This is annoying in FFAs when spectators seek to influence the game by using !predict to communicate with players.

I'd like to see it reimplemented as a lobby only command that prints out the expected teams with a "match quality" being min(teamprediction)*2 * 100 .. "%" something like:

Predicted game quality: 100%
Team 1: Shaman, Shaman2, Shaman3
vs
Team 2: Shaman6, Shaman4, Shaman5

OR

Predicted game quality: 75.25%
Team 1: Shaman (2x comm), Shaman2
vs
Team 2: Shaman3, Shaman4, Shaman5

An example from site:


-> Predicted Match Quality: 52.2%
Team 1: USrankRiposteR
vs
Team 2: PLrankizirayd



-> Predicted Match Quality: 94.6%

I guess the predict code is so basic that that was simply not considered during makeing of it.

Because there is little infra development. We may be better off removing it completely. Or perhaps making it PM the player.

The player list could calculate win chances from the player elo which would generally be better ux than a hidden command. This would also account for resigned players which the command can't. Then we can do away with the in-game command entirely.

If anyone wants to implement that feel free to ask me for help with the math.

Why not just only disable !predict in FFA games?

This seems like a considerably better solution than just plain removing. As in, "Why can't I see what the machine thinks my chances are?" and "Why does everyone else have to see them (the stats) when I ask for them?"
