[q]Do people actually care about their casual rating, or do the high rated players (who have above-average dedication to playing ZK well) just 'happen' to care about playing interesting, high-quality games where their teammates are making an effort to win?

I for one don't care about my casual rating all that much, but if I join a team game of any kind I will enjoy myself a lot more if my teammates act like a team. [/q]

Well this is an interesting one because back in the day I didn't care about casual at all, I went there to chill out and didn't care about winning:

But now with the way rating works, casual literally is ranked. Your rank (insignia colour) is determined by your casual rank, not your matchmaking rank. Currently every single purple (top 1%) save @izirayd and @DasFapitale are only blue (top 5%) in matchmaking, receiving purple through casual instead.

Seeing this, and wanting to work toward purple, I became try-hard in casual. There's no realistic progression for me in MM (I don't have the potential to be top 2), but there is in casual, where I think top 20 or so is achievable. You can see the difference in orientation pretty clearly on the graph.

Edit: for some reason my image isn't loading from imgur. If you check on-site my statistics you can very clearly see the shift this time around.
