As a player who often has to reserve an entire team of class slots for a highlander game, I find it a bit tedious to click nine times to reserve every single slot.

I think adding two boxes for each of teams that would instantly tick all the classes to be reserved on that team can be a nice addition that takes up very little space and lowers the amount of clicks required to properly set up a reserved lobby.

I'm sure a lot of growing teams will benefit from this, as this shortens the amount of time required to create lobby itself so it can start filling faster.

Thanks.

It takes approximately 7 seconds to check all of the boxes (though I'm sure you can train yourself to get it to 5). In all seriousness, it's not that big a deal. I agree it'd be nice, but the devs have a whole lot of stuff to deal with.

To remedy your problem, you can use iMacro, which lets you make a script that replicates what you've done. I know some people that use it to create lobbies.

 

Making the boxes bigger is also something to think about.

While I agree with mattgician about it being a bit lazy, it would be a nice quality of life change. Something to put on the list for whenever the devs catch up with everything.

My thoughts are the same as everybody else: "Just don't be so lazy", also, you could just stop stacking lobbies.

I find it much more fun to split up my team on opposite sides, not just to be not stacked, but to also have fun playing against each other. I always have more fun in lobbies when 4 of my friends I reserved a slot for are on the other team. Makes it much more interesting.

It's almost a GUI standard to have a check all button at the top of a row of boxes.

 

I don't mind playing against a stack, I like to foil their plans.  Plenty of lobby players are at or above the level of a team that tries to tf2c-scrim.

[TheMattgician]

Though if the lobby is going to be against a team, it should be mumble required. Otherwise, the team is getting a bad scrim out of it and its even more unbalanced.

[ninjaMooCow]

True.  Lots of times these people with the same tag will be in their own mumble.  I hate that.

yes, it's laziness.

What if you always play on Mondays with your team? Should we implement a feature that auto checks those if it's Monday? But I see a problem! What if you can't play next Monday! We should probably come up with some kind of page where you could exclude some Mondays. We will also dedicate a page for all Tuesdays. Anything else you want to occupy us with?
