    Okay, since these are both related to the 1v1 I'll compile it into 1 thread. I'll explain the second one first. Essentially, while in the lobby waiting, it will display the players exact rank and placing on their bar, so I can know what I'm up against without slyly asking mid-game "so, uh- what rank are you" (I can't be the only one.) Not because I'm afraid of how good they are, but because I want to be able to make a wild guess about how far I will be up the ladder after I woop him :D. Putting a little rank shield would really complete the multiplayer experience for me.


    Okay, now trophy coms. this is just a little idea. Maybe, after all the custom coms are made, uber can design more default coms. GIVE ME THE METRACH IT SEEMS SO COOL. Anyway, aside from these default coms, trophy commanders that can be acquired by winning an amount of matches- right now, we do have trophy coms. The most common are the Progenitor and Alpha. when we see one in lobby, we think "this guy's been here since alpha, he's got some knowladge lel." Also, if I ever see a beast com in my lobby- well.
    This will be another com that, when seen, will actually make us say, "oh, this guy may be good, he's got this com," where owning something like my beloved armalisk or spiderofmean just makes us think "wow, what a noob. investing money into a game you already have. tsk tsk."

    Anyone else like these ideas?

    I would like to see that as well, helps "feel out" your opponent

    For the trophy comms dont the kick starters still have Comm skins that have to be made? Or am I just late to the party?
