SUGGESTION: Change cadence of FL map rotation

[Mawlzy]

I would like to see a system in place, that enables players to apply for being such a commander at the start of a match, like signing up for it, they will appear in a list that gets displayed in the warmup time - all other players can then vote their leader for their alliance.

I think this is an interesting idea that I believe has cropped up before here.

Much of the friction between commanders and the foot soldiers is that the current system requires the commander to appoint themselves. A formal voting system would remove that issue, and perhaps also communicate the idea that FL is a serious strategy mode.

It would also allow those who prefer matches without a single shot-caller to have input on whether or not they got one.

Unless you also disable or restrict chat, à la Crystaline Conflict, anyone and everyone will still be able to try their hand at calling shots and directing the troops. The ability to place markers might be helpful, but it's hardly a requirement.

On Aether at least, if someone takes command they have to be really horrible for anyone else to interject (outside of pinch warnings).

If the team decides on a commander via vote, I think they'd get an even smoother ride. Like anyone being disruptive in that scenario is arguably violating ToS.
