Buff Coin Rate (depending on the situation)

We all know it’s a pain to deal with afk teammates or teammates who leave mid-match. While CTF does provide a Team Leaver Gold Split, it usually isn’t enough for longer games, especially if the team member count drops significantly very early on in the match (getting maybe 5 extra gold at the start isn’t nearly good enough of a compensation). So, here’s the idea:

  • For every member that leaves mid-match, buff the rate at which the player receives gold over time by x1.1, going all the way to x1.5 (as there are 6 members per team).
  • If at any point either team has a +3 member advantage, all members on the opposing team will receive an extra +200 gold. This mechanic would only trigger once per match for balancing purposes.
  • Unrelated, but if after 10 minutes neither team has scored a single point, a “Sudden Death” mode could trigger. where the first team to score automatically wins the match, with the trade-off that all flags picked up from this point onwards are always cursed on either side.

Welcome to the forums @notsoBlue1101. Yes, in som situations this would make sense, but for me it’s unnecessary… not a lot of players leave right at the beginning, mostly in the middle of the game. By then, they have enough gold to give you a good boost. Also it’s just confusing for me, but this is a pretty good idea! Keep doing the good work!
