Why Can't I See Their Rank?

[Commander Cody]

It has always puzzled me why I can't see another player's rank on their profile. Why should I have to wait until the end of match to see their rank? If they're my friend I can see their rank right away. What is so personal about your CS:GO rank? What is the big deal?

On a side note and a bit of a funny, is this how Valve hide the hackers???

How did you even connect it to cheaters?
It's like, "look, Valve made a new buy menu, of course it is to help hackers".

Ranks are hidden to avoid dismorale when, for example, low ranked player is matched with higher ranked player, so he won't think "what is this, I won't play it, GGWP I'm gonna be AFK" and so on.

You really needed a leap of faith with that last line of sentencing... Holy. Hiding ranks has nothing to do with protecting/hiding cheaters.

Also, ranks are removed from practically EVERY competitive game and not shown until the end. Helps people focus and not get psyched out. Some people might see a higher rank and perform poorly thinking it's already hopeless.
