For the custom variations being disabled in ranked matches, one of the main arguments for that was that it allowed players to be able to know what abilities the opponent has. However, being able to know this would be based on seeing the name and icon of the character so you can say "OK, so Swordsman Scorpion has Misery Blade and Teleport Cancel". If the guy customizes his name and chooses one of the new icons then you wouldn't have that information anyways and all you can see if that you're up against Ragey McFlameboy with some icon that he unlocked in the Krypt, so you're right where you would be if they just had custom variations.
