OK had a think come up with a new system that makes the best out of the live patch. (Definitely interested in mods in the future but only comprehensive approaches that the community is behind)
Commander Veto System
Every player selected must veto three commanders of the opposing faction that they do not wish to play against.
These commanders cannot be played against this player.
Note: if in a same-faction-wins-semis scenario, in the bo3 final the player vetoing cannot play as their vetoed commanders either.
Seems cool, only one problem. Usf only has 3 good 1v1 commanders
Edit: Nvm, it's fine. Usf has more options.
