Presently it feels like the leader kit has no identity or real reason to be picked; this is especially since rallies can be set by any kit so long as it is the squad leader setting it. I see three possible ways of changing this:
- make the rally an equipment for the leader kit as opposed to a squad point benefit. If the worry is that rallies would come into play sooner in the match compared to now with the current system, just make it so you cant use it before X minutes have passed.
- incentivize the leader kit by giving it a teamplay bonus of some kind. maybe a multiplier to squad points earned, a unique build item, or a unique weapon(s) exclusive to the kit. or replace the unique equipment it currently has (range finder binos) which is underwhelming at best.
- remove the kit entirely and if you want to keep the identity of the uniform difference since we don't want to have wasted the art design's time, just make that the default uniform for anyone who is a squad leader.
