FAIR HOST picking idea

Please make it so that the person who has gone the most matches in a row without being host is the person who is selected for host!
This would mean that whenever you are host the counter gets set back to ZERO and then each person you match with where you aren't host it counts up!
The higher number gets host and it's just whoever was waiting longer if they have the same number!
This would SOLVE when you get matched with the SAME PERSON after requeuing and they get host AGAIN!

Host swapping per round

After getting into a match with the same person multiple times on client, and them leaving after the match was finished every time. I realized that this kind of problem will only become more of an issue after the quest release.
Clarification on issue:
- I join as client.
- Match ends.
- Opponent leaves.
- I never got to play host.
- Que for next game.
- Still on client.
- Lather, rinse, repeat.
Possible solution:
Five round matches (best three out of five wins) where the host swaps every round.
I know it may not be a perfect solution, but as long as we have a peer to peer connection in rumble, then there is only so much that can be done to mitigate these problems. I would also love to hear other suggestions if anyone has any that may also alleviate the struggle of playing on client (which I can't help but think needs to be worked out better by the time of the quest release, if we want people to stick around. No one like playing against someone on client where the connection varies so much from player to player.).

If this happens, it should only be with matchmaking. Not with a rematch after an earlier fight. A rematch switching host/client roles is a good feature that should not be overruled.

Musical-Memoirs I 100% agree but by default my idea would work how it does now for a rematch anyway.
The client would have just gone 1 match without being host where the host hasn't so the client would be chosen as host anyway since they have gone more matches without being host.
It looks like this ancient idea from a few months after the game came out was better thought out than I remembered haha
