Thread of general comments/ideas for Pred

[acoustic frost]

**Hi Pred team ! **

I wanted to share some ideas/comments on the game because I truly love this game and want it to succeed. I know that you said that it is better to expose one point per post, but since I have 10 points that are more or less linked and I have already write this whole message, please bear with me. I want the game to be more enjoyable and feel more like a finished game, I'm not saying that everything I wrote is right but these are the points I have identified by playing the game and comparing it with all of the games I've spent time throughout my life :
(Sorry if some phrases are poorly written, English is not my native language)

1. Stats display in the menu
I think it is quite important to add the stats on the main menu of the game. For a game with a competitive scene that aims to be a really important part of the game, stats are kinda of the base, it is a bit painful to have to go to https://omeda.city to check for your stats and rankings.

2. Search of game process
I think it would be better to change the searching of games. It would be better to get ready before searching for a game, as it is a pain when you find a match and someone just does not click on ready and you just go back to searching for game. If people got ready before searching a game, this would lift some frustration. Maybe you did this system because of high ranking players that can take several minutes to get a match. But I may have a solution for this in the next point.

3. Waiting/Playground Mode
You have to add some kind of "waiting mode" while searching for a game. This would be a really simple mode, no hero picking, you spawn with the last hero you play, you can obviously change your hero quickly. You have infinite gold and you're already max level. Just like your current training mode, you have one lane, you could add little pads that allow you to spawn a wave of minions, spawn some objectives, spawn an enemy hero or get a buff. If you are queuing with friends, just bring them in this mode too. Friendly fire should be enabled by default as you and your friends are separated in 2 teams. You an change your hero and items even if you are out of your base. If you have your hero, keep your items, but add a clear button. You can even let this as a real mode, I think people will really like it.

4. Rank mode availability / placement system

Let the rank mode 24/24 and 7/7, I don't really see the point of it being like 60~70% of the time. Maybe it is to bring more people on the unranked matches, but you get a game really quickly in unranked. And with my 3rd point, the highest ranking players will not have any problem waiting. I think the elo system for rank is not bad, but can be upgraded. Maybe, if you add some kind of placement matches, people would be at the rank of their level.

5. In-game UI improvments

Let's talk a bit about UI in game. In the loading screen and even in the main menu. Ranks should be visually more precise. In each rank you have 3 divisions, but you can't tell if someone is gold 1 or gold 3 which could be a huge gap. Next, in the in-game scoreboard you should add the roles of the players. It is nice that it is on the loading screen but often, you don't really stay that long in the loadings (except when there is a bug), so information should be accessible directly in the scoreboard, adding the rank in the scoreboard would be nice too. Also, I know that the Ultimates are shown by a little circle on the UI, but honestly it is not visible enough and most of people don't know about it.

6. Original heroes character design

A huge point, the character design. Your original heroes are quite fun to play, but their design is, a bit too basic, it doesn't help to attract new players and for trailers basic heroes just don't hype people. Try new things out, some animals, aliens, or mythical beasts would be really nice !

7. Objectives explanation tab

Add a tab that gives information about the objectives. Lot of people don't really understand the objectives, even I don't really know what buffs the Prime really gives precisely. You can add these little information in the tutorial to help the new players understand the importance of the objectives and when and how to go for them.

8. News tab improvements

Add some kind of news tab to the main menu. I know a little tab is on the main menu, but it makes you "quit" the game and you can't get the main changes with a look. This will help the players that are not following all of your socials to have some updates.

9. Max party size for queing for ranked matches

Increase the number of players that can queue together for a ranked game to 3, 4 or even 5. I understand that you want the game to be fair. But the purpose of an online game is that you can play with your friends, getting to play seriously with your friends will get more persons to take the game seriously and they will talk more about the game which will bring more people.

10. Display of far-distance heroes

You need to change the way teammates and enemies are displayed while being far. When I'm on the left or right lane and look for heroes that are mid or on the other way of the map. I never know if they are mid or on the other side of the map. I think you have to change something like the scaling of the names/hitboxes.

That's it, it is quite long, but I hope this post will be helpful. Keep up the good work, I genuinely enjoy the game and if this thread can help a little I would be really glad !
