Anonymous Mode?

Whats with all my ascendant team mates having anonymous mode on like they are 1000 viewer andys who are getting sniped every game

Valo is a social game. Just like how in Discord some people stay on invisible 24/7, in Val some people use the name hide feature so they don't meet a familiar face, someone who played with them recently, so they can avoid being recognized and having to initiate a convo in all chat. People are less likely to go to career and check the names of everyone in the last match. I know it's pussy behavior, but this is legit something my friend does. The rank doesn't even matter, even in Swift and DM 90% has name hidden.

so i can be racist and toxic and people wont know me

i get the same thing in bronze to gold lobbies its funny

i only hide names because of how cringe and weird some users are, pussyeater404 or like underhisdesk22 i dont wanna read that shit
