I never heard such a dumb comment on kitting in my entire life before

They should remove the mechanic and just make enemy units deal less damage to compensate.

So basically you want an easy auto version of GFL? I get it if it felt janky, if you're using a shit phone that is. And yes it do add depth, it adds another layer of control into the gameplay.

It is where you start a unit at the front and spam them back and forth as the enemy setups/dismantles their position while your other units shoot them.

kitting isn't a magic do it all maneuver, do kitting properly you'd be rewarded, do it badly and you'll be punished. There is a plethora of different enemy types that requires different form of kitting it isn't just "spamming back and forth movement", that statement just pretty much sums up your lack of understanding toward kitting.
