In light of the recent discussion about elo rankings and some of the various opinions of the problems and merits, I have the following design proposal. I want to make everyone happy while also especially considering the UI complexity. I am willing to contribute artwork for this but I don't have the skills do implement the code. Although considering implementation is looking too far ahead; this is mostly a brainstorm.

Elo as a number becomes almost entirely invisible. Instead, you are in a 'league' based on your elo ranking. Instead of the number, you get an emblem representing your league. Since you may be in different leagues depending on the different game types, there are some rules are to when each ranking is displayed:

My hopeful goals with this are to keep the feeling of fun from competitive ranking and the feeling of personal progression while hoping to reduce some of the smurfing and other behavior.

(Also worth noting I think that a league system has been on the to-do since about when elo was first implemented)
