I'm not gonna post a skills leaderboard per se, but I will name the current players that I think are a bit above the rest. I'll also include their country, loadouts, what I think about their playstyle, general impact on the game, strong and weak points, etc.
Eb/headshot
LittleJohnnn/ Ittybittytitty - US = eg (clip size), shotgun (sawed-off), eb, tk, rez, eve saver, death trap
= still the fastest and the most consistant eb/headshotter in the game imo, backs that up with lots of experience, decent no stun pistol aim, decent no stun shotty aim, decent nade primary user
= still a little too aggressive which sometimes works to his advantage but more often than not, he runs into too many people and then dies
= standard anti eb/headshot maneuvers are still effective against him (AD, nades)
Bairenyou - US = eg (clipsize), shotgun (sawed-off), eb, tk, rez, eve saver, fast feet (?)
= a little weaker with eb/headshot compared to LJ, but his nostun eg and shotgun is slightly better. Also a little bit less aggressive compared to LJ.
Nades
arctor88 - France = tube (rof), xbow (rof), houdini, AD, backstabber, legup, eve saver
= one of if not the best big daddy in the game (aim, positioning, movement, mine placement, map control)
= probably one of the most disruptive players in the game which makes him a really good teammate as his distracting opens up the playing field for his teammates.
= not the best fragger in the game, he's also a little too reliant on the BD suit to carry teams, not a dominating player by any means but probably the best teammate that you can ask for.
Mapleloop - Germany = tube (velocity boost), xbow (rof), eb, tk, legup, rez, either eve saver or fast feet
= compared to arctor, a better fragger.
MsFRobin - France = eg (damage increase), tube (rof)/ shotgun (sawed-off), eb, tk/geyser, expert researcher, rez, eve saver
= very defensive which makes him rather hard to kill. a map control-type of player
= his eb/headshot is average but makes up for it with smart nade usage and smart positioning.
= relies on tube and stuns too much up to the point wherein his no stun aim is a joke. Super tryhard and does every trick in the book (abuses barrels, ragequits when losing, suicides)
Special Mention average players
LuismiDjSpain - Spain = eg (clip size), pistol (damage increase), eb, AD, legup, fast feet, eve saver
= tbh, he's an average player but his pistol aim is pretty decent which caught my attention
GammaRayLiotta/ SkillzforBillz - Norway = fairly variable, uses eb/headshot + nades, slugger + AD + shotgun (rof) + legup, seems to dislike rez
= the only guy who decided to give the slugger primary playstyle an extended try and has become somewhat decent at it.
= also has a respectable no stun shotgun (rof) aim
NordicGoddess8 - New Zealand = eg (damage increase), xbow (rof)/ machinegun (firing boost/magazine size), eb, tk, rez, eve saver, fast feet
= or nade + fire + deathtrap loadout when she's mad
= has gotten slightly better but still does the same +forward tunnel vision, the only player on PC who uses eg (damage increase) box spam regularly, abuses barrels
IttyBittyLizzie - US = eg (clip size), xbow (rof), eb, tk, eve saver, legup, rez/fast feet
= decent stun + shoot player, weak no stuns, abuses barrels
Terijan01 - Lithuania = again another average player, but he caught my eye because he uses fire + machinegun +pistol exclusively and that's pretty rare for a lvl 40-50 player. And he's somewhat decent at it.
I can't really make a skills leaderboard because the only good (and by good, I mean above-average) players on that list are the top 5. And those top 5 are (imo) not dominating/great players. For the most part those top 5 all tryhard in every game (except LJ sometimes), and they still can't consistently dominate games. They're good players but even with full tryhard mode on, they just can't singlehandedly carry teams. Tbh, I have never really been impressed by a player ever since Kleptostar's prime. But even then, looking back on that now, she/he's just one of those players that peaked early and then quit while in her prime - similar to Winterized and Rybow73 of X360/PS3 fame. Klepto's probably on MsfRobin + LJ's skill level when she left.
PS. For the most part, these people are only capable of playing that one style/loadout that I listed there and what I listed's pretty accurate.
PPS. There are tons of average lvl 40-50's that play on the PC (mostly central europeans/ US/ Aussie/ Kiwis). Almost all of them use a combination of rez, nades, eb, eg(damage increase or clip size), tk, barrels, shotgun (sawed-off), xbow (rof), eve saver. Just pointed that out so you can see where these players stand in relation to their peers.
PPPS. This list only includes players that are CURRENTLY ACTIVE.
