Its bad for business when some cruel player see how much games they loss. They may stop playing because of that.

Its this stupid reason. I bet on it

we don't have a marketing department :|. Maybe I can hire my cat for marketing head.

The reasoning is 2 fold:
1. Yes, it's not encouraging to see a ton of losses if you're in the lower leagues. We're trying to encourage people to play in the leagues, not beat them with a stick when they are simply learning.

2. Given how the matchmaking system should work, within a few weeks your w/l will trend to 50/50. Making a w/l display almost meaningless as it hovers around 47-52%. The only players that would consistently get 50%+ are top master and super titan players.

That said, we're open to showing w/l for top tier players who might benefit the most from such a statistic in the future.
