Give SL points when squadmembers spawn

[Miklas]

Being a good SL means that you stay out of the fighting as much as you can and let the "disposables" do the work for you. Howerver, staying out of the fight doens't mean that the SL don't stay near the fight.
This means that if you're doing your job as an Sl in a good way you're not going to get a good score even though your actions are contributing to the overall success of your team.
To remedy this problem I suggest that the SL does get points when squadmembers spawn on him/her. Of course there shouldn't be one point per spawn but perhaps one point per ten spawns.
This would incentivize the SL to stay in an attractvie place for his squadmembers. An attractive place is of course a place where the soldiers can cause the most mayhem such as near enemy flags.
This would deal with the problem of SLs going rambo to score points which means that they die a lot and the squadmembers can't spawn on him --> Not good for the team, you fail.
I think that anything that incentivizes players (foremost public players) to teamwork is good. This suggestion does incentivize teamowork since the SL will be near the action and so a lot of people will spawn on the SL.
What are your thoughts and comments to this suggestion?

If this is not possible on the game engine please just kill this thread.

So I should get tons of points for hiding under a table and pressing alt+tab?


Sure.

Its a problem yes. Often I will be 'hiding spawn' behind the enemy lines when we are on a losing battle...

I end up having 5 or 6 points while the rest of the squad has 60+ per person and we end up best squad a few rounds after the other. It does annoy me somewhat, but on the other side, thats what it takes to help the team so okay.
I think most experienced people know what it means if the 'best squad' of the match has a squadleader with little points. I hope .

If I play alone and have a good mood I end up top #4 plenty of times, but as a squadleader...rarely. I'm a lot more cautious and more concerned with not-dieng. Just the way things are I think.

The problem is, the system cannot discriminate between squadleaders doing their work and squadleaders taking a coffee while the rest of the squad are a bunch of loners spawning elsewhere..

That part makes me like this idea.

Sure.

If this will help your team I do think your should be rewarded for it and if you hide too long you will eventually not be in an attractive spawn position since the fighting will have moved on elsewhere.

I agree with Miklas... good idea

[Cory the Otter]

But is it possible to code?

[ajappat]

I don't think this is good idea. I'd have 200 points after every round if this suggestion passes

There's not 2000 tickets on any maps...

And I do more than just sit in bushes as spawn point.

[Miklas]

The one point per ten spawns was just an example and should of course be set after carefully testing.
...if it is possible to implement at all that is.
