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.

There's different levels of playing to win though. I play a lot of R6 Siege. In the evenings I mostly play casual with my friends. I'm either using the random button to pick my operator for variety, or I'm playing all shotguns for a battle pass challenge or I'm trying to find ridiculous places to put a frost mat.

Within that structure I'm trying to win the rounds, but it doesn't matter if we lose. I'm just having fun in a game with my friends.
