Tonight i lost 2 noob liga games. Those were all like me play vs 4. I am sure other good players also experienced the same. My teammates were either left or feed the whole game. If this keep happening i will lose the interest to play the liga anymore.
We should take some actions to the leavers and feeders. But i don't think we need to spend time on calculating "X games % rate stay for entry". I think it will just help to have several levels (maybe 3 levels) liga bots. The bottom level bot is free for everyone. The mid level bot is only for top 3000 players, and the highest level is for top 1000 players etc. (the rank of each bot is needed to enter has to be considered carefully, depends on how many players in total we have, i think the database server should have statistics).
If a ppl is leaving too much or not good enough, they cannot join higher level bots for liga. So for the people play in the higher level bots, they can enjoy the game. It also easier to make intern-like pro games in the high level bots. Also, It can help to prevent the Tom-Ace said faking states, because if some friends leaving the game for helping the others to win, at the same time they will lose points. And eventually they will lose the entry to higher level bots.
Another thing, i would suggest to disable "-kick" command completely in liga games. I think for some beginners it is quite disappointing to be kicked by mates in his first try in btank. And, due to the liga bot is trying to balance the teams, what i saw sometimes is like: in the first 10 minutes, both teams kick all noob players. And play like 2v3 or 3v4. If the game is not playing with 5v5, how can the random balancing working properly?
