Re-add ratings and rank data to logs
The ratings and rank details have been in the logs for, a very very long time.
The recent publicity about the nature of mmr ratings and how there are apparent bugs in that rating does not magically (pun intended) turn data which was freely included historically into a bug to hide.
Many trackers rely on rank details to provide value to customers or as differentiators in general.
Rating data, which does not directly affect rank, does provide insightful data into performance of the player and how their overall skill is being translated.
Change this back and give the community the data you have to this point freely and without issue.
Categorizing this as a bug suddenly is insulting and disingenuous at best.

Aaaaaah! So now, by this act of concealing rating data, Wizards admits that there are indeed shenanigans with matchmaking! Perhaps they don't want us to be able to monitor our own rating changes as we play? They just want to control who gets to win and when, I suppose. If I am wrong, then prove it by restoring the ratings to the logs, making them visible plainly at all times in the system's UI, AND let us choose our decks AFTER being matched with someone in "ranked" queues... because, you know, otherwise you'll be caught in a lie when you guys said deck-strength isn't taken into account in Ranked, which is demonstrably false. So, here's a chance to make good and defeat the purpose of deck-strength influence on matchmaking in Ranked just to make sure. If you weren't lying, then it'll make no difference regardless of when we get to pick our decks other than to put our minds at ease that we aren't being set up to lose based on what strategy we decide to use in a given game as well as the fact that when we lose, we can rest assured that learning from our losses will be rewarded rather than simply having different decks appear in response to tweaking our decks to keep the losing streak going. Refusal simply adds legitimacy to what I'm calling you out for.
Do you want people to ditch this platform when they realize it is technically pointless to 'compete' in a game with fixed matches and eventually get ****** off? Granted, this will happen organically on its own at this rate and has been, but those of us who are utterly appalled by and ****** off with this **** are rather tempted to make it worse by discouraging new business and encouraging existing business to leave. If you want to preserve your business, you'll do what your customers tell you to do. You clearly DO NOT know what is best for the MtG community. Alchemy proved that!

Please restore, maybe have an option to hide this data through client settings if this is somehow a privacy issue?

Why was this labeled a bug?

This undermines consumers' trust in the product. We already have plenty of conspiracy theories and shuffle truthers, don't feed them reasons.

Very consumer-unfriendly change indeed!

I would add that as the information has been available to people who are prepared to dig through the logs or install third party apps to do so, it should actually be included on the user profile page of the Arena app.

Hiding important data like this is very anti consumer. Let the players know where they stand in arena.

Wizards, if you truly care about the community, you will allow us to see our own data.

This is incredibly useful and necessary info. Please restore.

The information is very useful for self assessment and is only seen by enfranchised players. There's no downside for leaving it in the logs and huge upside for players who want to more objectively evaluate their performance.
