If this effort to improve applies to every low elo player than the elo floor has already justified itself!

25 commands a minute is extremely undemanding for the RTS genre.

25 commands a minute allows a fair degree of thinking, and places the emphasis on making the right decisions rather than skill or muscle memory (after a certain amount required to master the interface).

Knowing how to win primarily involves making the right units and using them correctly.

I reached 1700 elo and remained stable at this point 12 months ago doing nothing but going spiders and spamming cudgels 95% of games. I used these aggressively, but that was all I did, as players from that period can attest. I did not understand the game balance or units very well.

Having established that the level of understanding needed for 1600+ is low and that the skill required to progress up to higher levels is also very low, in most cases the only true barrier to ability is understanding. A player with sub 1600 elo does not understand enough about how the game works to be commenting on intimate game balance at the same level as a player who does understand.
