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.

Honestly for competitive games if you’re not playing to win, just don’t play. What’s even the point?

What counts as a "competitive game" - is it anything where there are winners and losers or something more specific?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

i think a competitive game would be like CSGO where it's often pretty intense and there's a lot of mechanics to learn and often times your pretty frustrated when you lose as opposed to like call of duty where it doesn't really matter if you win or lose (or didnt in older titles)
