Guild Wars 2

Not having a rating show makes the system feel superficial, in PvP games you should always be able to know the elo of your opponent and your current elo to gauge your progression. This was the one good thing WoW arena did right, I really hope you choose to show ratings in the future.

You could see the GvG ratings before the match in GW1 too.

Brotip: don’t use the word “wow” here. From that point your suggestion is ignored and that’s okay.

I asked a while ago in a thread if the devs could explain the pros and cons of hidden vs visible MMR, got zero response. I still can’t think of a single pro for a hidden MMR.

Because hidden rating is more fun to players

OH WAIT, it’s not

My point exactly. The guessing game gets old.

If anyone can think of a single advantage to hidden MMR, I’m all ears.

Perhaps you’d see this:
