I think that it can be easily overlooked and it appear one time. Giving direction mid action can go so far, it's impossible to know what the player is doing while the banner appear. And the info button give a lot of usefull information, like the character ability and build.

  A good compromise is to show the average mmr of the raiders, it is a good indicator of the difficulty. It doesen't accounto for antagonist, but it wouldn't show in character selection anyway. It would also help me to understand if I can pick what ever character or if I need to carry this match, right now I choose based on rank.

    The problem isn't team composition, I can do the mission and could the rest of my team. The problem was that one of our teamate was basically afk, and we couldn't pull his weight to, especially because the antag had a perfect positioning. We were overrun by ads, and we had to let slip something so it was the thing that didn't immediatly kill us. I actually think that the antagonist and the afk natve were the same guy, using the vision of one to get the upper hand on the rest of the team.

    Also I don't like to use the redemeer this way, because then I have a limited number of times I can miss a shot before I have to redo the setup. We hadn't the time to breathe, this strategly would have been way to convoluted.

   Everibody who begin playing spacelords and starts to know how antagosist know have the same suggestion/question, why the antagonist has to win to get a decent score/rewards/etc...? As I get to know the game better I understood a little bit why is this the case, and why after all this time antagonist have to win to earn something. But while I was scrapping to get a 1.1 more on my adventure path to get those weapon skin, I start to put some thoughts in the interaction between those two aspect of the game.

   In a week I can relaiably get a score of at least 8 in all mission, with most be 9. If from today I queue only antagonist for the rest of the month, maybe I can relaiably get a 0.6, the antag role is hard. If I want those juicy adventure path I need much more. The only way to get an high score relaiably as an antagonist is to hunt noobs and lowering your mmr, this might not give you scores higher than 7.8-8, but it give much more on the adventure score than just do raider or try to be an antagonist fairly.  As it stand right now, the win or nothing rewards for the antagonist with the adventure path reward a behaviour that hinder the growth of the playerbase.

   I also have a series of gripes with the antagonist system that I foun entangled with each other so let's begin. The raiders can give up a mission if the majority want to, the antagonist must endure wathever the matchmaking serves him. Especially considering how much more frustrating antag is than raider, true the raiders would get a free win so my next gripes is that. It make no sense than if the antagonist run the raiders automatically wins, there still is a level that would not complete itself antagonist or not. In this times if an antagonist run, it wasn't very influencial on the match to bengin with. It's not chess the pieces will still moves even if the opponent isn't there, unless we talk about the mission altered difficulty wich can be altered during cutsene (Indeed the game already do that in small amunt). But I have a bigger gripes with the altered difficulty, little annectode first:
  "A breath of hope" my mmr at the time 44%, I have a friend with me of mmr 36% wich is also the average mmr of the team. There is an antagonist of mmr 20%, the game set the difficulty at 40%. The antagonist was awful, but the two other members of my team (and my friend to) start to brack like toothpicks for the sheer spawn rate. The antagonist leave after the first monolith is acrtivated. He could have stayed in a corner doing nothing and we would have lost the mission.
  There should be a cap on the maximun difficulty based on the lowest or second lowest mmr (or it could be the ighest difficulty at wich the second lowest mmr won a mission). You can introduce an lower cap as well.

    In general I think that every palyer should have two mmr one for raider the other for antag. The reason is my current mmr is valued at how good I am to carry noobs as raider, because I mostly avoied play as antag. And this can be said for most of the newer playerbase. If I start mathcmaking as antag however the skill required is to 1v4 people with my same skill (at least in theory), you can't expect that a 40% mmr raider behace like a 40% mmr antagonist.

I know that bewitch dosen't work in three meters, but sometimes it makes no sense. In certain cases enemy shoot me while bewitched, but it was around the three meters threshold. But just today, I bewitched 3 melee elites and ran away behid a cover, with no stress signature, and they still would follow me. I don't use bewitch much so I don't have much data, but those few times it kinda work half of the time. 

 I didn't want to make a post about this, but since I just got paired twice with thye same antagonist in 3 mission. But my recordings are too big yo send, and I keep losing loot and rewards due to this. So the thing is simple, if my antagonist is a Iune she kills anyone on my team as soon as she have line of sight with us. I once get out of cover and slide, and still get killed with a single salvo.  The weapon I saw used with this were the base weapon (oath I belive is called) and sigh. Suffice to say I lost  all missions when this happen. The only time when I was able to kill such antag is while they were killng my teamate, or with long cover cheese if the map allowed. If they make more than 3 meters of distance, it was then impossible to catch with certain characters. Even if everthing was legal still this has next to no counterplay.

  I speak from a prospective of one who mostly play raider, and do some antag mission only for adventure rewards. I think taht the pvp aspect of the game is quite odd, it's mostly matchup knowledge and gain that knowledge it's painfull. For example I didn't know that if you dodge against a Kuzman you die, or that Alicia can kill you  with a dodge. And I don't know the counterplay to the previous strategy. The point is pvp can be a completely different beast, and you can go pretty far without knowing  any of this stuff, my mmr is 40%. Yet if I try to be an antagonist I get paired up with groups at 50% mmr who definetly know mostly the pvp.
  I just got in a match when they culd just shut down all my engagement, because I didn't know any of the matchups. I could try to do that mission, or spend around the same amount of time in a soft ban. I understood how they shut down me at the third failed engagement, and there was no point continuing other than make me incredibly salty. Yet this soft ban make my expirience at learning the pvp even longer, than it is.
  I don't understand why the antagonist get a ban for forfeit. If I leave as a raider there are 3 person who have to pull my weight withuout the lives I wasted. In other hero shooters I get a ban for forfeit, because the rest of the team will lose most of their engagement. But who hurt an antagonist that forfeit? The ads? The elites? If I get matched against some of the best players of the game do I have to be their punching bags or get a ban? Those details escape me.
   I think there are some quality of life improvement that could help the antag expirience. Have two separate mmr for raider  and antagonst, so at least if you played raider to high mmr you can try to swith to antagonist. it would also help to find people who lower their mmr in order to bully noobs,  as the two mmr would differ greatly (at least they would have to lower two mmr instead of one). Also remove the forfeit penalities, it would make antag more accessible.

EDIT: Just did a game. We were in 3 people, one of us was a kuzman rank 6 who wuldn't be able to do the mission normally. We got paired with a purple rank 1 one rak. I struggle to almost get even with him, the rest of the team got demolished. Thatas what the current adventure path results.
