I have an absolutely nutty idea - implement the ability to VK players under 800 elo.
On a more serious note, I think that it is an entirely valid idea for the following reasons:
- There are rules surrounding delaying the start of a game:
Do not delay a game from starting by joining/leaving multiple times or otherwise.
^I understand that this is intended to stop people from trolling lobbies by joining and leaving as the rule states, but it is also intended to allow games to start without having to wait 10+ minutes and allow a certain "flow". Sub-800 elo players ruin said flow because people do not want to play with them.
Chances are that most people who are below 800 elo simply refuse to listen which is how they got there in the first place. Games such as LTD are not particularly difficult to learn to the point where 900+ is possible.
Also, it is not hard to reset stats or create a new account still allowing these players to play and not get kicked from every lobby.
To summarize, I understand why lobby VK was disabled (abuse), but in this case:
1) I feel that it helps get games started
2) Encourages players to improve to the point where they can be worked with (and discourages behaviours of players such as "LowestEloEver" who has sufficient experience to understand the game by now but likely chooses not to)
3) And is not prohibitive because of the ease of resetting stats and/or creating a new account.
Any feedback on this suggestion is welcome, but here are just some initial thoughts.
