    As an added bonus, this would allow a teammate to have a chance to cancel a self destruct of the team's commanders at the start of the game initiated by a troll.

    Of course the troll could just keep doing it.

    Pretty sure the delete confirmation pops only for the client issuing the delete command, ie in your case, the troll.

    I also dislike this. Just give a countdown with a beeping noise like in TA and add a tooltip that says 'hit delete again to abort self destruct', and presto.

    Not for the confirmation, but if it put a timer over the unit that was set to destruct, and it was able to be canceled, I would hope anyone could cancel it.

    it needs to be like TA, where in the chat

    DOX: FIVE
    DOX: FOUR
    DOX: THREE
    *presses delete again*
    DOX: SELF DESTRUCT TERMINATED

    This can also stop immature allies from deleting your com.

    If anyone remember the first 2v2 tournament final where I deleted my commander after 20 seconds. Accidents happen with my fat fingers and one happened today. My backspace button is quite small and quite close to the delete button. So normally happens when i rush type during game.

    Not saying what we have now is perfect but much better than no warning. Countdown and cancel countdown is also fine.
