we should re open this topic

so a little while back spacebar suggested that we dial back variant ratings, i think this would be a good idea now, with variants only just starting to gain popularity we need to judge people on their atchual skill rather then just these big flashy ratings! i like having a big rating but i also like knowing the atchual skill of my opp

As explained there that's not going to happen.

Tip: You can see player's best live rating in the popup,

or click on the name to visit their profile (opens in a new window)

sure but it still gives you an idea of how strong a player you face, especially if they're new on variants. like 1500?  the ? means they haven't played many games yet.

i mean true but with people coming from other sites its still hard to judge the rating
