Suggestion: A Plug-in that Shows Your Competition

[Theoretical]

Hey Theori here with another suggestion,

When I join a server, I always find myself wondering who is my biggest competition, and because points are not that reliable to tell how good someone is, I suggest a feature that the determines the best players, and orders them in win or win percentage count.

So when someone would join a server they could type something to the extent of /best or /competition or /win percentages to tell you who's most likely to win or be of competition.

This also provides further reason to get better, get some wins, and keep practicing. And hopefully another incentive or goal will get people to play longer.

I want to hear what you guys think!

We need someone to make an algorithm for this!

I would like to know if there really is someone better than me when I'm on at 5 in the morning.

This would be awesome! It would be great for new people too, so that they know who to avoid ingame

I always do that in the lobby. I check some people and their records and think "Huh, this might be an easy win" But then..."Ifrox joined the game" My Win percentage goes down to 10%

Well I don't think that new people will start a fistfight with [6798]<zenoCrafter>

But yeah, this is a good idea!

Now that I have approval, the next question is the algorithm as Hysterically pointed out. How how would this even work... I never was too good at math....

Screw math we have cake!

 

[Torchy // aezlurr]

DO IT, that's awesome

Sounds cool, but then I could never hide out and then surprise noobs with my skills......

>.<

Well, win percentage isn't exactly accurate, either...

I, for example, have been giving a lot of wins to my teammates, of which I could easily beat. (And I mean a lot...I win 2, maybe three times in a day I only team and play for hours, but playing for an hour or two less on my own, I win more like 7 times...) As well, even with such a good win percentage myself, I'm still no better than egrodo or any of them just because mine is better.

Points aren't really accurate...for obvious reasons.

Wins aren't accurate...again, for obvious reasons.

Honestly, none of the methods to see who is the "best" in the lobby are really that great. A combination of them would be better - I.E: A secondary account used to store mass points like Creeper_Mayor in the US wouldn't be able to keep up with wins while staying high in points. A horrible win percentage adds onto how unlikely it is the points are legit.

Also, keep in mind that the entire statistics system would have to be revamped for this to happen.
I mean, I plan on doing it anyways to do more of a day-by-day statistics thing, but it's just something to keep in mind.
