Renown Rank on the Scenario Scoreboard

Is it possible to create a column on the scenario scoreboard to show a player's current renown rank next to their rank/level? The difference between rr40 and rr70 is huge and it really should be on display on the scoreboard.

The main purpose of this is to let players, especially newer ones, know what they are up against. Knowing the renown rank of the players would let a player know who is more likely to be dangerous or more important to support. Obviously renown rank isn't everything, but it is pertinent information (similar to player skill and class). Aside from that it would also give an idea of why a particular player was easy/hard to kill.

Second to that it would also give more actual renown (not in-game points but notoriety) to certain players who are higher in renown rank, and those that do well despite their low renown rank.

Can't wait for the toxic chat to start when your side gets mostly low RR up against all high RR enemies. Ive played many games that had these snapshot skill/gear symbols- it doesn't take long before the gear/RR bashing will start. That or people won't even try if MM gives them the lowbies.

And yeah, GMs can handle it as they come in, but do we really want to make them even more busy?

This won't be implemented. The dodging that would inevitably ensue because people are too scared to fight anything tougher than them would be immediate. If you really need to know someones renown rank, look it up on the armory after they dunk hard on you. Eventually you'll learn the names, but over time you should find other ways to win scenarios than scouting your enemies in real time. Group up, coordinate, dominate, etc.
