People could still stack immediately after but it would at least make it more difficult for a stack to form around the better commander.
This problem is all about "I'm so cool that I cannot fly for that guy, because I'll lose my precious HELO". Personally I don't care who is in the com chair (i got some personal exceptions tho), if I want to play and the game is unbalanced I always join the unstack. I really hate unbalanced games, really, I know the fact that playing for an unexperienced player could be painful, but is a damned game, after all... Is better a balanced game with unbalanced coms than an unbalanced game WITH unbalanced players. It's riddiculous to see a bunch of vets with an awesome com, against a noob with a bunch of noobs... I don't know which part of your brain gets a lot of fun anihilating noobs, relax maybe, some personal self esteem therapy??

Reverse pick has the best chance of somewhat even teams. In a regular pick, vets tend to sit out until they know they can get in where they want. In a reverse pick, at least the newbs are properly distributed, which goes a long way.
For those who are not hip to the reverse pick, the enemy commander picks your team and visa versa.

What does your new Mum say?
