Isn’t naming every team in an alliance ||||| against the spirit of the game?

A number of top aw alliances are naming their teams the same. Something like ||||||||. So as other alliances can’t tell who their top champs are. Although technically it’s legal. Isn’t it against the spirit of the game being deceptive

Can't you just report in-game when you see the message?
I know it is strategy, but I personally think that it shouldn't be allowed, as it is a BS move. Why did anyone let this happen? Why would someone on Kabam change so many ingame names without any "good reason"?
I’m not concerned about that part. Although we cannot tell who is who Kabam still can.
It is more like manipulation of a broken system... Kinda like 2* wars. It isn't strictly speaking wrong, but the question is whether it is in the spirit of the game. It should be pretty obvious that all players should be able to maintain a unique name of their choice without having to worry that they will be disadvantaged because of it. The fact that some alliances are requiring this type of name change is just ridiculous. And I don't mean that it is the alliances fault, Kabam has allowed this tactic to remain, so until they say anything against it, more power to everyone participating. However, I think we can all admit that a game where changing your name to a generic combo of I's and l's gives you an advantage, is a game that is in need of fixing.
It does not disadvantage opposing players, it gives "barcode" players an advantage which is 2 different things.
In the training sessions before the world cup game between South Korea and Sweden, the S. Korean coach made his players swap jersey numbers to confuse the Swedish team because and I quote "It is very difficult for Westerners to distinguish between Asians ". That gave them a slight advantage however the Swedish team still won 1-0.
If you are good then you are good.
You can click on the individual person who commented and click report. You don't go to the alliance page to report someone you do it from the chat. Unless the chat starts mixing up profiles then you can still report players
If you do something to give yourself an advantage, you are by definition giving the opposition a disadvantage.
No. I don’t know what level you play at but by the time you play a few wars your defense is out there by who you have placed and what node. You can mix it up a little bit only so much. The bar code alliances are in match rooms to help keep certain ones in and out of the top 3. I have a screenshot i could add to show that. What happens is it ends up being the difference between having most your defenders hidden and none of them.
That’s a big advantage. Much easier to pick lanes and teams when you know the board. If skill is equal or your group is slightly better you will lose with your defenders exposed and theirs hidden. I hope that’s clear now
Kabam can either hide all names of all opponents or open the map up like before.
You can ask kabam to hide all defenders but them using the barcode is a damn good strategy and definitely not "against the spirit of the game". They have found a strategy that requires you to sacrifice your uniqueness, you can choose to do it or not.
Now this, which again is just sad.
Ahh well, it just makes them look pathetic really.
They're scared of playing legit. Most of them spent to get where they are instead of developing skill.
This practice needs to be stopped, or all defender profiles need to be hidden.
