Why more players don't buy the Uber pack

I think the free team should rotate, say.. monthly, so free players are forced to try them all and when they can't play the one they like any more they may be more willing to go buy it or the uber pack.

i think a tutorial is a great idea! It would definitely help the first-time player feel less of that "ok, what the hell do I do now?" feeling. Especially since there's no AI to practice your skills against. Jumping straight into a competitive environment from the outset can be pretty daunting. Then getting crushed by a ranked player on your first attempt can be discouraging. Equally, two n00bs fumbling around unfamiliar maps and units can give the impression the game lacks depth. The AI discussion has been done to death on here before but a few well scripted tutorial scenarios would be a valuable addition to the game. If I'm not mistaken, HA might have something like this?

What about players having the ability to view replays from within the app? If I hadn't come to this forum I would've never known about this feature where you could post links to your replays and others could click on them and watch. Maybe this should be possible from within the app so you don't have to go to an external browser to click a link? Then there could be a replay section users can go to for strategies on each team. Tutorials then could even be scripted replays so no AI needs to be programmed?

I also like the idea of free users getting random teams each game. This would surely piss me off enough to want to pay so that I could choose the team I wanted to use
