I suggest to instead use R#, where # is the random team number -- otherwise you lose information that there will infact be (random) teams.

Yes, yes it is! I'm glad I'm not the only one that happens to.

Or fade the map a touch and write random across it (removed on roll over).

Or rainbow icons.
Or different shaped icons (like circles).
Or have the current player colors randomly rotating though all valid spots. (Trippy)

Lots of solutions.
But the first thing really needs to happen.

Removing the team numbers would be even more confusing. Saying that they're "random" would be wrong, unless the settings happen to be no teams and locked alliance.

I thought more about removing the team number when set to random. Instead of "1", "2" etc. it could just show "Random".

First I wanted to remove the spots on the preview, too, but then I thought it would be a bad idea cause it would be interesting to see the spawns so I removed that part. It is funny that you still assumed I wanted to remove them ^^

I wouldn't remove the spots cause it's nice to know where the spawns are but maybe at random spots in red text or something over the map preview.

Some people just don't seem to get that the game is random if all spots are grey... it would help if all team indicators would be removed if it is random.. if possible (and not too much effort).
