So we get to vote on the map and that's great because now I have a say in the map that suits my build. It may not always work out, but at least I can try, Sometimes though, I have brought 2 cool shots in case we end up caustic or therma and we end up with Frozen City let's say, What if we had like 30 seconds or 15 seconds to change those so that they could suit the map? I mean, if I pre-load UAV and arty and then we get therma, I might rather have the cool shot over the arty strike. Thoughts?

That would just make the pre-game take even longer, no thanks.

Build more flexibly instead. Adapt. Overcome.

That's why I suggest a very short time. 15 seconds is nothing. I don't want people to hum and haw about it. You load whatever like normal to your build and then have the option to adjust it. Honestly, it could probably be as few as 7 seconds since there aren't all that many consumables and you're probably only going to want to adjust one of them anyway.

I wish they'd bring in random maps(they used to have them apparently?) for this very reason. I love seeing people who just can not adapt lose their **** when terra therma starts up and then just rage quit because they can't just laser spam non-stop on it. It's dull to know exactly what kind of players you're going to be playing with based on the map choice. Oh, everyone voted for canyon? Why am I not surprised it's two teams of LRM boats!

See, I was around for exactly that. No map had more disconnects than terra therma. Not even caustic or tourmaline, which are as or nearly as hot. that lava has people believing the map plays hotter than it does. that and everyone things they need to go center there. ALL the maps have a center! people dont see that though! anyway, therma was dumb before, youd ALWAYS have one disco and often more than one. now at least people mostly stick around for it.
