I don't know if this has been suggested before but it would be nice to be able to option out certain turrets/hulls so that the game would be better and fun. So for example let's take Noise CTF, that game has an almost 90% Tesla pick rate and in 2018 used to have an 80% pick rate for Magnum this made it harder to play for the blue team and the game wouldn't work and players would leave. What I'm trying to say is if players could option out said turrets, they would rely on their teammates and everyone would have their independent roles to capture the flag.

I'm pretty sure this suggestion will be rejected but hopefully, it gets somewhat considered. 

 

(btw I am just throwing numbers around you should be able to get the point I'm trying to make)

It's crazy how people been wanting this since 2014 and it hasn't been considered. Not once

It's been considered many times.

Originally, this idea got declined, because the ability to create certain custom formats (like Wasp+Firebird) would allow players to farm score and rewards very quickly, so the feature would quickly turn into a power-boosting tool. Nowadays I don't think that would be an issue, but PRO battles are nowhere near as popular anymore, and spending the resources to implement a feature lke this is not worth it for how little it will be used.

I remember Opex saying somewhere that people hate spending time fiddling with battle settings, and most PRO battles are created with all-default or almost all-default settings. Based on that I can almost guarantee you that very few people will ever bother restricting equipment.

Seriously, where else would people even use it other than removing Magnums and Teslas on Noise?
