I would like to say that the current karma plugin in its current state isnt really doing its job.
What I dont like :
- Everybody can vote ( this is a seperate discussion I know. Let's just say that an experienced player will always have a different opinion compared to a newer player. )
- Players can vote without even having played the map
--> Introducing a new map always results in terrible karma.
--> How can you rate something that you dont know? You cant.
- I bet that more than half of the players doesnt vote at all
- I bet that more than half of the players doesnt even know how to vote ( ++ -- -+ - + ... )
What should be improved ( eventho its a lot of work ) :
+ You have to play the map x-times in order to be able to vote
+ Prompt the player to vote after/before ( but never during ) the game
--> This is possible because Ive seen it in other plugins
+ Try to switch to an actual widget that pops up after/before the match with actual buttons rather than using the chat.
+ Dont show the current karma-score until you voted
--> If a map that you deeply hate has a good score then you will always try to balance this by voting the lowest rating possible = unfair & not the goal of this plugin.
+ Force players to vote
--> Currently some maps don't even have votes or the vote-count is very very low...
+ Once voted dont show the popup anymore
+ After 50 maps ask for a revote
--> Maybe they have a new opinion of the map
After 1 paragon cup with almost 50teams we will have hundreds of votes ( = massive amount of feedback, actual meaningful & useful feedback ). I even think that we would reach a 1000 votes in 1 cup if enough teams wouldnt always play the same maps. It's possible
