An idea for kits

This idea should only take place after a lot of kits are removed, so new players have less trouble deciding kits.

Anyway, the idea is to be able to pick two kits before the game, and have two kits active during the game. The usual kit selector will appear, but instead of one emerald to pick the kit, there would be two, named Kit 1 and Kit 2. Doesn't really matter which is 1 and 2, both will take effect at the same time.

A player can pick two of the same kits too, just that it may not be the wisest choice, except for certain cases. Examples are listed below

Boxer+Boxer: the description says: "Incoming damage reduced by half a heart". So, as both kits will take effect, incoming damage will be reduced by a total of 1 heart (Kit 1: -0.5, Kit 2: -0.5). However, for the fists, as the description says "Fists do almost as much as a wood sword (which is wrong, as fists do 2.5)", fists wouldn't do 5 hearts, it would do 2.5 still. This is because the description didn't state that fists would do 2 hearts extra (or if you want to compare to the bracketed part earlier, there's no + or - symbol) (Kit 1: 2.5, Kit 2: 2.5, no +/-2.5).

Now you may ask if ^ works with Viking
Viking /Viking: "Axes do half a heart more damage than their sword counterpart" Unless Viking has a secret ability that increases sword damage, Viking wouldn't be changed, axes would remain at 0.5 more than the sword equivalent.

Kanga/Kanga: Kanga would give you a rocket with 150 uses, so double Kanga would give you 2 rockets, each with 150 uses. The same thing would work for kits with kit items (eg: Grappler, Phantom (you can fly twice), Demoman, etc)

Spirit/Spirit: The description says "7 min after the game starts", not +7 min, so its pretty much useless to go this combo

Backup/Backup: Two kit selector books

Surprise/Surprise: Surprise twice

What about weird combos?

Specialist/Miner: Not going to get XP from coal, no change to that

Achilles/*anything*: Same as Achilles, but with another kit effect

Rogue/*anything*: "temporarily disable your opponent's ability", wouldn't affect your other kit effect.

If there's any more kit combos that need clarification, comment

 

There will be a huge change to HG, and from what I know, one of that is removing a lot of kits, so it's not too much for the devs to think of which to remove, coz there should be a lot of community input.

If you're talking about OP, basically, no combo is disallowed, so it's all down to the people to think of good ones.

For how kits will work on top of each other, there wouldn't be changes to the individual kits, just that the two abilities are active at the same time.

 

What's wrong with this? Sounds like an anti-team and anti-fall kit

 

I had a different idea. It goes something like this:
You can choose any kit for the first kit.
You can only choose defensive kits for the second one like boxer or toolmaster
