Betting with Merrick

[Danubfeeda]

My suggestion is that there is a betting system with the shop owner "Merrick" in which you can bet goblin coins on the likelyhood of winning your next matchmaking game.

Unfortunately Merrick is a smart Goblin and bets can only be made once in the picking phase of the game, this way, the rating / win rate / KDR etc of both teams can be taken into account whilst determining the amount won / lost.

Players may only bet on winning the game and it must be TMM only. This may result in more players playing to win and less people "throwing" which causes anger in the HoN community. In the case of players playing purely for fun and not rating, there will be an option to turn off betting while queing. (There-fore you won't end up with one person in the game playing purely to win while the rest of the team just want to try out new strategies).

An additional win reward such as coins gained from betting may encourage more 5man / clan TMM, which may be healty for HoNs' competitive scene.

In my opinion silver coins should only be used while betting so no "real" money is at stake. This could be a fun addition to the game.

I like it Alot! I made a Similar suggestion some months ago but didnt get any comments on it but hope u get many thumbs up.

I like everything with Betting, thats what makes this rating system so good(that u can actually lose something(rating)). More Betting for those who want would make this game even more intresting and serious and Less Whiny etc i think.

but lets think and talk about how this "betting system" should look like and the glitches that may would be with it.

Glitches: Glitch1: 1900 friend logs into 1500 friend and bett Max and get like 2k siilver coins in one game... GG...

To solve this problem maybe u could Minimize the size of the amount you could bett. If there only is like, max bett 25 silver coins to win +20 then that amount is most likely too small that a 1900 friend should logg into his friends acc (only) for that reason...

That sounds like a really interesting idea. I would say Yes. :3

pay outs can be determined by the percent to win. less of a percent more money to win

Yeah i was thinking of taking win rate / KDR into account aswell as your teams predicted chance to win so that smurfs can't abuse the system.

Also only verified accounts can bet and be bet against so that you don't get non-verified accounts feeding coins to the other team.

Like the idea

Yeh, cool idea, but Merrick is the father of all trolls.
Winnin against Merrick, is like playing 1 on 1 with him using blacksmith.
0% change to win.
