This new overlay makes me wet my pants

from Demigod Forums

Here I was quitting DG, then this gem comes out!

It's so easy to spot the rage quitters and premades now.  I wonder how the premades are handling this with no one joining their games?  

It's so easy now to tell who will rage quit.  When someone has higher than 60% win rate, just look at Pantheon stats for the games lost as well.

 

In this instance, Scout2000 was on the other team with an 82% win rate! His Player stats in the overlay said 93% completion rate of 348 games started.  Pantheon website said he lost 49 games.

348 / 49 = 7

7 - 100 = 93% Completion rate

 

So I predicted to my teammates at the start of the game, that if it looks like they will lose, he will RQ.  Sure enough later on "A Player has left the game"

GOGO overlay!  Best addition to the game, and now it just needs a "Game Lost" with a percentage highlighted above and I'm good!

I'm not avoiding those games I'm just making sure that teams look balanced in the lobby before launch (and leaving those lobbies that refuse to do so).  So let's not villify The Premades and focus instead on those interested in an easy steamroll.  You see that same type of person on pugs as well as premades.  The nice thing about the stat overlay is that with a little in-lobby communication the situation is crystal clear to everyone.

I, too, would like to see something indicating % disconnects (be it "% disconnect" or a "% lost" and me doing the math) in the overlay without having to click [Info].  Mainly because the two stats I see of value are Number of Games and Disconnects.  It's nice that I can see who's familair with who if I need to but, mostly, I"m more interested to know that you have some experience (amount varies depending on everyone else in the lobby) and that you don't rage quit.

 

Since the overlay games are taking a little longer to start but, overall, are much more fun once they get going.  I hope some of the initial delay is "the community" reacting to the new meta environment and realzing that you might have to step your game up a notch B)

I really enjoy the overlays. As a previous premade only player (my team moved on to LoL) I can judge other premade's skills and confidently figure out with my PUG team will stand a chance.

It's also great to be able to tell which players have never played or just starting out and trying to join a "good players only" game.

I just enjoy knowing before hand which players to 'coach'. I mean, a guy with 7 games can use some advice, for sure.
