Having a team take down a teammate, then get empowered, depending on their gear set generally makes me want to not even bother trying to fight and so I just give up because it’s pointless to continue against an empowered player when out numbered 3:1 and sometimes even 3:2. The empowered decay also -still- lasts too long after multiple feedback items on this specific topic. 10 units/s is not fast enough of a decay, especially when the player with empowered is still in a team of 3.
To caveat: This is especially awful in the context of Spires matches. In some scenarios, players are specifically building just for the quickest empowered ramp because it is just so overtuned against a number of the rock paper scissors gear combos, having empowered outweighs often other options.
Thanks.
