So since next season your border will represent your current rank, maybe have it show here too?

Like, a border around your summoner icon showing your current highest rank of any queue. Or your current "ranked armor" next to your name?

Why, so that when you speak up in a thread everyone can downvote you and rank-shame you?

"No one cares what you think, Silver"

I mean, you'll probably get upvotes on this, as many in these boards love getting on their high horse... though the truth of these boards is that it represents the league community identically to what you see during the normal gaming experience.

I'd vote for the opposite: you should not be able to see people's rank at all, so that when people contribute, their input is taken at face value, rather than some derivative of how keen they are to climb in ranked... when the fact of the matter is that people at any rank can have a valid perspective.

I mean people can already check your rank on op.gg and rank shaming is against the boards rules, so all it would change would be so people have a way to show off their shiny rank on the boards.

Yeah, people can check, and they already do, but parading it for all to see would only prompt a rise in such behavior. You could only avoid it by allowing people to have monikers on these boards, which I think would be a step too far - the few ruining it for the many - as people often ask for input that requires people to look at their match history etc..

I mean - in an ideal world, sure it's a nice idea.

Edit: it's against the rules? I would have never known... pretty sure I see it all over the place.

Rank shaming is hard against the rules, just report it next time you see it here. Light banter is allowed though.

Well, if that is the case, then you have changed my perspective. Shine forth thine holy banners of rank!
