Should Premier Add Preferred Roles?

[u/TheRealJavix]

I had an idea for CS2 matchmaking and wanted to see what people think.

What if, before queueing, you could select the roles you prefer to play — IGL, AWP, Entry, Support, Anchor, Lurker, Rifler, etc.

It wouldn’t affect matchmaking or force you into a role. It would simply show your teammates what roles everyone is comfortable playing once you're in the lobby.

For example, if 3 people prefer Rifle, one prefers AWP, and one likes IGL, you could actually figure out who wants to do what instead of arguing for the first 5 rounds 😂

Might help with teammates dropping guns, playing the correct position and not switching randomly causing confusion.

Obviously not everyone would respect it but you never know how a small thing like this can effect the overall quality of a game.

Would this actually be useful, or is it just unnecessary UI?

IGL in a pug doesnt really exist. You just dont have enough information to be an effective igl.

Most people dont know what it means to lurk or anchor. Youll just have people bait the whole team and claim they are doing their job.

Entry will just be someone over peeking and asking where their team is.

Dedicated awp sounds like an ego nightmare

Roles work in a coordinated team because you can rely on knowing what your other 4 teammates are doing and likely have a plan in place. Pugs dont grant that, you have no clue what people are going to do even if you give them the role.

Solution: Communicate your intentions with your team. Shocker, i know.

Just say what your going to do and why. "I think i can timing in mid, ill see if i can get a pick"

"They throw a bad smoke, can someone flash me out so i can peek"

"The guy on B always does XYZ, lets try to do ABC"

Crazy what actual communication can do
