Stats are capable of making individuals become smarter and skilled. If the player has the determination to do well so they can achieve that rank, then they will do it. Stats are only a fraction of factors that can affect game play.

Stats don't motivate players more than scoreboards motivate players, IMO. People who really want to be the best want to be the best then and there, not 'overal' best player or something in some sort of (flawed) rank system.

People complain when my clan mates and I go on the same team together. They call us team stackers since they think we make the skill level of the teams "unbalanced." How do you think this affects the game for both sides? Is it fair to call us team stackers when we work so well together? This is a factor that can affect the game in whoevers favor.

Yeah I can understand why you want to join your teammates. Honestly, when I see a lot of big name players on the enemy team, I still think the no name teamplayers team (that I happen to be on) can still defeat the big name players because if you work together properly you can take anything down... it's all about teamwork, not necessarily skills in killing people. The only reason why I'd join a team with people who are familiar to me is that I know that with those people I can work together properly and that they also communicate to the rest of the team which is really important.
