How late into the game do you expect people to be able to change their facets?

[ʍolɟ ǝɥʇ ǝsɹǝʌǝɹ]

theyd have to build UI to allow you to do that. Maybe they will do it in the future

Usually I wouldnt agree, but half of the facets feels like placeholder facets. I too forget to change the facet when i play roles i dont usually play or heroes i havent touched since facets came to be.

maybe before the 0:00 min or even -0:30 min right when the announcer says 30 seconds to battle

They can do a pop up instead you need to choose before you can buy items.

Yeah like the prediction button at the start of a game, something like that, maybe the timer is the same as selling items you bought during pick phase, or simply the same as prediction button.

switch facet

I know that „problem“ from other games. I think it is partly due to that the facets are changes to the abilities that can‘t be installed that easy once in the game. E.g. in War of Warships you can‘t change your basic ship equipment once you are in the game, although it would suit the actual situation better. You go into the battle with what you came for it.

It's very easy to make it so that you cannot change facets after receiving the benefits of one of the facets

Imagine how the game prevents you from receiving another boost from mekansm/guardian greaves until the cooldown wears off, but permanently once you are affected by one of them. For Alchemist, make it so that when he spends any of the 250 gold from the facet, he is locked into it and isn't allowed to change anymore. In this instance, he is receiving the benefit of being able to buy more at the beginning of the game, so if he spends the gold, then he is sticking with the bonus gold

A facet is just a passive ability for your hero, so there is no reason why the game can't swap a passive in the middle of the match in the same way that you can have abilities added/changed based on talents, scepter, or shard

mate, you can see what other ppl picked. that is unfair. of example if I see a lycan with the ghost wolf facet then i am going to switch out the damage heal facet on witch doctor

This is probably why they didn't implement any facet change. But like the Quit game 3 second delay, there can be UI to prompt or alert players to the current selected facet.
