I think a lot of the confusion about "region difficulty" has more to do with our limited experiences outside of our home region rather than actual facts. Look at the fact that people around the world are generally equally intelligent regardless of their continent.
However, if there are more people who play on a region and there are less servers, that provides advantages to donors, (who are usually better players) and also to experienced people in general (who know the tricks to getting into servers) and people with better connections. (who can get in right after the restart) Thus, regions with a lot of people and few servers should be harder to win on. Let's see some statistics now...
US: 315 million people, 150 servers (it is worth noting that people in South America and Latin America play on US as well.)
EU: 510 million people, 125 servers
AU: 23 million people, 25 servers
CA: 35 million people, 25 servers
AS: 4 billion people, 12 servers
Mere population doesn't account for a lot of this, but it gives us an idea. Asia has mostly less-developed countries though, so fewer people use computers for gaming. All 12 AS servers never fill up. Australia on the other hand, is the second most developed country in the world, and the US is the third. Thus, they have very common computer access. (Norway is first, if you are wondering)
For those who have tried other servers and found and abundance of noobs in the other region, you may have been playing at a slow time, in which the good players aren't as out and about. We all know it is easier to win in the US at 4:00 A.M. EST than 4:00 P.M. EST. In the night, everyone plays more poorly and it is mostly noobs running about on the servers.
Before we make assumptions about skill of other servers, we may want to play more and get more experience with different times of day.
I have an alt and I have personally played maybe 2500 games on US and 500 games on EU. I have found that EU players are just as good and respectable players as the US players, though the servers aren't typically as full. There is no correlation of skill between regions because we are all intelligent human beings. That is my thesis.

SixZoSeven You've had a little misunderstanding when you said I stated that AU players are bad, I don't mean in skill level I mean they are decent but they team and annoy players

I just want to say Au has changed a lot since you probably last played on it, and your thoughts of thinking Au is "easier" than US is kinda incorrect.

No I'm not here to say US is harder than Au blah blah blah, but I will say this. You live in America, maybe you won't get the best connection to Au unless you have beast internet. Now the times that you would play MCSG (just an estimate maybe 7:00 pm?) most of the pro Au players have gone too sleep making running into any form of good player difficult. Plus whilst you are playing at that time, there are more, lets say noobish players on making it easier to win, but say you were playing when there were actually good Australian PvPer's on. Now you actually have a challenge and have to fight for your victory. And the added fact is that there are a lot of teams ( I'd say about 2-3 teams on average per game) making it even more challenging. However, you don't get to feel this effect when you are playing when everyone else is asleep.

Now same goes to me and other Au players. When we are on a losing streak, I know a couple of people considered pro on Au that do this, start to play on US. Now maybe again the connection isn't there but we are vsing players that have hardly any experience as there aren't many good US players playing at 3 am at night. Unless if someone wants to confess?

So in either fact a good representative of the different regions at the moment would be Quackeryy as he has played on AS where he says he used to fight teams of nine each game (and to get a ratio like that when vsing big teams like that is defiantely quite a feat). He then flew over to Eu for a holiday and it was incredibly easy for him to get wins and killed many EU "pro's" on large amounts of hearts. Now when he plays Au, its harder since the fact there are a lot of teams that you have to fight and these teams should not be considered noobish in any way because usually they have like 100-200 wins each, making them hard to fight experienced large teams.

But yeah thats my input for the night. No flame intended just my opinion.
