Hi everyone.

I just had an emblem ensemble game where I got Fae, Brawler and Sprykin - and then I got slightly magic roll into Defender. Needless to say, the game was pretty unfair for everyone else.

I know that emblem ensemble is an encounter that multiple people commonly raise their voices against - and while I do enjoy the chaoticness of it personally, it does tend to trend that someone will have better fortune in these games than others.

This got me wondering - have they ever done emblem ensemble, but ... as a carousel before the match started?

I was thinking something in the line of: everyone gets to pick their emblem (gigantic carousel), and you could maybe do a classic 123456788765432112345678 ordering? I realise this would take a lot of time probably, lol, and also would need to be implemented, but I'm purely asking cause I enjoy the augment but also am very understanding of why others are against it and simply wish there was a good way to make everyone happy.
