Hi there,
Yesterday, while waiting for a game to start, I tought about something that would really help me and I guess most of BT players who play on league bots: An ETA value of when the game you are about to join will start.
I really think this is possible to calculate because there might be a strong corralation between time of day and day of week and the amout of time between a game is hosted and the start of this game. If my assumption is correct, I could implement some estimation in the form of: "with 95% propability, the game will start within the next 7 minutes"
I think this system will greatly enhance game expirience!
But I need some data so I can verify my assumtions about the corralation I mentioned above, so I hereby ask the league admins to provide me with as much data as possible about game host times and corresponding game start times of games in the past, if such data is availible.
Please feel free to ask questions or give further ideas on this topic!
