Rename casual to "open match", "quick match" or something similar#1853

I often see new players getting confused because they think casual matches are easier/less competitive, but actually the opposite is true. Because there’s no MMR-based matchmaking in casual, it’s possible for a new player to get matched with a player of any rank, so then they get destroyed and are more likely to quit. So I think the name should more accurately reflect that. “Open match” implies that it’s open to players of all skill level, “quick match” says that you want to find an opponent quickly, regardless of skill level.

Devs, please consider changing this. Or some kind of in-game explanation that a player playing ranked will more likely get them a comparable opponent. I guess alternatively you could have a hidden MMR-based matchmaking on your casual, but I think that’s a more inelegant solution.
