What is organized play if you have to have immediate skill to experience it?

I don't think that the reason people deathmatch is because the game is too hard. In fact, i think that most of the mechanics are pretty easy (you can bunnyhop without having to keep pressing the space bar, concjumping is pretty much just waiting till the timer runs out and jumping, etc). If you look up the game Gunz, its a game with a crazy learning curve due to all the glitches and movement techniques in it but it is still pretty popular whereas it would have probably died without them.
The reason is that killing people is fun and public players aren't competing so there's no real incentive for capping flags. Also since this game has instant spawn, killing people doesn't really help to cap the flag.
