Limit Dup player choices | Forums

yo... negativity is not going to help fix the problem, and we tried FYI....

We've been seeing the community feedback, and even a few videos, on Centurion squads in 4v4 modes being a rather large problem, so we'd definitely like to hear more players' thoughts on a change like this.

Well limiting classes or buffing revenge so centrion and Naruto cant just punch/kicked you into stunlock would help. Otherwise its no reason to play this game since the meta seems to be shifting to spamlock gank squads

UbiJurassic, thank you for listening, and for everyone else reading, this isn't a salty "Get Gud" QQ post. Legitimately causes people to quit and games error, no finished games no exp/gear/progress/FUN..... Be logical and respectful here, please.

If it were a mode without gearscore, yes, all fine with it and if the game modes currently there are still there untouched, but we don't all have time to get to rep 5 with four characters, not everyone even likes four characters, there are people here who claim to only do one faction of characters, I have seen one person who says he only plays one character, you screw over people who fall into two out of three of those situations with no dups. Siege was mentioned but in siege you don't get benefits for levelling up, Mute is Mute every game, no more or less.

At the very least limit it to 2 of the same class.

Im more for a classe limitation over the revenge option

With the already low player base (rip MILLIONS of viewers) choosing your character before will result in matchmaking taking ages to find 8 players with a different hero...not gonna work for now. Since the release of s2 i never had to deal with centurion/shinobi squads and i feel for everybody who suffered from this. Personally i don't really enjoy playing 4v4s, i q for them only to get enough rep for a better looking armor.

Someone the other day wanted to go a step further and have bans also and both of those together really would screw me over. The only characters I am decent enough with to do pvp with are peacekeeper, warden, berserker, shinobi. So let's say both teams get to vote on a ban, I would bet four times in five I lose peacekeeper, that's the only one I have in anything but grey gear so whatever happens I am at a disadvantage.

Ok, so peacekeeper out, I go for the warden but someone was already on there, is their main, he gets it, shinobi goes because I was going for warden and someone else has already taken berserker. Suddenly I don't have a character. Warden I intend to practice with but right now my gameplay is far below the other three, so even without the ban, I am very quickly in a situation where again I could be left without a character that I am competitive with.

Maybe a strict form of ranked mode, if there is one with restrictions and one without, or an extra dominion mode with no dup rules, but if you do it all across the board on the current games without giving the choice, I would bet there are people worse off than me.

I am not saying this as someone who wants to be in a premade with four of one character, I am saying it as someone who wants to either play the character I feel like or level the one I am currently set on levelling. Hey maybe one day I will learn raider or learn to get better at valkyrie or nobushi or pick up centurion to add to my options and maybe in a couple years I could have them all in whatever the top gear is then but I do not feel that I should be forced to to be able to play a character I am good with in a decent set of gear.

I'd say a few changes in regards to this:

• Make players choose their hero before matchmaking.
• No changing heroes after each round (maybe only between your pre-sets for said chosen hero).
• If you wish to play as another hero you will have to drop out of the match.

The Rainbow 6 road, although decent, would screw players greatly bacause of the levels/ gearscore (and cosmetics).

Having a rep10 Nob, but non other hero above rep1 means me not being able to play Nobushi ends up a great decrease in my performance.

They would have to get away with the whole gearscore concept because it would greatly gimp players who cant play their main.
Keeping aside the balance issues with a melee based game compared to a shooter.

If you choose before the match who you wish to play leaser used hero's will find more matches, and the OP FOTM will have quite some loading time.

it may take ages to find a game right now if we do that i agree . That will also make people stay after the game if win or lost ( at least i hope )
