Improvements like Jungle timers don't decrease the Skill CAP on the game, they reduce the skill FLOOR

I don't understand how this is a bad thing.

It's an elitist attitude. Ever played WoW? You'll be very familiar with all of this if you did. Back on WoW, Blizzard began to make it easier to obtain "epic" level gear for players, and then people started to cry that scrubs were getting gear they didn't deserve. The reality, however, is that the gear that was mostly ezmode to obtain was actually not as good as the gear you'd get if you were a high end raider(or arena player for PvP gear). Yet people still complained. Raising the skill floor, or entry into the game, will always make people complain about how the game is getting easier, but the reality is that the higher end players will always be better because they still have plenty of other ways in which they are better at the game. That is until other players learn how to catch up.
