I think flames serve a purpose in providing low- to mid-tier battlers an accomplishment they can actually get by their name. Sure its annoying for us to see snipers with them, but those people will always do their thing anyway. I remember when I was really new I got a single orange flame and I was so stoked with it, and I wanted to continue battling harder and harder opponents to move up the rankings on a win streak until eventually I lost it to Alzie. Fond memories haha
