Jimmies who have the sauire kit equipped become squires in copy kit games

Except you never know what the kit will look like. Sometimes it's an interesting kit with a number of unique items synergizing to make a nice experience, sometimes it's hardmode, which becomes less and less viable as the monsters gain buffs to deal with the dwarf buffs. More armor shreds, bigger hitters, more arrow resistance.

If the kit's were actually represented in the que, players would join custom games with the knowledge of what their getting into rather than crapshoots that turn into... "well this kit sucks I'ma just die and make the game end quicker." People that want to participate in that game join up, those that don't stay away and don't spoil it for the rest.

And honestly I feel like it's more dependent on whether it's a well thought out kit that keeps players hooked on giving a copy kit game hooked or not. That Dragonbow dagger game was actually really nice, and gave me newfound appreciation for the dagger/ dragonskin bow. Golems were hella scary, and yet we still managed through use of the strengths of both Dskin and dagger, learning what targets to rightclick, and when to bow proc.

But one a game is just herp a derp nothing kits... It's cute for like.. the first few times, but when that's everyones first custom game it's just kinda like... "Really this is the best you can think of?" It makes me honestly wish it would just saddle you with the normal warrior kit so it felt like a fair challenge rather than just. "Kay here's golems that will shred your shitty armor, have bow immunity that makes your peanut damage bows even shittier, and tons of damage and tankability that just makes melee a rather terrible idea.

But people take that risk because "Hey maybe I can see a really cool kit and learn something new!" Because weapons cost an arm and a leg and take weeks/months of grinding to obtain such weapons. So they'll take any means to play with it earlier. Even if it's jumping into a custom kit with no knowledge of what that kit will be.
