[Sugestion] Player Start Choices

[igornvidal]

Hi. I have a suggestion for tournament play (a new game feature itself), so i thought it would be cool to post it here. In case its wrong, feel free to move it to Feedback and Suggestions. Anyways...

I'd like to see the option to choose whoever starts a game in Custom Games. Since thats the way people play tournaments, it seems fairly reasonable to me to implement something like this.

The actual options for the host in this case would be (when asked 'who will start the game?'):
1) Player 1 (the host)
2) Player 2
3) Random

As the game begins, a message pops-up (like that from the in-game chat) certifying the method chosen, like "Player 1 Starts" or "Random Player Starts", so that both playes know when it was random and when it wasn't.

That's pretty much it. I appreciate your thoughts on it.

Would find it a better idea if it was also checkable during match in case I didn't pay attention in the first few second due to wishing my opponent good luck.

i told many of u this story. My record was restarting a game 23 times for custom game for a tourney just to determine the right person to start first. Nightmare.

The next longest streak for me was 16.

I got to 13 once. That's my record. Not even close to yours!

You'd be interested to know Raph, that the odds of getting the wrong starter 23 times in a row is about 1 in 8 million. To be precise, 1 / 2^23, or 1 / 8,388,608.

In short, you're the unluckiest bastard ever.

Salivanth, that would only be the case if it were truly random.....

My own streak is 7. Anyway, since they are custom games, we should be able to customize whoever starts playing.
