Instead of "casual" or "ranked" they should just have "play to win" or "play for fun." (yiffit.net)

Because it doesn't seem to matter currently if you play ranked games or casual games, the general experience tends to be the same. But one has numbers and things to go with it. You still get people playing to win in casual games and you get people dicking around having fun in ranked games, and the ranks don't necessarily indicate how they play as a team and a whole bunch of other things that make it less than ideal.

Yes because I'm not a crybaby.

That statement comes off a bit disingenuous when you qualify like that.

One might get the idea that you're inserting the same toxic behavior we see in competitive games so often into this conversation.

A simple "Yes" would have sufficed and I wouldn't have thought twice about your sincerely on the subject.
