If ELO formula is compatible, or can be made compatible while remaining mostly balanced with the usual 5v5 ELO system, would it be possible and not a problem to add something like that :
- When 8 players eligible are in the lobby, a command becomes avalaible : !4v4. Another command becomes valaible then : !yes and !no. If a certain number says !yes (let's say 6/8), then 10 secs later the countdown is triggered and the game starts.
4v4 doesn't denature too much the game. 3v3 and lower is something else, but with a low pool of player some compromises may have to be made.
To add some previsibility to the ranked schedule without sacrificing too much freedom and spontaneity, the bot could open only in the first 10 mins of every half an hour, and remain opened after those 10 mins only if we have a 8/10 or if a game ended in the 2 last minutes. An announce of the schedule and the current status of the ranked bot could also be spammed every 30 secs or minute into the qualify lobby, with extra informations like average ELO of players present in the ranked lobby, or/and min-max ELO present. Why not player names even ?
Then combine both systems
