A Thing wants to have the ability to hide his BP because newer players get scared and kill themselves or something

I'm not sure it would be a good idea but what about not giving new players the ability to see other people's BP in a match until they reach 1.5k? That way by the time they see are able to see it, they're more comfortable with playing the game already.
I have to do so much reassuring and disclaimers at the start of matches for players who react.

iListen2Sound I really like this idea since the issue is only at lower bp. Maybe 1k is enough to start letting them see though since 1.5k is pretty massive. 1k is already 200 wins

I agree with this one significantly. The game was better before people could immediately see each others BP. This includes the match info mod. Every game is just now a power level intimidation contest.
I often take it easy on newer players but now they have an easier time identifying that and it makes it feel like I'm toying with them.
I think showing BP really only serves to dishearten newer players as more experienced players can pretty much instantly get a feel for the skill level of their opponent regardless of BP.

Ender I feel you are wrong on the match info part. With match info it is almost always just the higher tiered players who have that mod. This allows me to start by not immediately shredding a new player. You CANNOT play an opening set of moves without knowing their bp can hold back. They will already be half dead by the time I have a chance to notice. I used to have people quit off of that alone.
I do think that seeing others' bp when you have a low bp is not beneficial, though, as it causes intimidation as you said.
After a certain amount it doesn't tell you much more than how much they have played but at the start it makes a bit difference

it is kind of annoying for new players to assume that the best way to end a match is by jumping off, i would much rather have a fight where I hold back than none at all.
