I guarantee I can play at top level. In fact I know I can because I've played people who go to competitions and do pretty well and beaten them. I just don't like people that take games too seriously, it is just a game. Oh, and many people see the tiers and go, oh I should play as him to crush my friends! It's all about fun, that's what games were designed for.
