly get lumped in with other "bad" players and the wheels on the bus go round and round. Which is not to say that I don't believe in making any effort to improve. But as I've said before, I'm 20,000 matches into this game. When will I get better? How much more experience and practice is needed (let alone realistic)?
I recently read something about Dr. Disrespect saying that the problem with CoD is that it doesn't have the high skill ceiling of Apex. I'm sure it would upset him, and possibly you as well, to hear me say this, but the skill ceiling in this game is too high. By a big margin. BIG. I'm not saying that 20,000 should automatically make me the best in the game, but when that many matches go by without bringing me any closer to the stuff I see on youtube... then the developer has made a design decision that benefits the top 3% at the expense of their every-day playerbase. They haven't made the game unplayable for me, but they've hardly done anything to reward persistence, longevity, or loyalty.

AMEN!!!
Say it louder for the kids in the back.
This right here is why I quit. When I just feel like I am meat for the Streamers to have easy kills with, not getting put with similar skill so we can all slowly improve, why would I invest more time when I already have a full-time job plus?
This just makes folks go back to single player games that respect our time.
