i have an idea

roles..

so you could for example set yourself as air role.. or eco role.. or frontline role.. in the comander setup page

when games balance they try to distribute roles on both teams evenly

i know that in theory all players should adapt to all roles.. and they still can.. the roles dont force them not to..

i was thinking this because many times in team games almost the whole team is avoiding the frontline while the other team is pushing the frontline .. and i noticed its often due to some players being frontline pushers and they all ended up on one team.. or sometimes one team will have 2 air players and the other none

players names could get a small icon that indicates there prefered role

idk.. what are your thoughts

My first thought is that it's in my best interest to claim to prefer an eco role but almost always go frontline anyway. This causes the team balancer to give me games where my team has the very frontline superiority the system's trying to avoid.

My second thought is that the whole system breaks down when enough players stop treating it as "what do I want to do more of" and instead treat it as "what do I want my teammates to do less of?"

as you probably know, bar has this already and it works fine. but zero k is not a game where you are a set role all game for the most part, as people can switch from air, switch back, etc. bar also has a very established team size which allows for this, but in zero k taw there is waaay more variation in team sizes which would make it very difficult to do.
