Wat.... this makes no sense. It sounds like you're saying that learning game mechanics and enemy weakness takes no skill, while simply shooting stuff till it's dead is what actually takes skill??
Go back and think about it for a bit.
Why do some people die a lot in this game with a full team while others have no problem to solo gold or platinum without dying once? You have to react fast, you have to know where enemies are all the time, you need to play intelligent. The better you are at those things the better of a player you will become. If you are just learning the game mechanics you give yourself a crutch, but for a lot of people that is not enough.
Give a basketball player a place as a midfielder in soccer, he might be terrible at using his feets together with a ball even though his hands are amazing for the same purpose. He might have a very good awareness on a small basketball court but on a bigger soccer field he can't keep track of what's going on. Give him all the knowledge that he needs to be a really good player and he will still not be good, and why is that? Because he is not a good soccer player!
(my example is not meant to include every player, but it is a fixed scenario and you get the idea)
