Is it possible that for some people no matter how many years of weekly practice they have for certain games they just won't get better after a certain point? Are there some things about the way you play that are unchangeable?

Referring to what? Playing competitively? From what I understand, "pro gamers" have typically been playing competitively for years and dedicate many, many hours to serious play.

I suppose it's limited by things like your response time, learning speed, ability to strategize, etc. Those things can be improved, too, though.

Yes, it's possible.

That's closer to what I'm talking about. I don't think reaction time is very malleable but I want to hear from others. Is there anything that influences how good people are at video games which they have little or no control over? I know there are things that change/improve with practice but is there anything that doesn't change with practice?

sometimes taking a break helps. It helped for me. Being 'relaxed' about you skill actually improves you.
