    We all know the story. You get back from "whatever stressful thing you do in life" and want to unwind. So you play a bit of battle bay. It starts off well, you win your first couple of matches, and you watch your infamy slowly rise :D But then you lose a match, and again...and again..and your infamy is right back to where it started. At this point every time you lose or win a match you glance at your infamy just hoping it will be higher than before. Your mental state relies on the advancement of your infamy.

    What if...you never looked at your infamy?...

    The more I play, the more I see that infamy makes me angry the most. For some reason I expect it to be WAY better every battle I play, and when my unrealistic goal is not achieved, I get frustrated. It only takes a mere 160-165 wins to make it from 0 to 4000 infamy. What if you made the choice to avoid looking at your infamy in anyway possible for just one day? I believe your experience battling would increase! I believe that unrealistic feeling that you have to preform would dissipate and you could finally play the game for fun!

    So if you wanted to do this, just to test it out, what would you need to do?
    1. Cover up/don't look at your infamy in the top left corner on the home screen
    2. Try not to click on your profile
    3. Try not to look at your standing in the season or your guild, this might be difficult, but it shouldn't last for long
    4. When you start a battle, cover up EVERYONE'S infamy so you don't get an idea where you stand
    5. When a battle ends, the same as #4

    I am curious to see how it turns out for you if you decide to try it. Let me know below :)

    Infamy alone I don't care about. The associated gold and sugar bonuses, however...

    Your enthusiasm is astounding :p game modes? Nah. New Items? Nah. Just an option to toggle off the infamy

    That takes a lot of developing to get new items and game mods, devs are too lazy and don't care enough to do all that.

    Togling off infamy on the other hand should be easy, we can demand this and actually get it if we make enough noise

    I'm in desperate need of this "hide infamy" feature. I just lost my shit whenever I'm on a losing streak and my infamy got lowered significantly. It makes me frustrated and it affects my playing to be worse and resulting in an even longer losing streak.

    :p well that would be a little more difficult to change. You can't just toggle off losing
