Make ELO pubic

quote: Lastly is this a community game? or what? should this not be decided by the people who play the game? are we playing a fascist run game?

Maybe then the game should be written by that same "community"? "Community" should fix bugs, and such. Then the "community" can actually decide things.

quote: are we playing a fascist run game?

Good way to start a thread: at least, imaginative.

Down with the dictator! We want dev elections! Every 6 years!

quote: They may try better if they knew they had something to lose.

But it's not bad or good to lose elo, noobs want XP for unlocks. I suggest that unlocks are based on elo instead of on xp, low elo nabs like @princerapier shouldn't be allowed to use trollcoms etc. And if high elo players mess around with trollcoms too much (and thus lose a lot), their elo will lower and they can no longer use trollcoms.
Btw:

I'm pretty sure Forever have an idea what elo is.
(P.S.: this is a honk)

Your thread title is not exactly what you ask in the message. Each player could see his own ELO, without being publicly available.

down with the government.

ftfy

quote: 1v1 elo should definitely be visible because that is its only point.

What do you mean by "that is its only point"?

Elo to the player would be excellent. I have mixed feelings on elo being totally public and 'in your face' every game. Even though elo is public, if you know where to look.

Accumulation of points brings pain when points are lost. Creates rage.

When elo was public, veterans would chastise noobs for having a low elo score. Creates rage.

I see a lot less rage now vs a year ago. Even though it is implied that losses cause loss of elo by those who know.

I haven't seen a single low elo noob say: "I just play for fun, elo means nothing to me." Because they are terrible and further demoralized by having a low score, I feel noobs used to throw games purposely.

Elo is ZK IQ - nobody likes to be told they have a low IQ.

hush .....

Also now veterans can chastise noobs for such things as 'spams fusions connected to eachother' and 'makes windgens connected to eachother' and such. Showing elo will not magically make people more or less recognisable as having no idea what they are doing.

Case in point: I have pretty decent elo but I still cannot use napalm bombers

That's not your fault. Phoenixes suck.

Ask yourselves here. Did removing elo stop people from raging at noobs?

Yes? No?

people lose people will rage. there is no way to fix that. Sorry unless you turn people into robots without emotion or seperate the nubs from the elite, there will be casulities of war.
