Your post is about you being able to see your own MMR, and your improvement. The poll, and the drama, was about being able to see the MMR from other players. If Dotabuff simply announced private or opt in MMR the drama would be minimal. | ||

But eventually, some people will make the 3rd party program based on this "hide" ratings (because you still want to know your rating relative to "them"), so what is the point in slowing down the time? | ||

How exactly would they make another program? Unless you mean another website will develop another database to compete with DotaBuff and they may create another rating and make that one avaible to everyone. Yeah, that is bound to happen sometime. Maybe after HL3. The issue is that you made a huge rant pretending that the people that didn't want public ratings were against people wanting to know their own ratings and measure their improvement. If your actual argument against them was that "it was bound to happen anyway", perhaps that should have been the subject of the blog. You made up your "opponents" argument so that you could easily beat them, instead of using the actual complaints that are definatelly not as simple to refute. If the drama is against a public rating instead of a private one, try to argue why it should be public, not why it should exist at all. | ||

P.S.S is incorrect. Other comment: The "best" player on your team going mid isn't always good. I'm a disaster mid, but I can guarantee you MM will at some point (1 in 5 games) make me the "best" player on my team. Either way, no need to make a pointless blog about a topic that is already being heavily discussed in the Dota 2 subforum... | ||

If the drama is against a public rating instead of a private one, try to argue why it should be public, not why it should exist at all. Because there is no point in existence of the private one, there is no difference between private and no at all. Public numbers will turn the game into an actual game, and not a complete mess as nowadays in solo queue, when 5 people don't want even to expect from each others and just blame while doing shit. Other comment: The "best" player on your team going mid isn't always good. Yes, you are right, but in this case, "the better player" simply asks something like "hi guys, who want mid", or whatever, but there is already a point to start communicate with your teammates. Nowadays you just pick and go with "fuck you all" in your head. | ||

Why post P.S. as the first note? It doesn't even make sense... lol | ||

Yeah, they have killed dotabuff and destroyed any possibility to gain actual game statistic about winrates / heroes / items etc. I loved their site, but R.I.P. The only hope, is that Valve plans to release their own statistics, but I don't think so, because how bad that move is. | ||

Personally, I wouldn't really mind if they made the ratings public. Anyone who plays Dota should be able to just ignore flaming by now. A good compromise could have been to make it so you can just see your own rating.
