The real reason I'd imagine is to prevent players from being discouraged if they have more losses than wins and not for the reason Harti states. What Harti says is true, but that's not the main reason why the info is left out.

Either way though, I stated my thoughts above on why I think w/l should be included regardless - at least for masters and super-titan players if not for everyone.

Yeah i was also addressing the issue of a player being discouraged. I agree with you. Maybe having it off by default(as it is now), but still allowing the user the ability to turn it on(full win loss record, maybe more metrics even).

How about this scenario. A player feels he/she is making no progress because he/she stays at the same ranking for a long time or slowly climbs. They may just give up because they think they just suck at the game. They have no point of reference in regards to their progress, or if they are even at a 50% win loss ratio(which would mean you are average) They are left with making an assumption as their only option.

My biggest complaint is that there is a ladder for competitive play and there is an option for casual play. Why treat the folks who play competitively with kid gloves?
