The fact is, people want to be rewarded for getting better at something. Being the best normals player only gives you win loss ratio. But ranked gives you a real countable number. I'm sorry to say this but your ignoring the ego factor is wrong, people want to look good so they try for it. Stupid yes, but then again by typing this out I'm doing the same thing with my intelligence. There is not a lot you can do about human nature. Now that I've lost my train of thought I'm going to close this one out.
