User blog comment:Steelside/Do You Believe in Skill Caps?/@comment-58.172.168.153-20120614123340

Yes, the skill cap exists. Mechanically. There is a point where you cannot right-click any faster, or press R any more quickly, or react to your opponent moving forward in lane any more effectively.

But there is never, and will never be an understanding skill cap. You will never play a game of League of Legends and not make a mistake. Maybe you didnt Flash fast enough, or couldn't get in range to drop Ignite on that fleeing carry, or weren't aware of an incoming jungle gank. Maybe you lost dragon because of ward coverage. Maybe you did not manoeuvre properly in lane. While basic skills such as casting effectively are important, the reactionary elements of the game, the ones that change from game to game, will never be capped. That's why we play :) every game is unique.
