Default Re: score graphs

I wanted to revive this thread if only for a second now that I've got more experience (although not much).

I think perhaps that the current score graphs lend people to turn them off because they are too revealing on how powerful someone is in any particular area, often times likely leading to a "gang up on the big guy" mentality.

The old Dom I score graphs, while revealing general position in a certain area, is likely not as damning to a player doing well.

Quick edit: I guess what I am saying, in an abstract sense, is that the old score graphs are like a 1 to 10(?) scale on how someone is doing while the new graphs, comprised of a histogram approach, reveal much more closely the general well-being in a given Category, which poses risks during MP.

Thoughts on this?
