Anonymous or Blind player setting in Arena games

Post by Spellingbeez »

It would be nice to have competitive Arena settings be "anonymous" (in the same way you don't know who you are matched with during the initial matching screen) in games with 3+ players to minimize player bias. This is especially critical and useful in games with a lower player pool.

What do you mean by anonymous settings exactly?

Can you normally see what settings others have selected?

They worded it poorly, but isn't it pretty apparent that they mean they want the people you're playing against to remain anonymous even after the game starts when they says this: "in games with 3+ players to minimize player bias. This is especially critical and useful in games with a lower player pool."
