Re: ^
I'm assuming by stats being removed you mean rank, here.
Yes.
Maybe some people could choose to not be included on the leaderboard? Then people who don't want to be called a big skrub can be a big skrub and nobody would really care.
I would love this but I think it would have to be on GamingMasters' end.
To be honest, rank is the reason I didn't get bored a long time ago. Gives me something to achieve.
Achieve what? Play more = rank up.
The way it works now, any one can be rank 1 if they play enough. I don't care about the number next to my name, and of the 18 people with more score than me there's maybe 2 or 3 that are demonstrably better than me.
As it is now I'm GOING to gain points every time I play. I worry more about every time I screw up and lose a round or die the leaderboard records that too. I know "It's just a game" and that I shouldn't worry about it but I dunno how else to think.
