[quote]The second idea is to leave everything as is, but to add some sort of glow or effect that indicates a rank image that is derived from the MM ladder. People would be able to opt in to display their MM ladder rank instead of their casual rank to receive the glow.[/quote]

This seems like a much more reasonable approach. One concern that was raised is that people might choose to display their lower rank in order to mislead people about their actual strength. This seems like it is fairly easily solved by forcing the ingame icon to display the rank which is relevant to the game in question.

I think that at the high end of the MM ladder, distinguishing between the most skilled players by displaying their actual position on the ladder is a better idea than fussing too much over colours.

The lowest effort solution to giving MM rating more relevance to players' colours is to adjust the thresholds so that you need to be (for example) in the top 5% of casual or the top 10% of matchmaker to be dark blue or some such.
