Stats are meant to play a solid role in character progression.
Stats supplement skill and enhance performance. They play a solid role, they just aren't crucial to success. However, with good enough gear you can make up for what you lack in skill, and achieve better results if somebody likes that sort of thing. Speedruns can be interesting especially if the game encourages you to do them.
