    alright most people who are on a video game forums will know what the overwatch selection system is like.
    In the beginning of the round you have a short period of time to select your class.
    You already know the map.
    I think this would benefit this game by allowing the teams to be more versitile
    Now ok IK this would be difficult to implement but I think this game needs help to stay alive
    here are a few things that would be a must

    1 you must be able to see the map
    2 you must be able to see what ships your ally's are choosing
    3 you only have 30 seconds to chose your ship
    4 there would have to be someway to create preset loadouts for your ship so you don't manually have to switch all the weapons.

    Let me know what y'all think

    No because you would have 1 preset configuration per ship So your items wouldn't change based on the map just ship choice

    some people actually focus on specific ships and weapons and don't have so much to choose between sets
    don't you think that this mod would benefit too much "rich" players?
    also, i personally like to challenge myself in maps that don't second my equipment
    i think that's a plus on strategy

    You make good points but problems like this occur
    2 fixers against a team with none that is not fair so if we could chose our ship based on what our team is choosing it would be more fair

    so how do you plan on coordinate this kind of choice in such a small amount of time?
    think of 10 people deciding in the same time.
    and how do you suppose to be sure that player X is a shooter, if in 30 seconds he can choose another ship?
    I think it would be a mess and a total loss of time
    shouldn't this kind of problems be fixed by the selection process instead of a overcomplicated 30 seconds process?

    i understand your concerns, but I think you have to factor in the balances - also the time balances that this game has
    i have the same thought whenever i'm sent to a map not suited to my equipment
    and i think oohhhhhhh wouldn't be wonderful if I could switch to another set of weapons?
    but you have to amplify this to 10x.. in a game when it's even a struggle to coordinate with your own teammates during the battle!
