skill to the point that a focused roster can beat someone who is just picking random toons they like and upgrading them. at a certain gp difference it will be blunt force so skill will only take you so far. at 1.7mil gp im in bronze 3 (highest was bronze 2) but my roster has some focus (not hardcore slkr rush but fairly focused) with solid modding since i know what im doing. so far my win % against people with my gp is very good, even beat 1 or 2 with 1mil more but thats about the extent of it for me. more skill than before yes, totally skill based, def not
Think of it this way, a lot of people with 7 million GP think it's easier to beat someone with 8 million GP, why do you think that is? Because even though there's a million difference, it's not the same proportion as someone with 1 million GP versing someone with 2 million GP. For people with 7 million GP you'd have to verse someone with 14 million GP to experience the same effect. That's why the lower half of the community is so insanely disproportionately affected by the GP differences here whereas larger rosters can manage this. Everyone here has obvious cognitive dissonance around this issue. Newer players suffer greatly because of this ratio, it isn't until you hit 6 million GP where the ratio begins to equalize, but until then that's why no one with 2 million GP will hit kyber ever.
