You know whats really annoying when playing Siege? When some random person clicks your name and sees your ranked k/d and win/loss then they type into chat "haha ur bad because your kd is bad" it's honestly demoralizing and annoying to deal with mostly due to the fact that theyre being toxic because of a negative k/d, this whole public k/d also encourages people to save their k/d to not be made fun of by others since they also want a positive kd and encourages people to play more cowardly to avoid being bullied for having a bad k/d. I honestly wouldn't mind having my profile private if that means I can actually play like i usually do without being shamed for having a low k/d. Also this public kd can encourage boosting to get a bettet k/d. I also hate the fact that all my stats are public on r6tracker so some nosy sweat can take a look at who i play most, giving them an advantage. Heck even Overwatch has private profiles, so why can siege have private profiles?

Hi!

I like this idea. I know that looking up stats on other players is good for getting an idea for the kind of player you're matching up with (R6Tracker, etc) but I do know of instances where those stats have been used in toxic encounters. I think making it a toggled feature could go a long way for players who don't want their stats out for this reason. We're looking for ways to combat toxicity, and this could seemingly be another way to do that, so thank you for this suggestion. I hope having these kinds of interactions haven't prevented you from playing our game, because we know that's always a possibility. Again, thank you for the suggestion, and I can add the suggestion to my report to see what the team thinks about it!
