Idea /random improvements

/random works currently so that a random class is chosen, and the game tries to give it to you. I play with it a bit, it's nice to mix it up on casual, especially on free friday. However, there are a few things I'd like to see change. These are mostly QoL changes, but they'd be really nice to see.

Along with a standalone /random command, /togglerandom could be added. This would automatically run the /random command each time you die. Similar to in CS:GO, a random weapon can be selected with each death on deathmatch. It's a nice challenge that can encourage you to play a class you don't normally play. Before people say that I can just retype the command, or press the up arrow to see recent commands, it's a QoL change, and it also means I won't forget to change class.

There is one thing that annoys me with /random, it will select any class, and then try to give it to you. This means I can receive the elf class even when I don't own the elf class, meaning I have to run the command again, until I get a class I have. This is fine on Friday where I can play everything except fashionista, but every other day of the week, it's unwanted. It would be nice to switch it back on Friday though, as if I don't own elf, I still want it in the random pool on Friday.

Finally, probably of the lowest importance, but allowing people to select random by default could be cool. It means that each map/game they get a new class to try and play that game. Some may prefer this to the each death thing, as it allows them to practice the class a bit more during the game, but they could of course, just run /random at the start of the match.

These are small things that could just give the game an extra sparkle. Nothing game changing, but could even bring about a /random challenge, or a /random event.

 

I actually like the fact that /random can select the same class multiple times, when you actually have that class. Means you have a chance to try again with that class.
