(though it could be masked somehow to look like points, even though it isn't. thus avoiding confusion from the noobs).

Then I figured there are much bigger issues at hand, and I would save the suggestion for later.

In Starcraft 2, MMR can be fairly accurately inferred at the highest levels by comparing ladder points and the available bonus pool. If we get a visible and limited bonus pool in a future season, we can quickly enough compare skill ranks.
