Suggestion: Move squad suppression aura to squad leader

The asymmetric spawn mechanics are one of the games greatest strengths, but the American version pushes squad leaders to play very, very carefully. That's cool as far as it goes, but the incentive for defensive play is so strong that a good squad leader can often spend minutes at a time prone in a corner. Sometimes, you can feel so much like a spawn point vs. a soldier as to hurt the immersion.

One way to nudge squad leaders into being more aggressive is to move some or all of the squad synergy aura to the squad leader, so that a squad fighting near their squad leader gets more benefit. It works thematically, and also addresses the converse issue for VC, which is that charlie Squad leaders often don't feel like leaders at all. I could also see this making squad play more coherent as a whole.

What do you guys think?
