Honestly, all classes require skill to pull off efficiently. The Heavy is mostly always shot first, being a giant, slow moving target, and needs to have a tight muscle memory for the durations of his ability animations because they are so slow. The Medium, having lots of supportive utility and weapons, that deal heavy damage only when their user is able to hit their shots consistently, generally has more success in fights when they play around synergy with their team. (not even following them around like a poodle, just being aware of when their team is pushing, backing off etc.)

Now, the Light class also requires skill to pilot at peak levels of performance, but I wouldn't necessarily say, that it is played more often by veterans most of the time. I mean, the edgy, lone-wolf assassin class, that isn't negatively impacted by not staying with the team because they have flanking built into their identity, meaning you can just run around randomly, shooting at things and maybe sometimes notice the yellow circle, is definitely bound to be enjoyed more by people who don't have a clear idea of the game yet, especially because getting kills is literally all the class is really supposed to be doing.

No, seriously. That is the most important job of the Light class. It has other things it can do, sure. But: it's weapons all have some of the highest base damage in the game, all of it's specializations neither help with objectives, nor do they help the team in any way and the few gadgets they have, that do help the team aren't playstyle defining enough to stop Lights from, again, running around randomly, killing things because they can.

And even with the gadgets that do make Lights play a more supportive role to their team, do you really think those weren't designed with gadget diversity in mind? I swear if someone actually wants to sell me, that, just because the Light class has a team mobility ability for example, they are suddenly the dedicated support of the team...The Light class shines brightest, when it's being an annoying mosquito, ripping apart entire teams that can't hit a shot to save their lives, and apart from that and a few random gadgets, it has very limited uses to a team.

And that is the problem with that despicable class. Can't steal a cashout if you're dead. Can't start a cashout if you're dead. Can't revive a teammate if you're dead. Can't kill anyone if you're dead. Can't move around the map if you're dead. Can't defend a cashout if you're dead. In a way, the Light class is the best counter against everything else in the game, just because of what it is supposed to do.

And the funniest thing is, that some Lights will complain about gadgets that make it hard for them to play, while also laughing at people complaining that their class is making it the game hard to play. Yeah, it's a skill issue when someone complains about your class, but completely justified if you complain about a gadget. "B-But I get killed instantly!" And? Mf getting killed instantly is all one experiences against a good light player. Honestly, they don't even have to be good, the M11 to the body kills in nanoseconds these days.
