[Request/Suggestion] Auto-tagging, Sorting filtered matches, etc

[archorn1]

Hi. New to your app but so far I like it. My main goal with using this app is managing my own replay files and more easily find those replays that contain cool and weird moments, multi-kills and comebacks. (got ~3700 that can be loaded by the app and a couple more (~1600) that are too old)

Have thought of some features I wish the app had.
(if these things already exist and i failed to find them I'm sorry about that)

1. Some kind of auto-tagger that you can configure to give a tag depending on for example a players/teams stats
   (ex. if i want to tag all games I played as Li-Ming and got 10 kills or more with the tag "li-ming 10+" i can set it to look through all replays (all database or all in collection) and tag those replays that fulfill the criteria (player, hero, kills))

Best would be if you can set up multiple tags and their conditions so that the auto-tagger checks the conditions for all tags at the same time.

Suggestions for conditions:
(numerical conditions should probably either have a <,>,= modifier option or be >= "greater than or equal to" for all numbers except death numbers (and maybe game time))

Game length/time
Map
Mode
Patch
Season
Player ID
Hero
Player/Hero Stats*
-Take downs, kills, assists, deaths
-Damage/Healing/exp amounts
-The "hidden" stats you can read under detailed stats
Hero Skin used
Taunt/dance/spray/voice line resulting in TD/Death**

Talent taken could also be an option but I'm guessing it would be extra annoying to set up due to frequent reworks to several heroes with moved/renamed/new/deleted talents

*(If a specific player isn't selected but a specific hero is then the suggested conditions could either be used against all matches anyone played that hero or not at all)

**(if a specific player isn't selected these conditions could be used to check all players in each match (good way to quickly find those few times taunts etc. actually worked/backfired))

2. A way to sort filtered matches in a way other than newest to oldest, based on take downs (total or by one team/side), game time and/or the other information you can see without opening a specific match.

3. Some way to find specific matches from the Player details. Or alternatively a way to quickly filter the matches based on the player details.
   Here I would mainly be interested in a way to find the matches that contain solo kills/deaths (from the "summary" page) and a way to find the matches that gives the maximum values for the "Detailed Hero Stats Table" page

4. If possible it would be nice to see stats for team wipes in the match details and player statistics.
   (if hero respawns isn't counted as an event that the app easily can find/read this is probably too much of a pain to implement)

For match details it should probably be in summary containing details such as amount of wipes, time they occur and how long the wiped team had no hero.
It would also be interesting if you could see how long a hero is dead as well as who got the killing blow when you hover the mouse over a take down in the timeline.

For player statistics it would be interesting to see how may times the players own team got wiped as well as how many times the teams opposing of the player got wiped.

This is what i have thought of so far. Right now my main hope/request/wish among these ideas is an auto-tagger that can at least check a few conditions (Kills, Assists, Deaths)
As i said before, if some of this is already possible sorry i missed it (and please point me in the right direction if so).

thanks for the feedback! I really like most of the suggestions here, and will break them out into separate issues to track their progress. I can't promise a quick turnaround on all of these issues (there are quite a few things in the backlog that need to get cleared out), but I'll see what I can do!

Couple notes re: each part:

1. I actually was recently thinking about creating a querying system to locate specific events in a subset of matches. I intended this to automatically locate multi-kills in replays to create highlight reels, but I should be able to generalize it. Auto-tagging will probably be just saving the query itself (you'll be able to slot it in to any filter widget and it will always be up to date). This will require a substantial amount of time.
2. Sort should be relatively easy to implement
3. This I think will be related to the advanced query system described in 1. You'll just have to specify the player in the query itself.
4. Team wipes are difficult. Player spawn events are captured in the replay I think (there should be a unit spawn event, will have to check), however I don't currently look at this. I would have to update the replay parser to enable this, but it is in theory doable.

quick lil update on the things listed here. The backlog has been mostly clear for a while.
"Advanced search" is on the list of things to do, however I'm going to prioritize getting some new stats into the app before devoting too much time to developing the front end for that system (details about how match and player-specific data is stored have made the task slightly more complicated than anticipated). Sorting will also come after I do a parser update, and get those changes settled.

I've been linking issues to this one for those interested in tracking the implementation progress of all of this. Edit: and the current next feature in line is visible on the App Project board.
