[FEATURE REQ] Sort players online by rating/availability

Postby Poch » 24 Jul 2014, 10:09

Hi

Let's say you want to host a 5v5 reserved to 1500+ players. Actually you don't even know if there are enough online people that qualifies for your game :(

There is 350 people online and 75% of them are playing or in a lobby.
Problem : you can't tell how much is available.
Possible solution : add a checkbox to filter ingame ppl and/or display the number not in game.

From the 87 remaining 70 of them is not 1500+
Problem : you can't tell how much 1500+ rated players are actually online.
Possible solution : add a filter option where you can select desired rating range. From X to Y with combo boxes with all values from 0 to 2500 by increment of 100 for a quick UI example.

Now even if you can tell that from those 87, there is let say 17 that are above 1500 rating you don't know who is AFK, actually looking for a game or just chatting.
Problem : can't tell how much people are looking for a game from those 17.
Possible solution : if you selected the "Find Games" tab in the past 5 minutes you are officially counted as "looking for a game". Doesn't have to be a logo near your name or anything personnal. Just total number.

I would be very happy at least with the last feature :)

Yeah thats what i thought too, but first it would require to run some statistics maybe depending on day time and that's a little boring.

But i would appreciate any estimation.

When i play there is offen like 300-400 users. Sometimes games fill up quickly sometimes it take ages with the same # of ppl online and same rating/map in game title. So i started to think about this...
