A probably stupid idea to remedy FTA

[Gustahl]

Yes, I know that there are a lot of other threads about FTA but I didn't want my post to disappear in the vast majority of all those other posts.

Also, I know that we have no statistics for FTA actually existing yet, but lets pretend it does for now.

Here's an idea I got yesterday which I at first thought was quite stupid but which I have now started to take a liking to... So I would like to state it here so that you can all make me realize why it is stupid (which I am sure it is). Okay, so here it goes:

We let the set up for P1 be the same as it is now. But we give P2 one extra unit which is randomly chosen, for each game, to be either a runner, soldier or medic (any other unit would be to over powered, right?) and place this unit on a spot that is randomly chosen to be one of three (or four or something) predetermined spots.

The reasons why I start to like this is:
1. P2 wouldn't be as weak, unit-wise, relative to P1, as he often is now. But still, wouldn't be too strong.
2. It would make every match (a little) different.
3. P1 would be more hesitant to rush since he doesn't really know what is waiting for him.


And of course, you might have to tweak the random generator a bit so that, for instance: If the random unit is a medic, then choose the random spot for it as far away as possible from the already existing medic. And stuff like that.


So, why is this a really dumb idea? Let the bashing begin.
