Dear developers, please give players the option to specify the desired traits of teammates they want to recruit when creating a lobby
For example, when trying to rank up, I definitely don’t want to see players with an Assignment Rank lower than mine in a lobby. I absolutely don’t want to see console players in it either. On the other hand, I explicitly want to see a Chorus, a Taunt, and two DPS players of different classes
In fact, I installed a mod that lets me preview player gear before joining a lobby, and it’s a total nightmare. No matter where you look, every team has a critical flaw. Either someone has a low Assignment Rank, or they are on console, or there’s no Zealot with Chorus, or there are duplicate characters. Sometimes you get three glass-cannon DPS players, or three low-damage builds (like a Chorus Zealot, a Shield Ogryn, and a Veteran). If we had the ability to literally post a blueprint of our desired team setup for others to see before joining, it would make things so much easier
Yes, yes. You are completely and utterly right. That’s exactly how it is. Unfortunately, I keep my match statistics very sloppily (jumping from one statistics collector mod to another, none of them fully satisfies me). So I can’t say with absolute certainty, but I suspect that I have never won a single Havoc game above level 20 without gold toughness in the team [A long time ago I won one H21 game playing as Ogryn with taunt, and last season I won several H20+ games playing as Arbites. I don’t remember anything about the team compositions, but I suspect that gold toughness was there, if not from Chorus, then from the Veteran’s Voice]. Actually, this season, just today I played three games for the first time where I myself wasn’t the source of golden toughness, and only one — a level 21 game where another player was the source — turned out successful. There was no taunt there, though, but there was a bubble!
