Consider this: if any attribute related to you can be influenced by other people, law dictates that this attribute will be as low as humanly possible and anyone who cares solely about that attribute isn't smart enough to play with you with a level head.
Therefore, you want to have your rep as low as possible! The reasoning is the following:
If you rep is low, the mass of idiots will avoid you simply because your rep is low.
Had your rep been high, the idiots would play with you, but because they are idiots, they will lower your rep at the first given slight opportunity.
Your rep will thus decrease, and henceforth drive idiots away from you, leaving only the smart people who choose teammates not by rep but rather by past experience with them and remembering those who played well with them.
We can thus conclude that the rep (or any player-opinion-based attribute) is the gamer's natural defense system against idiots.
Thank you for watching, news at 11.
