Topic: Andro Vote: Draft Count

You guys voted for drafts in Andro and 7-player fams.  Now it's time to determine how many spots should be draftable.

Please note that an initial player randoming in can be the "anchor" for the family's drafts without taking up a spot for themselves.  For example, if a family has 2 draft spots that means technically a group of 3 can team up together.

Re: Andro Vote: Draft Count

1 draft in a 7 player fam makes no sense to me at all.

I'd like to see at least 3 or 4.

Make it 4 drafts, and 3 randoms for a 7 player fam smile


EDIT:
I'd like to add to the player size discussion (has to be here, other thread is already closed): the topic had 19 votes. That means that with the result, 7 player fams), all voters together wouldn't even fill 3 fams. I think we should have progressive fam sizes. Start with 5 man families, if that fills up, add two spots to each family or so.

This vote will be extended for 24 hours given the recent drafting update.

If you've already voted, you can change your vote.

Thanks.

Re: Andro Vote: Draft Count

Based on size 7 fams I expect 7 or 8 fams total. With around 20 very active and competive players I would say 2 or 3 drafts max. Everything above that will result in inactive fams.

That is, assuming that more drafts will result in less equal distribution of the 'active' players.
I think the very active players only play in active fams. So less drafts spots will not impact the number of active families. The only thing that will increase the number of active fams, is making them smaller.

3 draft spots in 5 man fams. If those are all filled up, add one or two random, non draft slots.

^^ that should work.

Re: Andro Vote: Draft Count

Unfortunately adding spots as we go is a little trickier than having a set start.  The new join flow will solve this, but it isn't ready yet.

In the meantime, we'll start with 7 spots for 7 fams, and worst case scenario we can push the start date if it doesn't fill up in time.  We'd have that problem with adding 7 spots at a time anyway though.

Gonna close this one out as this vote has wrapped up, but feel free to continue Andro setup discussion here.
