#Battleboard show off

I was thinking that battle board skins traditionally have been implemented in 2 ways;

  1. only you see it
  2. the skin is split half/half for you and you opponent

I think we can do better than option 1 and 2.

For example:

If battle boards got assigned points according to rarity (for example) you could implement that the battle board with the highest highest points, will be shown to both players. That way battle boards will become more attractive and an even bigger flex (hopefully = more money in skin sale)

There is for sure no Split, that would look horrible.
Afaik it is shared for now, but can't remember right.
It's either changing between the rounds or it choose one before round 1 starts.

  1. Don't like this. I think it must be viewable by all parties.
  2. Also not keen on this idea.

I think one skin should be shown in all of it's glory to all particpants.

How about it being tied to player rank or something of that nature
If you rank higher than your opponent, your skin is displayed.
You could select which skin you would like to display in your account settings. This way, the skin doesn't necessarily have to be the rearest skin you own, rather the one of your choosing.

Another suggestion would be simply to coin flip it, winner gets the skin display.

#

I think having it tied to a ranking system would be more beneficial as it would incentivise pushing your rank to have the opportunity to flex your skins more.

or, on the first match to play : rock paper scissors

Isn't it better to alternate boards across rounds? Or after legendary augment bidding?

to see the PVP to make an idea, we can make like TFT if we have rounds

Rank level would make sense.

Then it's like the lower rank is challenging the higher rank on HIS turf 😂

How I see it is it would follow a certain flow.

Has custom battleboard > basic battleboard

Both have custom battleboard:
Rank level higher > lower (ex. Gold vs silver, gold custom battleboard shows)

Same/similar rank:
50/50 coin flip.

I personally do not like the idea of rank being the determining factor.

The idea was born of a desire to create more incentive to buy battle board / more desirability.

Everyone wants to get as high rank as possible. That doesn’t need more incentive.

I would love a mechanism that made people ape out on battle boards cause they wanted to show dominance over the other player

Most people will be playing against others of the same rank anyways.
It's more important in the "legend" rank where higher rank should get home field battleboard

This should help to keep it fairly balanced, as you should be up against higher elo ranking players, just as often as you are up against lower ranking players within a specific elo range.
In essence everyone will have the opportunity to use thier skins regularly, regardless of what tier/elo you are at, noob or expert.

will be a 50/50 coin flip

mixed battleboard = ugly

It wasn’t a speculation on what it will be though. I wanted to increase desirability of the battle boards through some kind of mechanism that currently do not exist today

we could start with the battleboard of the highest Elo inside the singularity bubble. As the other player wins the game and the rounds, the stability bubble shrinks more and more on the field by making their battleboard skin appear outside.

I actually quite like the mixed 50/50 split 🙈 😅
I really didn't expect to.

#

1 would be preferable though.

One way to implement it would be through challenges. If I challenge someone we fight on his board, but if someone challenges me we fight on my board.

Whoever wins the round gets to play on their battle board next. The first battle happens on a coin flip to decide who’s board is played. Easy solution

I remember a discussion way back when. Gwent team went with split boards and it was too much effort to make every board to be made to look good with any other board. It just didn't look good. And they deprecated the idea. The solution on their part was. Whoever wins the coin toss goes first in the game, but whoever loses is "defending" so you play on their board. Like a home field advantage.

TL;DR: If making split boards takes too much effort a lore solution can be created to determine which board to display.

@rare perch So my idea is this. Game start. Players flip a coin to see who displays battle board first game. You win the coin toss so first match it’s your battle board. Then it’s king of the hill from there on. If you win match 1 it’s your battle board match 2. If you lose, you have to play on your opponents field. Problem solved.

@rare perch no prob bro. I think this makes things more competitive as well. If you’re the best at the game every match will be on your field (with exception of first match which is decided randomly). If you’re never seeing your battle board while playing PVP it’s time to go back to survival mode and rethink your strategy.

Again. This wasn’t meant as a thread on what everyone else does or how we think team should implement whoever’s battle board is shown.

The specific Idea revolved around having the battle boards themselves deciding which battle board was shown, to make the top battle boards more desirable. Specific implementation of that idea is up for debate in this thread.

Stay on topic guys and gals! 🙃
