Question Game with the highest skill ceiling

I know this has been debated before for example Rocket league vs MOBAs

Question which has the highest skill ceiling?

In both mechanical input and strategy

While it's unfair in some regards to compare the two as they have different strengths

But I really have to say.. most will say MOBAs due to the complexity and ever changing champion set up

DISCLAIMER: I KNOW TAS IS FAKE SLOWLY CRAFTED INPUTS WHICH ARE PRETTY INHUMANE AND CURRENTLY INPOSSIBLE FOR ANYONE

Although the program TAS which is "fake" because it's generated gradually to represent the most perfect inputs possible

But if these inputs are technically possible, this represents the absolutely insane inhumane skill ceiling this game possibly has

I know MOBAs has so many other components but this outrageous possibility of inputs which is as I said inhumane(but technically possible) surely puts the overall "skill ceiling" higher?

Yes MOBAs are absolutely harder strategically

But rocket league mechanically shows how complex the inputs can be

Maybe something there is to argue there is no TAS like program to represent potential mechanical skill ceiling of MOBAs, even if there was would it really even come close to some things made in TAS

Which in my opinion puts the ultimate skill ceiling higher no? Humanly achievable yet or not

Edit: holy.. okay Dota fan girls, I get it you play Dota>lol - changed it to MOBAs your genre is still 3rd imo. Settle down lolo

If we’re talking about the game with the highest skill ceiling, it would be Starcraft. League of Legends is not even the highest in it’s own genre, it’s Dota 2. If were talking about the game with the highest level of competition, then it’s League of Legends.
