Imo, keeping stats is dangerous due to the vagaries of game balance.

Players already feel cheated if they lost because they believe other team is too strong, it will be worse if losing becomes a mark on their permanent record.

I would also anticipate far more strategic replacing out, and replacing out is already something that happens too often.

Normal games could become ranked games.

Unless you can point out to me some incredibly and angrily unbalanced normals.


I think changing "normal" to "ranked" altogether would be awesome, with a Ranked Review Committee who ensures that roles are normal enough and balance is reasonable. It would also encourage more players to play normal games, while making themes more of "for fun"
