I have an idea for a LEADERBOARD. This is something that could encourage players in playing. It is something that should be visible when you are playing, online. Not something that you must go through a website or XBOX or whatever. Next to your name, you would have your ranking, for example : 1st (best player of AOE : DE), 145th, or 1735th! This is something that speaks more than a score. Because you really get to compare yourself to the entire community.
How can we accomplish this? Simple. Behind these rankings, there would be a hidden score.
1v1 :
WIN : Against a better player : +10
Against a player with a lower score than you : +1
Against a player that has a way too low score than you : +0 (to prevent farming with alternate accounts or by playing against complete begginers just to improve your score)
LOSE : Against a better player : -1
Against a player with a lower score than you : -10
Teams :
First, it retains the largest amount of players per teams. So if it’s a 4v2, then the largest number is 4 players per team.
We’ll create a ‘Team score’ by adding up all of their players and divided it by the number above.
For example :
TEAM #1:
Pro_4840 (Score : 8000)
Mix_Fun (Score : 7500)
Total divided by 4 : 3,875
TEAM #2 :
Noob1514 (Score : 3500)
Beginnerxxx (Score : 2800)
Lalalalgrrg (Score : 6757)
Mumu (Score : 500)
Total divided by 4 : 3,389
Based on this, the system is saying that there is a much higher probability that team #1 is going to win over team #2. Now, if
The strongest team WINS : +1 for all who survived the match. those who did not : -10
The strongest team LOSES : -10 for all
The weakest team WINS : +10 for all who survived the match, those who did not : -1
The weakest team LOSES : -1 for all
In another world, let’s say we increase the skillevel of team #2 just a bit :
TEAM #1:
Pro_4840 (Score : 8000)
Mix_Fun (Score : 7500)
Total divided by 4 : 3,875
TEAM #2 :
Noob1514 (Score : 3500)
Beginnerxxx (Score : 2800)
Lalalalgrrg (Score : 6757)
Beastmode_on (Score : 7200)
Total divided by 4 : 5064,25
Now, the system is saying there is much higher chance of team #2 winning. Now, this is what happens :
If team #1 wins : +10 for succeeding a 2v4 against decent players even though they have a weaker average score) This only applies to all who survived the match, others get -1
If team #1 loses : -1 (or -0, depending on the gap the dev applies)
If team #2 wins : +1 for those who survived the match, for simply winning 4v2. But depending on the gap, it could be +0 too. It’s -10 for those who did not survive.
if team #2 loses : -10 for all
Leaderboard
With such scoring in place, it could be translated into a ‘ranking’. So you know how many players you’re better than!
THIS IS PURELY SUGGESTIVE AND OPENED TO IMPROVEMENT!
