Ingame Economy Tracker

[tired mason]

Both in Dota Underlords and TFT, players can see other players’ economy. In TFT, you can see their current income—how many multiples of 10 gold they have—while in Underlords, I believe it was the exact total economy including board units and everything.

We’re still missing that feature. I think it would help beginners by giving them more important information to base decisions on, while also adding more room for skill expression in pro play.

It would also tremendously improve the spectator experience and esports live commentary, since casters and viewers would know exactly what players are working with.

I’d like to hear what the community thinks about this. Do you agree? And if so, what do you think is the best way to implement it?

[balmy rain]

Agreed! No harm in adding this, and it'll be fantastic for Esports / spectator side of things, as well as being useful info for all levels of player!

As we try and find ways to bridge that gap for new players who feel overwhelmed, this is a great small addition that could go a long way in helping people who feel like everything is weighed against them if they face more veteran players

Yeah, I agree with Paz. I can’t think of any downsides to implementing this. It would improve official streams, help new players, and also raise the skill level in tournaments, because knowing how much gold your opponents have really changes the way you play, roll, and level up.

This is 100% required @south cove

The ideal outcome is the same as tft with the UI treatment on the side.

But a shorter term outcome (that is perfect for spectator mode) is to just show the shop/currency UI, the same thing the player sees.

i literally dont spectate players because it'd be impossible for me to learn from their gameplay as it stands.

[south cove]

Yes, I agree with you guys. We are aware of its importance and benefits and we have it on the To Do list. We'll take care of it.

I just checked a TFT stream but didn't see the gold of the opponent even when the streamer was scouting

Do you mean that we can see their econ with spectator mode?

money indicator.
each thingy is 10g so left has 50+G, while the right one is below 10G

I almost went up to diamond in TFT before Illuvium's launch interrupted my climb and I didn't even know that 😂

It's a nice way to show your income I like the idea

In their live tournament coverage, TFT even features a detailed overlay showing each player’s exact gold, exact win streak, and more.
