An e-sports demigod and a fresh player using DK bongos should be made similarly effective.
So the distance between the skill floor and skill ceiling of every game should be zero? Ought we have fun by playing Chutes and Ladders and nothing else?
the part everyone’s performatively sneering at. We’re talking about smurfing. We’re talking about matches between newbies. Stop making me underline this. Y’all can read.
For clarity, “low skill games” doesn’t refer to video or board games that require little skill (e.g. Chutes and Ladders, Tic Tac Toe, etc.) but rather individual matches between low-skill players in games where there is a distance between skill floor and ceiling?

Yes.
The kind of matches where smurfing is relevant.
Smurfing, the topic explicitly referenced by “if good players wading in among the noobs is such a huge problem.”
