To me the traitors are already heavily favored in the rules department with there only being like 3 (seeing them shoot at/kill people, walking past an unid body, DNA) total reasons to kill T's without Test or KOS outside of OT. While I have been inactive for a while I rarely ever witnessed this ruining someone's T round at the very start. It is not a common occurrence for 1) A player to buy the tester immediately at the start of the round, and 2) Drop it fast enough to where a T who was next to them did not have time to run away or kill them. Test or KOS actually forces T's, especially those who aren't willing to take any risks (i.e waiting until every single person isn't around them to take 1 single shot then run) to pay attention to their surroundings and be on their toes. The Test or KOS rule is the only sure defense a detective could possibly have against an approaching T who wants to kill them, and that is only if 1) They have the tester near them and innocents haven't used it already to prove themselves, or 2) They have saved the tester for a situation where they are suspicious of someone following them and want to be 100% sure on their judgment. Overall, the case of it being used on a T at the very start of the round is extremely rare, and the benefits and potential for counterplay the rule offers otherwise outweigh the very small downside of it possibly occuring at the start of the round to a T.
