The Mythic+ Rating system is now available for testing on the Patch 9.1 PTR. In the LFG system, group leaders are now able to see the score of all applicants to their group and applicants are able to see the score of the group leader!
Mythic+ Score in LFG
Making a Group
In addition to the standard Item level, role and name when making a Mythic+ group through LFG, you'll now get to see each applicant's Mythic+ score on the base UI.
Group Leaders will now have an additional
in-game
metric to help decide who they want to invite to their groups, without needing to update the
Raider.io addon
.
Joining a Group
When you're lookin for a group in LFG in Patch 9.1, you can now see each group leader's Mythic+ score on the base UI. You can use this to help you determine which group you wish to apply for.
Mythic+ Score Breakdown
There's also a Mythic+ Score breakdown on the Mythic+ UI now, showing how your overall Mythic+ score is made up, and broken down by dungeon! It seems a little unfinished at the moment, as there's currently a "Best Fortified" and "Best Tyrannical" line but no reference as to how much bonus you actually get for completing both, but we know that Blizzard will give you bonuses for completing keys on both
Tyrannical
and
Fortified

interview with Ion Hazzikostas

Cool. Another reason for the elitist @#$%s that run the game to judge people based on a number. Super great feature. Great job.
You do understand that the number is a direct indicator of your experience in past M+ runs, right? It isn't some random number that gets assigned to you arbitrarily. It is a number that you directly control how high or low it is, and is highly relevant to indicate your experience with the content it is used for.
Exactly. So this encourages inviting players with more experience, thus making it harder for other players to get experience. With time it will only get worse as players with experience will have easier time to find groups, thus increasing their number, while other players will be royally !@#$ed.
Also doesn't actually tell if player was boosted or has actual experience, thus promoting boost runs. It looks like developers love them because they do approximately *!@# all about unusable trade chat where boost spammers advertise 2-3 messages per second non stop, spam in group finder that always exists and reporting does absolutely nothing.

I mean, I understand what you're saying, I really do. When I started doing keys, I had to start from the bottom as well. I queued for keys at the same level as I had done in other dungeons, or one higher when I had all the keys done at a certain level and built up my score. I ran my own key a lot as well to get some higher ones in. I wasn't royally $%^&ed for starting late in a season, I just had to work my way up to the key level I was capable of. I just had the same process on an alt recently that I was having trouble linking to my main on raider.io. This path is open to everyone. If you don't want to do it the slow way, you can always get guildmates or build up a friends list from players you have plugged with, the highest io player in my guild atm just plays with people he has added to friends from pugging and puts together a group from there. You aren't &*!@ed if you don't already have score, you just have to do the same work everyone else running them put in at some point to build your score and/or build a list of players who you want to run with again.
I will agree on your second point, Blizzard's new system is currently looking like an objectively worse version of raider.io due to the lack of easily accessible information like number of runs timed above x key level, main progress and score, and run history. Currently with raider.io it only takes a quick look at their page to see if they are boosted or not, beyond the easy tells like double healer or double tank runs, you can very quickly see things like if the person has exactly one of each 15 timed and otherwise nothing but depleted 10s, or if literally all of their top runs are done with alts of 2.5k players, or vast score gaps between the player and the other teammates, or clearly grossly incorrect talents and gear used for all their runs, and so on. I do not support Blizzard's attempted replacement for raider.io at least in part due to that issue with it, though I have no personal objection to gold only boosting specifically because it is very easily detectable by using the raider.io site.

But raider.io is not meant to be replaced...
Having a built-in score just allows Blizzard to have way more flexibility with the M+ reward system. All extra information such as number of 15+ in-time dungeons, alt information and so on will be still available on raider.io website, while they will display the official M+ rating instead of their own score.
