To me, Stats are a tool. I use my stats to judge my own game, see my strengths and weaknesses, and monitor my own performance. I don't really care what others think about them.
It always cracks me up, however, when I win a game and a sore loser starts squawking about "Check the Leaderboards" or "Check my Stats". My response is always "Check the Scoreboard".
I don't have the best or worst stats, but I am only as good as my last game, and that is how I judge my play.
