Some people seem to have mistaken this as a subtle attempt to force people into 1v1 MM.

I have not seen a single person mention having a problem with their rank being visible, it seems to be a misunderstanding of why people enjoy noelo games. When it's late in the night, there's not many players on for normal team games and I don't feel like playing my best anyway so I just want to watch things blow up. I went and spectated a game usually. Now there's a choice to actually be in a game without any stakes at such a point, so I did that a few times and tried stupid things in 1v1 and even played a FFA because I knew it wouldn't unfairly skew my rating based on games practically unrelated to what I usually play.

In my personal opinion, I don't consider FFA with 1 player per "team" relevant to team games balance, neither do I consider 1v1 to be relevant to team game balance. Both of these should be considered noelo games automatically for purpose of casual ladder as they are a different gamemode than team games and there is no actual balancing taking place as everyone is their own team.

[q]This should be mitigated by the rank shape in most cases, since you will be able to tell a new player by their chevrons[/q]

Chevrons are frankly meaningless since you have people that have played for years and hundreds of games but are still terrible at the game with high chevrons. Rank color at least implies win/loss ratio which is the single most important measure of determining skill in terms of ability to win a gamemode. Even though it's a bit contaminated with games not relevant to said gamemode as I mentioned above, it's still infinitely more accurate than what is essentially time played (chevrons).
