The alternative is to pit people against each other in some competitive games, 1 on 1 or in teams. I don’t think the feeling you get from such games is consistent with “being competent doesn’t feel like being competent, it feels like the thing just being really easy”, probably mainly because there is skill level matching, there are always opponents who pose you a real challenge.
Hmm maybe such games need some more long tail probabilistic matching, to sometimes feel the difference. Or maybe variable team sizes, with many incompetent people versus few competent, to get a more “doomguy” feeling.
