Don't conflate what you or some forum users want with what everyone wants. Nevertheless an in game polling system is a good idea. They could target polls to paying players, free players, guilded and unguilded. There's a lot of useful feedback they could get from such a system.
I am 50/50 on this to be honest I love having that because it makes them the bigger targets to go after right up their with any support class (ESPECIALLY APOTHS!!!!) Personally I would prefer if they only showed the skull when you marked the target or something.
My secondary issue is that you don't even get the same thing on the allied side to tell if they're veteran, you have to go to scoreboard or see them using an iron halo of some kind to know. As a support main, that's a major flaw that prevents us from helping solo queue Vets.
I think being visually distinguishable should be the way veterans get identified, rather than some arbitrary HUD symbol. This goes hand-in-hand with the fact that I think it's weird that basic tactical marines are running around visually in artificer armor. I believe the artificer trim should be reserved for veterans, making them easy to identify at a glance.
Voted no. So I trudge through the tree to get to the vet, just to be a bigger target....blah. There is enough junk on them to be seen, if the players pay attention as they should be.
