Spectator Leaderboard

I propose we create a Spectator Leaderboard.

How it will function. Spectators may choose bet 10 elo on a match they spec on who team wins or loses at the start of the match. If they are correct the elo is rewarded to them. If not they lose 10 elo. Basically this will create a fun minigame for spectators to do.

All spectators start with 1000 elo as their starting bank. Elo for specs can not fall below 100.


I hope this idea gets considered. Would be nice to see who makes good predictions and a fun time all around.

this already exists as a widget for tech annhialation spring mod and could be easily ported.. probably already works out of the box

i might ask senna or hakora if they know who made it

would this be the same elo, which is used for balancing?
when are bets closed? at start or during the game?
will there be a new ladder fpr spec-elo?

there is a good argument for making it not real balance elo or you could intentional self smurf or become purple without any skill but if its fake elo then people wont have enough stake in the bet unless there was atleast a leader board.

No, this would be it's own thing.

I think at match start (so after pregame queues have been placed)

That's the idea.

Spec would be "fake" elo as in it doesnt change your rank yes but still has a leaderboard. Maybe it can have its own ranks or something if people wish.

Maybe some micro-predictions too, like:
-most common factory
-first commander death
-game ends before x mins

Also idk if player chat should be able to see spec predictions (maybe special spec chat that you can join and not leave until the battle is over?)

i feel that a 1 minute window after game start would also be interesting otherwise its just a bet on rank placement start que and matchup

Yeah, or perhaps bet can be placed at any point in the game, but the system updates the payout based on current total value difference between teams (you get 2x more points if your team is 5000 value behind, vice versa for ahead).

Giving people an incentive to spec-cheat might not be wise.

I can't imagine this coexisting with spectator all-chat, and even removing that would only fix the "impulse control" part of the problem, not the "deliberate cheating" or "appearance of deliberate cheating" part. The number of "Spectator X was secretly communicating with Player Y to gain gamba-elo" allegations I wish to be asked to resolve in my lifetime is zero.
