Arena Suggestion - Over all not game specific

[VanHlebar]

Currently in order to be able to play any games in Arena mode you must have experience of I think 100 or more. I am guessing the reason for this is to keep the Arena mode from being flooded with people who don't really know the games or joining and then not finishing.

The issue for me is that I love some games but I am just still not very good at them. I would love to play Arena modes in these games but because I can't seem to win enough I can't get my exp up high enough to join them.

How about setting an additional parameter to join Arena games based on the following:
- Exp > 100
- Number of games played (pick a number reasonable to ensure the player knows the game) AND maybe even put in a reputation component say > 75% or even 85%.

This would allow those players that know and enjoy the game, play it often and have a good response rate to still enjoy the Arena Mode even if they can't score well in those games.

Just a thought from one who would love to play more arena games if he could.

Good idea

When you're below 100 ELO, you currently can't lose ELO. But if you lose, you get 0 (except for getting 1 after your first game). Setting a minimum ELO boost just for playing a game would solve the issue. Get 1 for your first loss so people can still easily see if a player is playing for only the second time. But then minimum +10 ELO per game win or lose up until clearing 100 ELO. Then a player is Arena eligible after 10 games, win or lose. Seems reasonable - after 10 games everyone should know the rules well enough to play Arena games.

You should write something up in the Suggestions area of the board and post a link here for people to thumbs-up.
