I simply don't like the Idea of BR I want to play games against even teams and win or lose based on coaching ability If I get a helping hand from a low BR and win well I didn't really win anything the system did.

This thread is not about BR in the formula that the scheduler uses, but about being able to see it.
(I know, if the BR was out of the formula, win% could do the trick... but I see no problem n BR itshelf)

I like the fact that it's hidden. You want to see a "rating," keep your happy butt in Ranked where they seem to live and die by it. Also, some here would continue to chomp at the bit if it is kept hidden, and that's funny to watch. Keep it hidden. Very Happy

Well, we have an strong yes on the votes so far, so is there any chance we can see BR now, so that people have something to aim at?

Quick one off games are great, but there is nothin on the horizon, no tournaments, no awards, BR would at least give us a target.

I think we might get to see BR once B moves out of the testing stages.

I originally said No, but now I am thinking maybe it would be better to make BR public and eliminate CR from [R], allowing us to have a competetive picker-free division where we can compare coaching abilities, and a division where you can have fun without being troubled too much by the result.

Displaying BR will be crucial to having the division work once it's out of testing - it's the reward mechanic for the division, after all.

Displaying BBR is more dubious - it will encourage some people to go for a high BBR at all costs (including ephemeral things like winning the match).
