The poll specified "MID LEVEL" in all caps. So, it is important that the level of play is the middle of the pack, the median. The median is gold/platinum (I am verging on diamond, so that's actually way above median, about 20 percentage points too high). That is a level where monobattlers in 1v1 can have a win rate over 50% because the monobattler is more familiar with their build than their opponent. I believe that the advantage of anonymity in repeated games won't be significant. The skill of players is too varying between games and situations for the anonymity to matter. My top diamond skills include scouting a 1-base terran, forgetting the scouted information and just macroing up until my main gets destroyed by the terran drop, miss doing any macro whenever something interesting is happening, not multitasking at all (ever) etc. Barcodes won't help at a way lower level of play. Having a barcode name won't change the game, so why treat it any different than any other game? | ||

My older brother used to say gg both when he was winning and losing, and the game would sometimes last for a while after that. But I wasn't going to tell him that he was saying gg wrong.

Having a barcode name won't change the game, so why treat it any different than any other game? Your points are all valid; however, I take exception with the last line "Having a barcode won't change the game...". I have to disagree with that last statement mainly because I encounter many of the same players online and recognize their names. In fact, sometimes I hit them so much that I recall "Oh ya, this guy likes to proxy DT" or "I remember this guy...he always cannon rushes." Many people can say the same about me..."this guy likes reapers or always goes proxy". With a barcode the anonymity is there and they can exploit the situation without scouting or performing a hard counter. I change my builds if I know someone knows "my style". The game is not on equal footing when a barcode already knows your style while retaining their anonymity. It also breeds for more BM on their side versus someone with a name. | ||

I also think it's really weird that you can leave the game immediately after sending the GG. To me, saying GG is like extending a hand for a handshake, not just an admittance of a loss. I think blizzard should add a new feature: when a player sends GG, the 'quit' function is grayed out for 10 seconds, or until the winner types GG back. That would do two things: it would give more meaning to GGing out, and also removes the pointless pressure on players to say "good game" even when they don't believe it. | ||
