Setting Option to Hide Your Grade
Reading back from the matchmaking test logs the devs recently put out, they made some interesting points that a population may like their grades hidden or to not be shown the grades from all players in the postgame, while the other side would like that for comparison reasons or just straight reinforcement. Personally, I believe grades only have a little effect on players postgame, but can still be noted mentally. That being said, would a permanent solution from Behavior fix the postgame 'problem' so-to-speak or would it cause controversy? Alternatively, would it be possible for an option setting where you could hide players' grades in the postgame on your screen solely? That way if you wanted to see your competition afterward, that is of your choice as the player.

I can already see endgame chats full of "you hiding your Grade 'cause you're so trash" and similar.
The issue with visible grades is the thing they're most likely to just straight reinforce is the false idea that grades = skill because far too many people conflate the current grades with the old ranks.
No one needs to see Grades endgame. People need to quit blaming Grades for their lack of skill.
Well a setting, when turned on, that hides everyone's grades on your screen, but someone else with the setting off can see everyone's grades regardless.
"That way if you wanted to see your competition afterward, that is of your choice as the player."
That is why they are going to hide it after these tests. Grades give no information about the competition. It is a false notion that too many people have and it is in its current state nothing more than a reward system for games played during the month.
