      @tomma thanks both for explaining why you said that and for mentioning the mod already exists. Maybe @misterdumass can give it a try

        Misterdumass won't give it a try for he doesn't play TMM contrary to popular opinion.

          I asked for similar thing but for 1v1 as the way to reduce pressure on players and obsession over rank but to not much positive outcome as I was hoping.

          Secure the kill and send it off.

            Have you ever seen a single game that has ranked mm and gives you the possibilty to hide your credentials?

            queuing with a newbie to show him the beauty of tmm and meeting tagada be like:

              Depends on how much blind do you want me to be...
              https://starcraft2.com/en-gb/ladder/grandmaster/3

              But yea... I think I did see a game or two or every mainstream game that provides a way or two to ease up the pressure one way or the other...

              Now wheatear or not do you want to acknowledge it is up to you, but lest not kid our self's...

              Secure the kill and send it off.

                The UI mod Tomma mentioned does the job, Deaf Archon UI mod (credit goes to Eternal), hides rating and name of your opponents, both from the scoreboard and the chat. So give it a try if you're interested, @HintHunter

                  Cool, still does not quite fixes the problem it just puts me more on disadvantage since player I playing Vs knows me and I don't know anything about him. Cool mod, implement it for all now.

                  Secure the kill and send it off.

                        @hinthunter what am i supposed to see in that link?
                        All i could have found is people changing their names manually to bar codes

                          Well... Yes. Do you not get it or I am supposed to explain that as well?

                          Could go about it this way... By asking a question... Why people do change their names to barcodes in every division that StarCraft 2 has?

                          Secure the kill and send it off.

                              Yeah you get banned for changing those manually, as long as it's not an "official" way of hiding your stuff it's not even remotely an argument, which bring back my original question.

                                So you don't want to acknowledge it, that is fine.
                                Tilt it changes your original question will have same awnser from me.

                                  Eh, you sure they are hiding their names? Actions such as this have been quite popular not only on faf but in other games to literally just screw with other people. Not to hide their names cuz they are afraid of being seen or anything... It's just community trolling.

                                    @hinthunter ??? I've literally just pointed out there is no such option as hiding your credentials.

                                    The closest example would be heartstone with streamer mode on that does that stuff but it doesn't apply to faf example

                                      From the looks of it... yes they are hiding their names.
                                      Some casual advanced trolling done by competing players lol what a joke.

                                      and this is just one game that happens to be most popular and most influential RTS

                                      Providing option to hide names (and hopefully rating) would open many interesting possibilities with: meta, team games, 1v1, balance, venting, stress...

                                      Open to talk about it in a discord...

                                      Well life finds a way, like they did no? No such option? Why not implement it? Clearly it is somewhat wanted, clearly it gets some stuff done, clearly people do it for some purpose or goal...
                                      We can help the players by doing this both to improve and to allow them to play care free.
                                      I am not going to square one with this convo, so... acknowledge it.

                                        No,it doesn't, because you will end up starting to change a lot more things such as modifying the report system and altering the database that is already being overloaded with data, also need someone to code and maintain that just to satisfy a very low percentage of population when there re like 2736193 other problems that require those resources

                                          Jip told me that report would work just fine with this implemented (PlayerID is still seen by moderators), implementation it self would not be difficult so i been told by old dev named Alex (i think that was his name)
                                          If nobody wants to do it that is fine, this talk is not about that, but we cant deny that it does bring some kind of results based on what kind of implementation is in place.

                                          @Jip Can you confirm first bit if is no trouble.

                                            The best part of this is that you link a bunch of threads that conclude it's a bunch of dudes doing stuff for fun or doing stuff because they saw higher skill players do it and mock endranni for saying it was a bunch of ppl having fun.

                                            If somebody knows all you do is sit and base and idle for 20 minutes, then you get punished for being a one note player. Diversify your gameplay or get hardstuck at the rating where people develop the capacity to play around your one gameplan. Pointless to put into place a system to reward dudes doing the same thing every game.
