Gold Chestplate Feedback

I think of all the Golden loot available, the Golden Chestplate is by far the worst. The ability to recharge it by performing an assassination is slower than using a shield battery that accomplishes the same thing.

So, I was thinking that to make the Gold Chestplate actually viable as a loot item, is to modify its passive ability to increase reload speed by 100%; meaning if it takes 3 seconds to reload a weapon, it would take 1.5 seconds to reload that same weapon with a Gold Chestplate.
Players would also be aware that another player has this ability due to their damage indicators.

What do you guys think about this?

If you disagree with an increase reload speed, what other ability would you prefer to see applied to the chest armour?

loot

weapons

Been thinking about this a little more and I think the faster healing should be moved to the gold armor regardless as it feeds more info to the player and it would be nice to know that someone has faster healing. With some experience you learn the sounds of every gun and know what someone has when they shoot at you (probably a * wingman). It would be no different than seeing a lifeline and knowing she has faster healing/revives so you adjust your play accordingly. Right now you see gold armor indicators and you think 'oh hey that guy has gold armor! oh wait, gold armor is just purple armor with flavor text'. The executions feel like they're just there for some flavor anyways, you never use these in combat and once combat is done they turn into a crate and you can't execute anyway. Feels bad man.
