Oh, comeon now!
We're making simple things too complicated here.
Since my early days on Internet, i learned one very simple and important fact: i can maybe 'own' a game and consider myself an 'ace', but, once i compare my results with the results other people in the world have at playing the same game, the truth is obvious: in my backyard i am maybe the king, but globally, worldwide, i might be just a pimple on a butt of an elephant.
Simply, there are talented people that can rip apart a given game much better than anyone else. No way in hell to best people like this, especially if they have tons of gaming time on their hands. Works for any game, especially multiplayer online games.
Maybe one in a million, but the millions are many, so, there you are. There are guys/girls who can cut apart a human eye, then sew it together and it will work better than before. It's just talent. And alot of free time.
Never EVER underestimate people with tons of free time on their hands
Instead of scorning people like that, i will rather sit and absorb any hint they might give me, thus making my gaming skills improve. Our OP probably acted somewhat abruptly, but i am sure noone hates the guys that managed to 'rape' KB:L.

They are the exceptions, NOT the mediocre players who make 99% of the target gaming population, WE are!
Peace, and have fun!

Sorry for my English, it's not my mother's tongue, it's rather my third one
