An optional sign on screen. When the game starts it gives you the option to play as a nickname or sign in to your forums account. That why you can keep track an your stats and not rely on those ladder servers. Your stats will be shown in your profile or something.Also a way to show names that are registered and nicknames differently. (like you can add colors to your sign in name but not to the nick name,or nick names would be a different color from signed in names. ex. nick names would be white while sign in names would be yellow.)

I used to love te idea of an overall stats record but now that i think about it the more i appreciate the ladders. They bring all the pros to few servers and keep them out of the noob servers. I dont mean to sound like a jerk but this is how it should be. Noobs play untill they are good enough to play ladders then there is always good competition for everyone :)

Funny that you say that, ladder games now are so low-skilled that it's quite rare to find skilled players in pubs.

Youre saying bob, tyd, sj, mys ladders arent as competitive as the other servers? They always have more skill compared. You are still right though pubs arent near as skilled as inters but thats expected of any game.
