I think we are playing different games, where you prefer to have your UI recolored, and typing shit into chat is better than the system where the player receives a ping: sound + flashing + written warning that his unit is being killed.
I use discord. I'm not talking about in game chat
Yes, I am advocating for removing of this unique colors because it adds nothing.
That's your opinion, and I disagree; I think it adds something. Our opinions are at odds with another. Seems we are at an impasse.
..this game locks you into the dice roll UI
You can just turn off unique colors if you really wanted to. I assume you meant it's either that or not know which player is who.
Instead of just cutting out useful new features, let's just agree that for the game to be better, it needs to have:
1.) Player names added back
2.) An option to enable CoH 2 style unique player colors (player is always blue)
3.) A more intuitive assigned unique color system (no red/orange teammates, etc.)
