A separate setting to turn around to face the opposite team is a nice idea.

I don't think it should affect which side the attacker goes to, because I
think instead attackers should go to the nearest side of their target,
whether an ally or foe, and not what they do now which assumes enemies face
right and heroes face left. (Attacking their backs could be a separate
setting.)
Then of course there's the problem of formations where heroes or enemies
that are drawn to face up or down; I think we didn't reach many conclusions
when we discussed it last time. But I don't think we have to solve that
before adding a setting to make targets turn around.
