Commander nomination in Battle

[Micah]

How about giving a team the option to nominate a Commander ? - for example vote for a commander in scoreboard screen or in Q- Menu ?
Players could apply for commander in first 30 seconds .
Elected Commander would then have a distinct color in Team chat and in voice command display and possibly other options available .

There is also a new idea now

Didnt you suggest that already in an other topic you just closed?

[Micah]

yes that toppic was clumbsy and to big .. i figured that most of the stuff i wrote was crap and not really hitting the right spot

[Haboe]

All right

Nice idea, but will take loads of voting each round

not really , i reconsidered that it would be much better to make it optional for a team .. imagine like a kick poll ;)

[Haboe]

Players already rage when someone polls xD Its annoying in your screen.

Maybe a check box next to the names on the scoreboard to vote?

[Micah]

that very good if they rage because it prevents people from spamming commander polls . also it should be treated like kick/ban poll abuse , the only situation where its needed, is if team decides collectively that they need a commander.

[Micah]

like 1 for: yes, we need a commander => chose a commander; 2 for : no stfu we need no commander

Extra polling makes players rage, the type 1 or 2 in chat whether or not you want a commander will make spam in chat.

The fact that a lot will not like the extra polling doesnt stop the few that do want it from spamming the poll

You need something less "flashy" to nominate a commander


+ how does a poll give the option to pick a commander among 60 players in a team?

the poll should be initiated after there is already a broad agreement that its needed before.

those will face team rage and possibly admin abooze ;P

would be nice to have something less flashy .. maybe your idea to have that in score screen is really good =D

i was thinking of a extra popup with a team player list after pressing 1

Instead of making the whole team poll something they dont want to a person who would like to be commander could apply for it, lets say in the first 30 seconds (random number taken), after these 30 seconds one of the persons who applied is picked by chance.
Advantage would be that people who dont care dont have to press 1 or 2 or anything else and that everybody who applies gets a chance to be commander.

Disadvantage would be that good commanders cant be commander all the time when other people apply for it.

very well  sir

if they are good commanders they are more likely to get elected ..

If the commander gets picked by chance you will have the problem of a randomer chatting in colour xD

and if that happens kick polls are back in town for commander aboozing

EDIT: just another idea about the election by chance: I'm thinking of QMD and QML, this could probably also be done for commanders. That means, if a commander is good people CAN vote for him or if he sucks people can QMD him. This would increase/decrease chances for getting commander over time.

i changed topic and OP accordingly to the discussion, tell me if you are alright with that ?
