This is a repost of an older post I made about a month ago, and still think it's a good idea.
In the WB Montreal game, Batman Arkham: Origins, there was an Online mode and basically it worked like this: Three teams battled out for a 'capture the base' type game. It had a fun little mechanic, where you'd either play as Joker thugs or Banes thugs, these two had wildly different cosmetic options and load outs (sound familiar?) But It had an option in the settings menu where you could choose your preferred team, either Bane, Joker or Batman. (Teams were assigned randomly at the start of every match.) So how about a setting where you can choose your top three favorite legends. That way if someone takes your main and you're not paying attention, you aren't stuck playing a random Legend you don't like. (For me I always get Bloodhound when this happens, and they (along with Crypto) are the only Legends I have never really been able to figure out. So I think if you could select your top three you could have a setup like this:
Primary Legend: Caustic.
Secondary Legend: Pathfinder.
Tertiary Legend: Bangalore.
This way if someone takes caustic, and you're player 2, you'll end up with Path. But if you're player three and someone takes Path, you end up with Bangalore. That way you never have to play as a legend you don't like.

Yupp, this has been high on the wish list since the games release but the good people at Respawn are just stubborn like that and refuse to implement it. They rather implement some stupid favorite list of skins than one for legends haha. The only reason I can think of is that they want people to unintentionally find new legends to main instead of playing the same 3 legends they are comfortable with. Unfortunately, most people will just leave the game after the legend select and the team must play 2 v 3.
