I'd like to see a feature where a mech which uses it's AMS to protect another friendly get a bonus.
I think the system needs encouragement to use and in just the same way that tag/narc and counter ecm benefits you as a team player so should AMS IMO.

For example lets say the AMS bonus only applies to mechs which can carry more than one AMS system, Jester, Firestarter, Anansi, Locust 3M Etc etc. And you only get the bonus when your AMS shoot's down missiles intended for your team mate. Also perhaps you could base the rewards based on how many enemy missiles were destroyed rewarding mechs with more than one system or those that have done AMS upgrades (rate of fire and range and so on).

This would give me more reason to roll in my Locust 3M other than tagging people and taking the occasional pot shot at them. With this bonus i could boost my earnings a little by combatting the LRM rain spam.

TAG and NARC are an anti-ECM tax.

AMS is optional and already has a bonus...you shoot down incoming missiles.

I'd be happy to see 0.1 xp and 1 c-bill per LRM destroyed.

When your limited ammo is being used to protect someone else, yeah, you should get a bonus.

Exactly! Especially since PGI won't give us an On/Off toggle...
