The idea is just to hide your actual account name during a match. What is suggested is not to hide the name entirely, only during a match so your opponent won't know who you are. Therefore you can use your actual account in the ladder. That way we won't see barcodes on the rankings list. The only thing this option will help is cleaning up the rankings list. Yes, that is how I understood it as well, and I am equally confused by what most of the other posters are talking about. And I think it is a neat little idea that could turn the top GM from "|||||||||||||||||, ||||||||||||||||||, ||||||||||||||||||||||, smurfLULZ, ||||||||||||||||||, otherSmurf" into "EG.jaedong, Liquid'Snute, SLK_Cascade, ...".* The top names will there with the highest ranking, but no one will recognise the accounts in game, and there is no history to be analysed. *Some IDs may be more realistic than others. | ||

Haha yeah i agree. It is really funny how people don't understand the op, is reading really that difficult? Just once again for people who (for what reason ever...) don't understand the intentions of the op. 1. The reason people use barcodes is that they don't want to be recognized IN GAME cause that gives their builds away. 2. Therefore we have a ladder full of Barcodes, which just looks odd and nobody knows who is who (even though ladder isn't THAT important, it would be neat to see who is on top at the moment) => the op says why not give players an option to keep their id outside of games but change it inside of it violà, you have an environment where nobody can easily collect data about certain players on the ladder AND we have a real ranking. | ||

I like it from a viewer side because sometimes I tune in on a tournament stream only to see lll1l1l1l1l vs 11ll1l1l1l1. It would be nice to know right away who is who. Edit: And it lets me see who is really topping the GM! It is important to me 2nd Edit: I wonder how many people will make the same assumption again? | ||

Literally every single one of the lower leagues who use it are cancerous tumors who need to be purged from SC2. Not a single one doesnt BM and shit post everywhere they go. based on this post i'm guessing that makes you a lower league barcode? | ||

You don't see it as a problem that the best indication of who the best players in the world are in a low variance environment, namely the Korean ladder, is completely useless to gauge anything from as 80%+ of players are barcodes? | ||

And to all those that say a second account isn't expensive; go talk to the struggling up and comers that really want to go full pro but can barely get by with other stuff in life. Even these guys need to hide their strats on ladder. | ||

That only works if names are unique. People forget WOL Beta when everyone changed their names to ESPORTS in protest because they were mad that user names were not unique, to prove a point at how "silly" it is to let everyone have the same name if they wanted to. Funny how that turned out. | ||

There isn't even really a difference between 'lllllllll' and 'player.' Except with this system we'd actually be able to see who was ranked on ladder instead of just endless barcodes. No one is proposing that players that use barcodes be punished, just that barcodes are bad for the purposes of GM ranking and were this system in place, much of the reason for actually using them disappears as players would be able to hide their identity and match history without them while laddering. | ||
