Why aren't there high skill shooters anymore?

They're shitty shooting games with no strategy that work by layering their bullshit on a number of RNG layers to be as accessible as possible
Shooters aren't JUST about mechanical skill, yet those pieces of shit offer no depth beyond that initial wall
Even CoD is more of a thinking man's game

>Overwatch
>high skill
holy fuck bro

What pro team are you on?

not him but if you're retarded enough to think this is a valid argument then I can understand why overwatch would seem "high skill" to your npc brain

>random spots
Your zoomer is show

Try planetside 2

Try Siege unironically

The skills are higher now.

Pressing R, E, and counterpicking isnt skill my guy, it detracts from actual gunplay determining victor and in many cases is a get out of free card for poor positioning a-la-offence characters like tracer and reaper. In tf2 rocket and sticky jumps require practice, and sacrifice health + loaded ammo. Every time a scout makes his second jump he's predictable as to where he lands becoming easy to punish.

Sure is telling how not one arena 'royale' shooter was announced

Fortnite unironically has a huge skill ceiling.

How? Seriously

spamming buildings is hard

I was born a brainlet, every shooter is high skill for me.

BR games while higher skill have such a low level of gunplay per hour. The lone wolf players who drop asap at the biggest fights know it. Any of the BRs would be 10x better if they were fast respawn king of the hills with none of the gear searching involved, but that's not marketable enough for publishers.

When were they?

Being good at building and being able to outbuild and create opportunities does require skill in and by itself.

The skill level in BR games is still lower than something like CSGO or Siege

Higher skill than overwatch is what I ment to say. mb

part 2 is better

It's just meaningless APM and muscle memory. Building and outbuilding require no strategy and make combat pretty fucking stale. It's a fight of resource expenditure between two equally skilled players and unironically decided most of the time by who has the initial advantage and who was blessed by the RNG gods.

how can you be this fucking retarded

Sounds like you have to make a decision at some point whether or not you should disengage.

Or you can just blame rng and do some mental gymnastics to help you cope

Yeah because using your leftover resources to just build retreat after you hit a certain threshold is so strategic am I right

Thanks for reminding me how eternally fucked rap is. East side rap is dead and I hate it, the rhythm is gone and its all about how pretty the sound effects you add sound to the lyrics. I HATE IT ALL

lots of quakefags use low sens

Quake pros play on pretty low sens and 400 DPI though
Just get a huge mousepad

i dont like fortnite, but building is arguably one of the most difficult mechanics to master in a shooter. not saying thats a good or bad thing but objectively the muscle memory required to be good at it is insane

Really? Guess I'm just not used enough to getting circlestrafed then, which isn't at all surprising given what I do play. Is there an alive arena shooter though? And if it's only Slipgate, do the portals make it as much of a giant clusterfuck as it seems they would?

>no skill in pubg

There's Quake Live and Quake Champions.

He didn't say no skill. He implied low/medium skill.
>can't even into basic reading comprehension
wew
It's low skill.

you're right camping a building for 10 minutes is pretty high skill

>what is cs
>what is r6 siege

dead games

they're bigger than quake ever was

Oh, well fuck I'm dumb. I thought Quake Live's servers went offline a couple years ago. Quake Champions I've avoided intentionally because it seems to want to be a hero shooter. I'll grab Quake Live soon then. And then get shitstomped for 500 hours by the 300 people still playing it, all of whom are very used to playing arena shooters. Such is life though.

Arena shooters are actually pretty simple and easy to learn, don't worry that much about it

sorry man, eazy e was my damn 3rd nipple when I was 5, I still smell that scent when me and my older brother had nothing but his shit radio and the snes we from our rich uncle

and they're still dead as fuck, gaming was a niche hobby in the 90s and early 00s back when Quake was popular

and thats without the uplay numbers for siege

Not high skill shooters

They're more aim and strat intensive than Quake

siege is probably the fps with the highest skill floor

That's CoD on console.
