Sharing eco based on player elo

In addition to Klon's points:

Part of having high elo is dealing with your team's low-elo players wasting metal on silly things. Soft skills like providing helpful tips and taking a leadership role can help mitigate the waste of new players. Also, truly terrible players probably don't grok eco anyway, so they'll excess metal into the community pool and leave reclaim lying around which you can collect.

There's no need to nerf newbies.

EDIT: oh, this is a troll thread.

Why should the higher elons not have a higher chance to win!

Games are pretty much decided by higher elos anyway. Why not have it so that the baddies have less a impact.

they do no good to the team. Heck I would burn them all. stake them on a cross. burn them all.

Get rid of elo. Let just have numbers and the one who wins with a higher number gets more eco.

We must protect this community from nubs.

High elo players will not get a higher chance to win, since the other team will also have the advantage of having more resources for the higher elo players.
I think his would just put more pressure on high elo players, less incentive for playing well for lower elo players and I especially think it would nerf cooperation.

Higher elo players do in general get more metal than others, because they reclaim more.

The solution in the OP is convoluted and deceptive. A better approach is to kick everyone but the top players on each team and let them fight it out with all the comms and the income.

Also, why would we ever want to directly incentivize Elo farming/hoarding?

High elo players are already likely to get more resources:
1. The highest elo player gets an extra com when there are uneven teams.
2. The highest elo player gets their allied units and stored resources when they go afk or leave the game.
3. People are more likely to assist construction of your units or share units to you as they know that you are likely to perform well with those units.

If income is distributed by elo, and distributed to the proportion that a player can use it best, Godde would get 100% of eco every game.

Even with the extra 'attention' and micro other players contribute, Godde is so much better than you that he can still use all your metal better.

Add to that the fact that Godde can now rush a Sumo or Scallop drop or 10 Ravens or a huge scorcher killsquad or make Vindi's and drop most of his teams comms right on top of the enemy and how much more powerful that is than everyone making 4 raiders and a constructor, and Godde gets 100% of the eco every game.

There is almost no game in which I would ever want to give eco to a player with 200 less elo than me if I had a choice. Ever.

Finally, players who get little eco have no incentive to make mexes. Now they're even a worse drag on everyone else.

So yeah. What GoogleFrog said. Because I hate team games. :|

He isn't even joking though. I've had some wonderfully memorable team games against him which swing back and forth to favour whoever has the least allies wasting his teams metal. Usually we'd porc it out and try and lag our allies into dropping so we could get to the actual fighting part. Then half my team drops all at once and I'm like "I win! My team had the crappier PC's and worse attention span!"

BTW ths is why sfireman makes singus but manages to maintain such high elo. If he finishes his singu he gets most of his teams overdrive and can actually get enough impact over the outcome of the game to win it.
