First of all, I haven't done the raid and have seen very limited run-throughs online (bits and pieces here and there) so I don't know all that much about it to be honest. I agree, someone "declaring" themselves leader is a stupid move, but from what I have seen it seems like SOMEONE needs to lead so that things are well timed and executed. I agree with Coast Girl where it should be elected by vote at the beginning but the person that ends up becoming leader needs to understand that no matter what happens to make the group fail it's ultimately on them. They're in charge so even if some a-hole is jumping in front of Gorgon's for sh!ts and giggles it's in some sense the leaders fault....granted no one will blame the leader for that d!ckwad. Blaming fireteam members for your bad leadership only further expresses that bad leadership.
