Well that’s lame. What’s the point of gating features like that.

M3 and M1 are radically different let alone players who have GM MMR but haven’t gotten in yet.

For master/gm, its really nice to see your opponents mmr, since it tells you, if hes better as you/as strong as you/a waste of time to play against.

For lower league players, i could end in ladder anxiety, because many players get in panic, if they see, that they have to play against someone with higher mmr.

Also a dumb reason. Should just be an option to turn off if it scares people.

It is also that Masters and GM league have a much wider range of skill compared to the lower leagues.

A plat player will always be awful - you do not need the exact MMR to figure that out.

But the difference between M3 and M1 is huge, M3 are pretty bad but M1 have a decent grasp of the basics of the game, even if they fold under pressure.

yep, you could argue over that system.

anyway, im glad, that they took the second step now in that direction. the first one was to actually show the mmr of everyone on the profile. so im really liking the change.

Gone are the times when there was ‘Favored’ ‘Slightly Favored’ I liked that too,

Now they no longer show border of highest league in current season but the one they are for the current race mmr. This is good because I cannot see ingame if he is offracing or he is this league as main. So border was acting as a MMR revealer but yes they should just make it optional all along.

The range of diamond is far greater than masters and GM combined.

It isn’t pointless you know, if you are playing smurf, or someone good. Like sc2unmasked: unmask your opponent, people get advantage when they are on barcode and you don’t know who their are, that’s why this was introduced for masters-gm… In tournament, you would know who you are playing as well, so it is pointless barcode. Pros used to barcode, so their hide their builds, they practicing.

ya, some days i play like a m3/d1, and some days i play like a m1 … the skill gap is quite noiticeable and it’s even within my own play because i’m not very consistent … :frowning:

that simply can’t be true since master starts at what? 4500? and ends at 6.9? 7k? whoever is at the top, the MMR range in diamond isn’t as wide :wink:

MMR range, masters wins. Actual skill range? If you clip the top 10 players from each region diamond is probably still bigger.

Its still an issue in lower leagues. Some players don’t show their border color. The other day I played someone who was playing their main or off-racing with a generic portrait with no border. Their league history on the score screen revealed them to be a couple leagues higher than me. Their gameplay was too sharp for me to handle.
“Yes yes the ladder is working as intended and there is nothing wrong or to complain about”, says someone responding to my comment. Yet this still happens.
Did I randomly execute with such procession for one brief game that it actually looked like M1 and my next game should be matched up against someone way better than me? In the same day i was pitted against someone that was bronze 1. He was really bad.

I totally get why mmr is shown in masters and gm. I really really do. I get why it may not be shown in lower leagues. I get the point, but can we just have it anyway?
At least then I can pretend I’m getting matched with someone I should be matched with and decide if I want to GG early.
