Sounds like skill issue to be honest

Seeing this crop up as a semi-frequent response before the game is even out yet isn’t really selling me on it. I definitely see myself as skill-challenged, so it sounds like I won’t like the game much and anyone I end up playing with probably wouldn’t like me much either.

That's a totally fair assessment and is true of any competitive game, really. It's my largest personal reservation about the game also, currently: will I ever be good enough at the game to enjoy it properly? The jury is still out on it for me, frankly. I haven't played a fast paced shooter in a long time and I've never been an aiming master. I'm also getting on in age. We'll see how I feel after a few weeks, whether I feel like I'm improving or not.
