[suggestion] matchmaking notification

Post by Alexey85 »

When I go to a low populated matchmaking server (e. g. combo), press ready, go spec, minimize the window and browse my internets because waiting players, then please make the taskbar MP button to blink whenever I get in a match. Currenly I have to keep MP window visible and keep an eye on it which is annoying. Plus this will allow for more people to wait longer in lobbies - more matches played - profit.

Or you could do better and make a MP tray icon with notifications of different types. One for buddy messages, one for matches in matchmaking. Put a tip about this, so players know they don't have to watch the MP window all the time, they can minimze it and get their notification when they get a match - again they would be more motivated to wait for a match while doing other stuff at computer instead of leaving lobby.

Or even better - allow to play other modes while in matchmaking. Like playing Royal while waiting for Combo in matchmaking and place to the match in Combo if it is found.

Awesome suggestion :)
It already blinks when you get a friend-message, so it should be possible.
The neverending waiting game has to stop.

It could be a sound too ;)

On League Of Legends, The window of the game appears automatically and a sound is played when a match is found

Sounds great. I found now that in SC2 too the window appears from minimized when a match is started (no sound though). Good feature.
