i was thinking how to fill the lobbys that are not filling any more for example cf, burbenog survival chaos.

what if we have a new elo ranking. lets call it ENT all games elo?

how would it work?

lets say today is CF is the promoted game. so any games of CF goes towards ENT all game elo.
tomorrow is burbenog ( if your team wins u win elo if u loose all loose elo) and so on with other maps.
for this to work some people would skip days that the promoted map they may not like so every day degrade elo by 25 if you have not played a game.

we as a community can once a month have a vote and add new maps to the pool of random promoted map?
so as time goes on we can vote to add more maps or stick with the basics that ent host all ready.



i wonder if i made scene lol xD

The idea is not bad but given the state and dedication of most players within their own sub-communities, I just don't see this happening. It's a nice thought but there's multiple factors to consider in this with the primary one being the formula to properly calculate a ranking that's varied on multiple game categories.

Furthermore, promotional events are best served at announcement and nothing more. Making a rewards system will split current existing sub-communities and attract a newer type of player which in our current state isn't something to shift our priorities to.

We do appreciate your suggestion though and will no doubt take something of this to discuss amongst ourselves for potentially bringing player's favorite games such as LTD/DotA etc. to the spotlight for a bit.
