Ability to choose RT partner faction

Basically USF are terrible. As a soviet player, if I get a USF player I either carry super hard, or play a very bad losing game. This is not fun, at all, which makes me think we should be able to choose the faction of our RT partner. I don't think it would be a hard feature to implement, and aside from me hating players with USF, it would be nice to make sure you end up with the faction that compliments your strategy/play style.

Permanently BannedI remember playing a 4v4 with RT once as USF, just for the hell of it. And upon entering the match, my russian teammate said something along the lines of "thanks to relic, I don't play with USF" and just dropped from the game.
It was probably you.

USF isn't a "push" faction late game, but they can be great supporting, use your IS-2 too screen for their Jacksons and watch Axis tanks explode. One of the biggest problems for any random teammate game is lack of communication, do you ever actually chat with your teammates? Or is spamming attack here button the extent of your teamwork?

Dude, USF is bad. This is not a L2P issue, this is me not wanting to have to babysit my ally.

USF aren't bad as support for a soviet player with ISU. If they pick Infantry for Priests or Airborne for P47s, and use their tanks EXTREMELY defensively because they can't push shit. But arguably soviets are just far better suited for teamgames.
With P47, USF is arguably stronger than soviets are at anti-tank. But their anti-infantry in a teamgame setting is severely lacking, so they really need a soviet player to cover that side with snipers and/or ISUs.

Alright, ill play along, let's say you have a good USF support. It happens, sometimes I get an excellent USF player in RT. Hell, when I first met my AT partner, that's what he was playing.
Now take that player, and put him on soviets.
Suddenly, you don't need a designated "support" player, rather you have two players fighting side by side in combat and have a much better game experience.
Regardless as to you wanting a designated support or not, the option to choose is always appreciated.
And if anyone is wondering, my AT partner started playing Soviets and has not gone back to USF since.

US with soviets is actually pretty nice IMO. You get a solid stock infantry unit that scales into late game and heavy tanks at the same time as an allied team - not bad.
On the other hand, at least in my experience, playing double US is just awful at the moment, whereas when you have a soviet ally in a 2v2, the game is still fun.
So it'd be nice to have some influence over who your random team allies are.
I doubt it would happen, though. Automatch is already strained by the axis-allies imbalance, so putting additional stress on it probably isn't a good idea.

I surely would be glad if I'm mated with Romeo in a game.
Op you probably just had bad luck with team mates yet. Good players are always valuable - indifferent from any faction choice.

What would happen if Romeo also played SU
My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

USF is not bad, it's just that people dont know how to play them. When you play USF you have to get the right build/tech order with the right commander.
If you are coming with the mentality of 1 super unit winning the game like ISU, Tiger, sniper spam, etc the USF are not for you. That's how many people think, they want to micro one strong unit over managing a number of units.

From the word of the 2v2 champion, USF sucks.
