Not sure if anyone is going to read this but I got 2 feet of snow outside and nothing else to do so I thought I'd post it.

It would be great if we were given some description as to what our teammates are bringing to the fight during lobby. It's very annoying when someone grabs company command and assumes that everyone charging is a good idea without realizing most players are spec'd for long-range and not charge builds.

Even something primitive would be great like an adjustable icon that allows players to describe the role of their mechs next to their names like: brawler, support, scout, sniper, etc. When I think about it people actually do this already at lobby announcing they're running NARC etc. so it's definitely a feature that would be used often.

I've never developed games so I am not going too in-depth on how to do this as I think the developers already have better ideas to execute this already. Anyway, I think being able to identify early what your teammates are bringing to the table will ultimately lead to better strategies and thus a better player experience for the community - hopefully people agree.
