Party Creation Cooldown​

Detailed description:

Introduction​

The current party system in Bedwars allows players to rapidly create, disband, and re-invite others without any restriction. This can be exploited in multiple ways, leading to an unfair or frustrating experience for players. To address this issue, I propose implementing a 1-minute cooldown when a player leaves or is removed from a party before they can join or create another party.​

Reason(s):

Reasoning Behind the Suggestion​

1. Prevention of Party Abuse
   • Some players repeatedly create and disband parties to dodge specific teammates or opponents, manipulating matchmaking to their advantage.
   • The cooldown would prevent excessive party switching and encourage players to stick with their chosen team instead of cycling through members rapidly.
2. Reduction of Targeting and Teaming Exploits
   • Players often use rapid party switching to coordinate unfair strategies, such as cross-teaming in public matches.
   • By enforcing a cooldown, players won’t be able to immediately rejoin another party to manipulate game outcomes.
3. Better Matchmaking Stability
   • When players leave and rejoin parties too quickly, it disrupts matchmaking by frequently altering the pool of players.
   • A cooldown ensures that players commit to their team, improving queue efficiency and match fairness.
4. Prevention of Accidental Spam
   • Some players unintentionally spam party invites or leave and rejoin due to misclicks or connection issues.
   • A short cooldown would help avoid excessive invites and create a more stable party system.

How the Cooldown Would Work​

• If a player leaves or gets removed from a party, they must wait 1 minute before they can:
  • Create a new party
  • Join another party
  • Accept a party invite
• The cooldown would not apply if a party leader transfers ownership instead of disbanding the party.
