#(Automatic) Performance Based Squad Leader Promotion

Whoever gained the most points in the past 3 to 5 minutes (bonus points for squad activities excluded) ought to be promoted to be the Squad Leader.
However, to smooth it out, this should only apply if the difference in score gain (mind, not total score, so newcomers have a chance) is greater than 20% to that of the current leader. That way, severely underperforming leaders will be demoted to their rightful place and actively engaging in the fight will be promoted.

Absolutely no one needs that "Squad Leader" sitting in the back and sniping next to the spawn beacon at the edge of the map.

I do agree squad leads who sit in the back doing nothing are useless lol

I don't agree with the constant squad lead switching, though. I personally feel that there are times when you barely gain any points, even when engaging in active combat. That could very well be a skill issue, but I think you can still have a good squad lead who isn't getting top points in the squad at all times. I would also assume that not every person who is getting those top points wants the squad lead responsibilities.

I think giving the other members in the squad the ability to vote for a new squad lead, would be a much better solution.

The real issue is the automatic objective marking

#

An inactive squad lead should be one that does not give orders

#

But that can’t really happen because orders are automatically given now

They are?
It never does it when I am the lead, I feel like.

Skill issue

#

But like fr tho this problem isn’t that bad if you just change to another squad

#

The only problem is the auto lock which makes that 10x harder

#

Once that’s fixed than it’s fine

I like the way WW3 does it. If the squad leader doesn’t give orders and there’s no active order for a specific amount of time, the squad lead goes to the squadmate who requested an order update.

If mean, if this was the default but could be disabled, rando squads would end up with more competent SL's.

#

You know, since the current SL likely didn't even read far enough to disable it.

#

Everyone else would be unaffected. Squads made by parties seem to retain the SL in every match anyway.

#

That actually trips me out as well. In a squad with randos, even if you're the leader, why are you suddenly no longer the leader in the next match? That's annoying.

#

Seems like a bug.

#

If you specifically made that squad, you shouldn't even loser SL unless you give it up.

# vital agate I have people to play with nowadays. This is just a suggestion to improve the ga...

Have you tried asking for the squad leader promotion?
It might work 💀
While I do agree that the SL system is kinda barebone and should be better polished, I don't think what you suggested is the way to go, really.
Maybe pass the leader if they don't do anything, or maybe a button to "request promotion".
Another thing to note is that SL is, on top of the rally point and commanding the squad, an EXP farm, so some people might be using it just for that and don't want others to "take it " from them.
