Wow. The OP took the words outta my mouth. This community sucks somtimes (slthough I have played with some people with a lot of class too).
I go into a game now and they take me as a noob (since I just started playing again) and so the "elite" players group all the low game number folks together. I just wanna have fun so I play the game, but of course I lose. My stats get worse and thus even harder to get a game. I am not great by any means, but I am not bad either. I wish the stats would just go away, or at least have unranked games too. I just wanna play and have fun. If I win great, if I loose no big deal. But these stat whores make the game and the community less fun to be around. Does the community not see that if you scare off folks then the game dies? We need new blood, but it does not seem as though folks get this.
