On occasion, some decent suggestions do show up on these forums, so I figured with Season 9 approaching, I would bring a few of these up again (and plug my own suggestions). Hopefully we can get a dev/admin to reply and explain which of these are plausible and whether they will consider some of them.

1. Display your opponent's health at the end of each fight. This is a relatively simple addition that would make it a lot more convenient to see how you did. External links in Minecraft are not the smoothest thing in the world, so it would be a lot nicer if we could have something integrated into the game along with the opponent's inventory thing.

2. Add a lot of new and more detailed stats on the website. This idea, while obviously it seemed to be mainly qazzy's initiative, got a ton of support on the forums, and it would be really cool to see some of these stats implemented. The stats were, IMO, the coolest thing about Warfare, and I think they would also create some more interest in Badlion's website in general if there were more stats and leaderboards to compete for. Not to mention, a new season is the perfect time to start tracking new stuff like this.

3. Implement some sort of system which voids server-wide ELO loss if enough people DC / a substantial amount of server lag is detected. When I first suggested this, Gberry said a system was being worked on, and I still think that while this isn't as much of a problem anymore, something like this could be beneficial in general. Obviously micro lag spikes and slight server lag wouldn't be enough to void serverwide ELO, but if the server experiences major lag for a substantial period of time, the automated system should kick in. This might be difficult to implement, so it's understandable if you think it's too much effort for a minor thing, or if you don't think you could have a fully functional system implemented by Season 9's release.

4. Put the player's head who is in first in each ladder on top of the leaderboard signs. This is done by many mini game servers because it encourages people to be more competitive and makes people want to play more so that they can have the "fame" of being in first. This would hopefully be a really quick update and I think it would be a cool little thing to encourage people to play more. Another idea is to have the head of whoever is 1st in global ELO somewhere near the center of the Potion PvP lobby, maybe even have a wool "statue" of their head (that may be overdoing it though).

Anyway, thanks for all that you've been doing Badlion, can't wait for Season 9! :)

For num 3 gberry said it could be abused easily.

also I have a tab to my profile so num 1 isn't a problem.

Honestly, most of the things suggested in the OP of qazzy's post.
Also: Long shots, Sword & Bow Accuracy, Rivalries, Damage Dealt vs Recieved, W/L vs different ELO ranges, and Highest ELO achieved all sound cool.

@Ny_

1. +1, this would be amazing

2. There are no other stats that are really needed (if I'm missing something, tell me)

3. Maybe have a command that mods/seniormods can run? Automatic system would be really inaccurate

4. +1 this is a cool idea

2. Will see what I have time to add.

3. Has been a long time planned idea/feature but is not easy to implement.

4. Can look into if we get time.
