Hey guys
Some players are often looking for the creepkills from himself/allied/opponent...
Just if they wanna look the creepkills, they need to type "-stats, -stats 1, -stats 10" etc etc etc and it's just a waste of time(or to lazy?^^)
So the Creepkills should be displayed on the scoreboard.
What do you think about this idea?
Greets,

I think the scoreboard is already big enough (or even too big). Also more data might just confuse new players.

I've suggested once a command to switch between different boards

Actually it doesn't matter that the scoreboard is big or small. Anyway, the players don't show it permanently, only occasionally...oO

Actually it does matter. I would prefer a small scoreboard which I can show permanently. I really dislike to toggle the scoreboard frequently.
A switch command between different boards (a small basic one and a detailed one) like eSVau mentioned could be quite nice.

It's a matter of taste whether you want it shown permanently or occasionally.
But a switch between different boards it's also nice for me.

I can do that. Just show me a kind of prototype, how you want the other multiboard to look like and I'll look what I can do.

U can't prevent them from being idiot.
I think that adding creep kill board would be interesting, whatever the way 2 board or not.
I am so good that I don't even need to type -rc because I never die !

Could you also do an option to reduce the font size of the multiboard? Or maybe remove the player names, or even just condense space like having k/d/s not neatly aligned but instead spaced by a pipe like
k|d|s
1|2|3

I'd also like a command to switch between at least two multiboards. Normally I have the multiboard closed but I like to take a look when dead or so. It's very informative so please add one that shows creepskills, as it is a very good metric for money income and player skill.

BENNIE.FM is right.
Displaying creep kills on a permanent scoreboard will encourage creeping.
Choosing what stats to display is very important. Adding S for Support/Assist was a very important addition, and has had a positive effect on recognizing team play.

To show you guys, development hasn't completely stopped in the last weeks, I'll show you something I did with the multiboard.
I added a new command which lets you switch between a few different board types. Currently I added two new ones, which look like this:

WOW Really like those!
The first one adds another perspecitve to the game - now all those port-killers will know when someone is low on live and jump around even more. This will probably bring old BUG-Style short range porter gameplay back to every game.
Though, at the moment it's already either longrange-and-win-fast-enough or hold-long-enough-and-then-shortrange-porter-kill-all 90% of the time 
Thank you very much for those boards, can't wait to try them myself! Now I won't need to swap my 24" for a 30" monitor just to be able to play with the scoreboard active all the time

Well, the HP and mana bars are only meant to be visible for your own team. I don't think, that the info for the enemy team should be shown there as well.
As for the monitor size, it wouldn't change anything anyway, since the multiboard takes a fixed percentage of the screen ;)

@1: ah okay that prevents those kind of situations - haven't thought about it in that way
@2: Yeah, forgot that WC3 doesn't natively support different aspect ratios and everything just gets scaled up to 100%. Otherwise I would've been able to use a non native resolution (atm. 1920x1200, with 30" probably 2560x1600) to change the aspect ratio to be wider, and then the score board couldve taken a smaller percentage of the screen while still being large enough to read.
Anyway, thanks!
Best Regards
