While i'm asking questions, anyone got any good arguments AGAINST custom kits? i already have enough to argue against and make a video out of but more can't hurt

Not good but realistic - updates will be too uneventful/tiny without kit drops. Kits are easy to make but very impactful, maps for example take a ton of work and might end up sucking.
Imagine the emptiest seasons we've gotten and then take out all the weapon kits.
Having to balance the strongest users ends up making everything homogeneous. Any new bomb has to be designed around slosher getting it. Only 2 shooters exist, the best at fighting and the best at farming the meta special. And the meta special sucks for everyone else as it's balanced for that weapon
If Flingza feels unfair to play against with bomb combos and special spam, how do you balance it? Nerf it so its best combo is the only viable one or make it worse for everyone else? Can every sub+special combo survive the "a full team throwing them at the zone without ever engaging" test?
custom kits will cause weapons to have no weakness if everyone could choose what to pout in their kits obviously they will go for what id best the game will be unplayable
It would be miserable to balance points per special since every weapon may need specific points per special for EVERY special. Nintendo sometimes struggles with points (see vshot 190 and ballpoint 190) so idk what they are supposed to do with custom kits
A second point is that it makes the barrier to entry if the game much, what if you don’t know what specials enemies have? Just last night one of my mates was surprised to see a crab tank when the other team had a vdualie, throwing this into the mayhem that is splatoon might be overstimulating
This second point might have an easy solution of showing what people have at the beginning of the match and also showing that info on the map, but still it may require you to have more knowledge to actually start playing splatoon

LITERALLY everyone would run Burst, Torp, or Fizzy if given the opportunity. Meta specials? I'm certain there's that single one that breaks the game.
