The opposing teams demigod selections should be hidden in the lobby

from Demigod Forums

In multiplayer skirmish, shouldn't the other teams Demigod selections be hidden.

Displaying the enemies demigods delays the start of the game as players keep changing selections like a game of whack-a-mole and gives the lobby leader and unfair advantage to switch classes at the last minute.

The fog of war should extend into the game's lobby.

If the game is balanced it shouldn't really matter what everyone chooses.  What you are seeing are people who would prefer to change characters rather than strategy.

Even though each unit is individually balanced they are still ultimately class based. It would be really boring if they were not.  As an extreme example: A team of all Rooks will play the game differently than one of all Sednas. I am just stating that the other teams class selections should not be known until they emerge from the fog of war on the battlefield.

I actually strongly agree with someone.

Choosingo ne demigod as a counter to another one is silly. :P

It also allows youto get starting items based on who you're fighting.  You should need to figure out who you're playing..
