-rb

What? No -apem ? :c

[Rectifier]

No, and I'm about 95% sure your joking.

[Dreamcatcher]

Selecting game modes via dialog windows is better than typing... no? Though I didn't see anyone mention it, is there a reason?

[Flameboy]

Well first, host can be afk at game start
Host can be a player different than red
And thats it.

Problem is if you forget and realise too late you gotta re-host

[Fulla]

Well detecting the host is possible & you can simply have a timer, where after 20 seconds standard game modes ares selected.

Even Dota has a timer

-rb could be useful, but I think it's too complicate to achieve. Me again PLANE AND SIMPLE, don't hate me.

The best way to implement this, IMO, would just be the random suhffle at the beginning of the game. Mostly because hero combos, like the ones mentioned, would be rediculously imbalanced.

[Oxygen]

Why not simply allow a player to rebalance himself when the need presents itself ( 6v4, 5v3, 4v2, 3v1... )? I would gladly join a losing team, personally. Because we know the losing team always gets the leavers. For the challenge, you know? I'm sure more people would agree with me here.

If you read the first page thats exactly what this command is about.

And if you read the pages following that you'll know exactly why it can't be done that way.

Too long. But there must be a way to do it fair and square, I mean, 2 leavers in 15 minutes is SO annoying, because you don't feel like restarting the whole thing, and yet you don't feel like playing anymore.

The only non-gay way to do it for the player is to let them keep their hero, the only non-gay way to do it for the game is to make them change heroes, and there isn't a non-gay way to make them change their heroes.

Mmm... wouldn't allowing a player to keep his hero AND switch create some uber synergy? I'd see that as a reward for trying to keep the game fun

[Rising_Dusk]

We've already discussed that it would allow for gay and imbalanced interaction, people would just set themselves on opposing teams and rebalance themselves to abuse such interactions as the game became uneven.

[Flameboy]

But for that they would need leavers.
And other people can always do -rm
