Custom Games - Each Demigod only once per side

Just an idead, to include an option in custom games to only allow each demigod once per side. Would be interesting to see matches without 3 Unclean Beasts and 4 Erebus :)

that would be a good idea

but i have been noticing a lot more often that the teams end up looking alike either way by that I mean each team has a UB and Reg and Rook. Or 2 out or the 3 being the same

Forcing decisions like this sounds nice but what if you're the person always connecting late and can't choose to play your favourite DG because of it. 

If you want something like this try organising with the players in the lobby, it would be just as easy as having a constant stream of people entering the game, finding the setting was on and then leaving due to you already having picked UB.

It also has balance implications, what if my team chooses all 4 generals, we would be healing maniacs against 4 poor assasins.

no as stated in the titel , each side can choose form all demigods ... example : unclean beast can be played once on light and once on dark side.

it would be just for custom games, so it up to the person to join if they want to stay or not .. in the end the host of the game can define the rules.

Exactly. That's how it is now, if a host wants to enforce such a rule he can. No need to take away having multiple DGs of the same kind from custom games. Otherwise there would be no more "ROOKS ONLY!!" matches and other fun stuff.

This will never happen, nor should it, I would like to see some things implemented to prevent stacking from being too powerful.   1 common example I hear is 5x snipe, then stack all your mines up!  Obviously theres ways to counter this, everyone stack early health items early for example, but generally it'd be very hard for a non organised team to contend with.

Instead they should implement minor changes to prevent stacking from being so powerful.  For example, getting sniped could add a 5 second buff to the target reducing the next snipes damage by 25%, this effect should NOT refresh from a 2nd snipe, just cause the 2nd/3rd/4th/5th snipes to do slightly less damage if they are all used at the same exact time.

But honestly nothing really has to be done, if ppl want to try and stack things like, say 5 tower rooks, then other players will just find ways to counter these teams.  Assuming something isn't completely OP.

i still believe it does not hurt to have such a setting , no one can force you to play it or host it if you dont like it ...

more options in a custom game can bring a bit more diversity

would be also nice to be able to filter the game list after different settings -> list all games where favor items are disabled.
