Let's play a logic game...

You and your friend are 100% equally skilled in every possible way at an imaginary game. You and your friend play this game against each other 1000 times. What would you expect your win rate to be?

I don't know the method of the game. If there are other hidden variables.

If it's a game solely reliant on skill, with no possible advantage given to whoever moves first, then the winrate would be either approximately 50% or 0%, depending on whether or not ties are possible (ties would mean neither win, generating a 0% winrate for both sides)

However, as soon as other variables are introduced, then it's changed a lot. Let's take any game with specific counter strategies to things. If one of you is most skilled at executing a strategy that directly counters the other's best strategy, that one will win far more often (from 51% to 100%, depending on how strong counter strategies are). And as soon as you add in the variation of a team, then it all goes to hell, and winrate would theoretically be 50%, there's no certainty of that.

this math is too complex for me... sorry I put my faith with Korean RNGesus which is why I only play Zoe!

If you are of equal skill, then the first match should never end.

But I'm a nice guy, so mine would probably be 25%, assuming we manged to play 1000 matches.

if we're equally skilled in any way it means we have the same power and it means that no one will win against an other in any games
