but of course since this is an idea that actually makes sense, Blizzard must ignore it | ||

If I did it I'd make the countdown in-game with a little pop-up box that pauses the game until it's finished. | ||

Countdown timer is a good idea. Spinoff idea for tournament/broadcast play Have a preload option, where once both players are in the room the ref/game creator can preload the game (closes game, no new players can join). Once they hit start game it goes "4 3 (PLAYER ONE FIGHTING) 2 1 (PLAYER TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~~~) GO" and it loads the map instantly a la BW. Basically the game loads in the background and gets paused before start with the lobby overlaid. The lobby fades and it counts down, or the lobby counts down and then fades. Because that's less dead air when casting, which is more $$ for organizers (or they can show stat screens during loading, that is cool too, but this way they can control how long they want to show it for and whatever) | ||
