That being said if you really care about leader boards you might as well find somewhere on the internet to compare the size of your genitals to people around the world; meanwhile the real men will play in tournaments to determine whose is bigger who is best.
Ummm, no?
Leaderboards are extremely valuable content. If you can't see that there's a bigger problem here.
Leaderboards are good for perspective. Yes, what a horrible thing I want, to compare myself to the top players.
Leaderboards and Stats are valuable tools. They let people see how much they are improving, they let them see how good their opponents are so they don't get unrealistic expectations from strategies and improvements, they're
very important for players new to the game who want to PvP.
Leaderboards aren't about a dick measuring contest. Though of course that comes into it from a competitive aspect.
They're about improvement. Pride. Learning. Encouragement. Overall satisfaction. Leaderboards have a huge impact on how people perceive the game, not only from the PvP perspective but from "Is this game good?" perspective. This is the first RTS game I've ever played that's launched without global leaderboards. Especially such a high profile one. Except maybe WarCraft 3, I can't quite remember if that has them.
And this is after Relic had extra time to "polish" the game.
Anyways, I'm not going to go off on it now. All I can say, Leaderboards are far more important than just trying to see who has the biggest dick. They go hand in hand with other statistics too, which are important for improvement.
