Of course. You are distracted from the game at hand, distracted from the round you're playing on whatever map with whatever team and focus on stats. If you even pay the slighest attention to the rank system, your playing style is affected negatively.

You frame your original post in a way to make it seem like anyone who tries to go for a high rank is playing negatively. I could become a stat whore if I wanted to and still help out the team. Just because I care about my stats doesn't mean I am not an asset to my team.

Of course, but hlstatsx has no good reason to be here and causes problems for no real reason. It doesn't make things fun for the majority of players because their ranks are so low. Besides that, the ranks of low ranked players aren't even accurate. At all.

How does hlstatsx has no good reason to be here? It gives people information about their stats, whether or not it's useful or accurate. If the majority of players aren't having fun because of a ranking system, then I don't know what to say.
