hello fellow steemmonster addicts im here to talk today about the new game mechanics that were introduced with season 3 rank play.
this post specifically about the timing of team building before a match.
many people that are seasoned players feel the time is to long where as new players are worried they will not have enough time to make a useful team.
i propose a timing protocol based on not only your league levels but also on the size of the team the mana allows.
currently the timing is set at around 3 minutes per match
my proposition would be to have
3 minutes be maximum time for any match from novice-silver leagues 25-27 mana
2:30 minutes max time n-s 21-24 mana
2 minutes max time n-s 18-20 mana
1:30 minutes max time n-s 15-17 mana
2:30 minutes max time gold 25-27 mana
2 minutes max time gold 21-24 mana
1:30 minutes max time gold 18-20 mana
1 minutes max time gold 15-17 mana
2 minutes max time diamond 21-27 mana
1:30 minutes max time diamond 18-20 mana
1 minutes max time diamond 15-17 mana
1:30 minutes max time champion 21-27 mana
1 minutes max time champion 15-20 mana
as you can see the time not only goes down each league after silver but based on the mana cap matches get longer or shorter for selection time.
1 alternative method if this seems too complicated would be an additive time based on selecting cards
every match would start with 1 minute on the clock and every card clicked adds or removes 10 seconds to the clock
this would allow people to assess the mana limits and match type and carefully select their 1st 2nd etc card and encourage those that want to just play a quick game to pick teams faster and enter the arena.
