eldercitizen Hero*, but I get your point.

As for the reason, the patch notes basically reads "we don't want players to be discouraged by the stats and badges of the champion squad"
However, this change comes across to me as:
"People complained about getting high ranked and no-life players in their matches, so we're hiding that fact"
Which doing so makes no sense as it removes part of Apex's identity, (being THE champion).
Furthermore, if Respawn makes a new system, it is bound to fail because as anyone who've seen the leaderboards during Ranked Rumble can tell you, players can and will use cheats and/or exploits to climb to the absolute top anyways.
So in short:
Respawn, just put the champion screen back or rework the champion screen to where it hides the player's badges, stats, (and even their banner frames), because then no one will see something like this:
Rather they would see:
and now suddenly, ahhh, a lot less "intimidating", (and also rework the matchmaking and remove badges and stats from those who didn't actually earn them).
I used to think players with hard to get badges and crazy stats were really good, but Respawn had really let the value of these badges and stats go.
Lastly, this removal is as lame as when they "fixed" Wattson's Easter Egg emote, (where Wattson could no longer place the Nessie on her teammate's hitboxes, (which did absolutely nothing to block enemy gun fire and made the emote fun to use)), and even lamer than when they removed the ability to emote while moving, (which yes, was a thing).
Only fools and newbies of the game will not see this change as clear as change to "rank distribution" bar before the games = Respawn is just actively masking their matchmaking that is tailored towards higher ranked players having field day in lower ranked lobbies, not matching Preds vs Preds but giving them D4 and even Plats.
Same with champion - remove it, so people do see that Pred 3stack is in your lobby time and time again and winning game after game. Which will become obvious anyways after they kill you given their 15+ kill/game streak.
This is disgusting! Instead of reverting Preds back to situation where Pred lobbies contain only Pred teams and took 10-15 min to matchmake and leave mortals out of the mix, you just "hide" the obvious rigged system.
Honestly would spit in the face of a person who made all of these changes and f-up ranked since then.
p.s. not sure who is discouraged given how many profiles are not bought and sold. AKA is it better to know that there is "ex Pred" in your lobby (that theoretically should be based on MMR = his current skill matches your current skill... trying not to laugh while writing this) and still win him in 1v1 vs not having that info and get owned by some low level smurf with cheats running servers for the day... go figure. Banners is not an issue, matchmaking is!
