Re-add Profile Badge/Account level/Lifetime games played, useful for spotting smurfs

[Aphotic]

Description

profile badge was removed (by mistake i guess) it was a very fast way to check newly created smurf accounts by hovering on the badge you could glance at lifetime games

we need a profile badge showcased obligatory(no way hiding it) like before or at least show profile level somewhere when you hover over rank or name, etc.

other than that it was a very cool trophy to have with items as badge accumulated after playing DotA for years, like to have mine showcased in some way or another

was enabled/mentioned by Valve dev @jeffhill a year ago

Reddit thread to discuss it: https://old.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/16v54v9/suggestion_to_readd_this_feature_to_user_profiles/

Example Match ID (and possibly Timestamp)

We don't need this. Do you also ignore all the harassing idiots who check your profile and comment your level and say something like "5000 matches and still on legend?" or other comments`?

agree, we don't need this. profile customisation or layout should limit the possibility of insults / cyber harassment. total games are meaningless when you play turbo. Checking out non steam friends recent matches was an invasion of privacy, so profile level in trophies should be hidden to only friends and not public as well. this is only used to throw insults. in the past it's nice to get free items and open chest from profile level but it's removed now. new players also just need fixed 100 hours not level 20 profile anymore. does matchmaking algorithm even use profile level? i dont see any good / positive reason why non steam friends should be able to check out your total lifetime games + profile level.

seasonal total games / MVP / battlecup wins / commends are nicer to see than total games / profile level. maybe edit profile should have new counters e.g. current ranked winning streaks / win predictions / seasonal total games / separate counter for turbo mode winning streaks / max hero winning streaks, as surely there are casual players who would love to display their seasonal current / max winning streaks in turbo or ranked.

to detect smurfs i would suggest to make their profile highlighted with trophy as if they won battlecup. e.g. if they had 3 or more MVP in a row within 15 matches and show their MVP heroes for other team to counter it

I disagree. If someone has 10,000 games and is still a Legend, that is their Level... now imagine the opposite, a user with 200 Games on Ancient/Divine/Immortal Rank. Or someone with Tinker, Arc, Invoker, Visage with 50-200 Games on low Rank. Without badge, how we can know now ? Bullying someone because of the tool showing number of matches is a Behavioral Problem on toxic players, not a problem with the tool. Pay attention to the opponent's farming pattern? I'm IN THE GAME, I need to pay attention to a thousand things for my hero and my team. -We live in a world without Smuff or Acc Buyer ? No !! -Leave 100% smurf detection to Valve ? You're kidding me, right? Bring Back profile badge showcased obligatory

You seem to have a hard time seeing the problem here. Let me put it this way instead. Let's say you do your best and try to win a game, but you keep losing and one or two of your team flame you, one enters into your profile and writes like this "7000 games and still archon" and he continues to harass you, precisely because you cannot be anonymous. So who are you to have accessories from someone else's game history? Maybe because you suck and don't want to learn how to improve by focusing your game? Don't put this on smurf, improve your BS attitude, that you should have a need and see someone else's profile.
