Syndicate and Unity both have metric tonnes of little annoyances like this that don't break the game by any means, but make it bucketloads less enjoyable than it truly could've been and scream of lack of polish. It's not game-breaking, but it's minor, it's petty, and it's sand in the eye of the game. But the thing is, it does NOT let you Cover Assassinate unless they are in that 'state' of leaning against it. In AC Syndicate being behind cover even if the character doesn't place their hand on it/doesn't lean their body to the side against it STILL LETS YOU be hidden from enemies.

The cover systems in Tomb Raider and The Last of Us DO NOT have this issue. Its probably a good review from a magazine/site, a good trailer or the creative cover that you see in the stores shelf, the one that makes you look closer. Like even if you're behind a piece of cover, as long as your character isn't touching their hand against the wall you're not really 'in cover.' It's sometimes tough to get them to do that, or it takes just a bit longer than it should. There's all these little things that get in the way.
