Reminder that Isaac went unbought for over 10 weeks when i landed him.

Picking up mercs that people slept on and using them effectively is an amazing feeling. Random Alchemist from Etrian Odyssey carried my earlygame Mercs 3 team.

I think this is another reason not to narrow rosters. With bigger rosters you have more room (literally) to maybe gamble on an unknown quantity, or a merc who gets mixed respect, without having to stake the whole match on them.

Also, in terms of visualizing matches, I think the mercs themselves are a bigger factor than raw team size. Like if you have a 2v2 featuring...I dunno, SH2 Yuri and the Destiny dude, it is probably going to end up with the two leaders tossing walls of text at each other until the thread peters out with three total votes. Some characters just make me mentally glaze over. But give me a bigger fight with characters that I know better and an all-around more robust discussion, and it's much more comprehensible.

It's not just about merc obscurity, although that's a factor. Like, I'd never heard of Nova before M4, but she was both fun and had easy talking points: sniper, invisibility cloak, psychic powerz, skilled at infiltration. As opposed to say Kha'zix (I still have no idea what this guy does, besides be broken) or Marcus (I know what he does but it's boring) or Yuri ("I have exactly two youtube clips of this guy and I'm going to post them in every fight").
