What is so hard about CS? I haven't played it in years, so am admittedly bad at it, but it was a pretty straight forward point and shoot game iirc. Sure, it is really competitive, but I don't think that is the same as being hard. I'd argue HLDM took way more skill to actually be good at than CS did. You had to master movement, multiple weapons and when to use them, resource management, etc, all on top of being good at pointing and shooting. Go watch the classic Garpy vs Lynx 1v1 on youtube sometime and tell me that game isn't inherently harder to be good at than CS.
Rust is the shit, but not really that hard to be good at. It is more about being lucky and overcoming frustration than any actual skill. If you spend enough time on aim train servers mastering the recoil patterns you can get good at the combat aspect of Rust pretty quickly, and learning how to build / prioritize resource gathering is pretty simple. The big X factor in Rust is luck and how you handle it when you have bad luck. Door camper kills you coming home with an inventory of farm? 10 man clan moves in next door? Roof camper L9s you from a couple grids away? Of course with hindsight there are ways to avoid those things, but realistically it is just shitty luck, and a lot of people have trouble handling that.
