I like Reins, it's a cool concept, but right now it just lets random players pick a side and warp. There’s no real way to coordinate them.

Each side could get a temporary /ch reins chat, and players could choose a role when joining:

• Objective - focuses golems, charges, lamps, sub-cores and the core.
• Defender - protects the inhib, lamps, core and other important positions.
• K/D Warrior - focuses kills, pressure and keeping enemies away from the objective.

The Reins Beacon UI could show the player count (and role breakdown) for both sides.

The town or alliance could also choose captains who can send highlighted calls to everyone or a specific role, such as:

• Regroup
• Push now
• Fall back
• Focus golems
• Push core
• Defend inhib
• Stop chasing

This could also be useful in normal conquest, but there you already have town/alliance chat and are usually in VC. Reins players don’t have either, which is why it would matter more there.

For ''fun Reins'', there could also be an optional team equalizer. This would still matter during the fight, not just before it starts. Often one side gets wiped on the first warp, while the winning side stays alive and doesn't warp again, leaving the rest of the fight heavily one-sided.

When that happens, players who are still alive on the larger side could receive a voluntary request:

The opposing side is heavily outnumbered. Switch sides to balance the fight?
[Switch Sides] [Stay]

Accepting would either move them immediately if they are out of combat, or switch their side the next time they die.

The request could go to the most recently joined players first and stop once the numbers are balanced again. Nobody would be forced to switch, but it would give players the option to keep a ''fun Reins'' fight going instead of watching one side get repeatedly wiped, which is the opposite of fun.
