    What if we gave players the ability to give a class a "nickname"? For example:

    For soldier, a player could change it's nickname to "s" or "so", so that when they type "/s" or "/so" it immediately changes the class.
    If the command is already in use, like for example "/s" is currently "/s Sorry!", an error message could pop out saying "Command already in use, try again."
    To create a nickname for a class you'd need credits. I'm thinking 1,000 credits for first change, 2,500 credits for second change, 5,000 credits for third change, etc.

    I think this would be a good implementation because it allows comp players to switch their classes easier and with more urgency. Rather than set up a macro for these "nicknames" have it something that's buyable with in game credits.

    I think we should just add shorter aliases for each class - /he for heavy, /so for soldier, etc. It'd be easier to add and would get the job done.

    Having custom nicknames for classes is a nice idea though, if it's popular I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be added - passed it to the council :smile:

    Please add something like this, the amount of times I type /nijna instead of /ninja is so frustrating lol

    An alternative to respawning could also be adding in /kill

    I don't see a reason for this since it's easier to have a player from the other team kill you instead of typing a command to kill you imo

    I feel that, the reason I thought of this is because of the number of times I’ve misspelt soldier and wasted time during a comp match.

    It’s faster to just type /class ____ than to go find someone on the other team to kill you.
