Competitive Play Mentality: I'll try to adjust my playstyle to win.
Casual Play Mentality: I'll try to adjust the game's rules to win.
I think Sirlin wrote a whole article on that before. Actually multiple articles.

We'll play randoms and get some crazy **** going on
Well yeah, I can see that. I don't think most people do that for very long, though. That sort of thing gets old pretty fast to most people.
We'll play teams we like, and attempt to adapt but accept losing rather than playing something we don't like as much.
That's not necessarily a casual mentality. Tier-whoring isn't necessary to have a competitive mentality. If you're happy with your character and you keep trying to improve with that character, that's still a competitive mentality.
