That's sorta the thing. In quake kinda games the biggest skill is in aiming and that's about it. The skill focuses elsewhere in games like BF/CoD (neither being anywhere near my favourite shooters anyways, though).
When anyone can just as easily "lol 3 shot spray" you to death, the skilled people are those who get the kills without dying themselves. In low TTK games it's more about reactions, twitch aiming, cover, location and even teamwork.
I'm not saying that the "non quake games" require less skill, but to imply that tracking a target is the only thing that requires skill in gaming is wrong too.
