Why does random hide faction?
Chosing random to me should be a mechanic to let a player pick a random faction when they cant decide/do not care which faction to pick, and be not affect gameplay at all. However, I think that by hiding the random player’s faction it gives them an information advantage, meaning they know my faction and the right BO to pick while I have to guess until my scout sees one of them. To me, the information advantage it gives grants random players an upper hand at the start of a match by denying their opponent knowledge of what faction they have, and thus which BO to pick, since some BO will not work on one faction but will on others.
