I have lost much skill in BnG, like literally all skill in roper (can't drop/shoot for shit) and so on...True, but it's damn hard to be as passionated as before since you know you're playing worst than your capabilities. :p
The good thing though is, when I focused on the schemes I could gain the knowledge back in a pretty fast way. Like that little notching guide, if I were active I could have made that in like 30 minutes and it would been perfect with no missed shots, and more detailed. But I had to relearn the things I used to do there so it took me like 2 hours with little practicing and still missed some shots. It's not really an issue that you "lose" it. It's more like you simply need to focus and force yourself to remember all the little things you did unconsciously while playing years ago.
Another example, people that really know me from the early years know that I started to twitch with 1 finger and then went to fingerroll. Like out of curiosity I tried to do twitch roping again, I knew how it works and could even do some good things but my hand would get upset and it would take some weeks to get the hang of it. Same with 2hand taps, having the coordination still to do really fast 2hand taps but the movement between arrow keys and space to do shadows/scrolls etc. is really off so I would need to practice that a bit.
So, yeah, Cue is right there. You can perfectly regain your skill if you have the same passion, it's just a matter of if you want to do it again.
