You are either Pro or Not. Stop Penis measuring

This is one of the few games that have a rank system. That is mostly for psychological purposes created by the company. I understand the desire to better your game and test your skills but what with all the elitism? You are either pro or not. They practice with a regiment. Everyone else is just invested in a pass time. Do you really want to put in the type of hours they do to get where they are? Please tell me you don't already.

At best you are either novice, intermediate, advanced or pro. But Like many a martial arts school, they ad belt tests for more incremental steps. In martial arts this adds up into more money. In LOL this keeps the player base active. Please realize the mental game you are engaging in and stop shaming people by rank. Its like one amateur kicking the shit out out of another amateur. Meanwhile the pros say, "Aw, isn't that cute. Two noobs fighting over 100th place."
