GUI adjustment for Alliance War Defense selection...

I am not promoting or suggesting to Enable the use of synergies for champions placed on War Defense.
I understand that champion synergies are disabled and do not work while the champion is acting as a War Defender. It would be nice if the Interface for Defender selection would reflect that synergies don't work.
It is a very simple fix and does not require a redesign of the interface. Simply use the same Selected Champion panel that is used along the left side of the "Quick Match" arena. That arena uses only 1 champion so there's no use for synergies. That panel on the left is the same dimensions as other team selection panels, and the Quick Match side simply removed the Synergy icon.
If the Synergy system is only compatible with Arenas and active Questing, and there is seemingly no future plans to address the Synergy system being useless for war, then just remove that display from the selection screen.
This is not a major bug by anymeans, and some would just toss this into the "Quality Of Life" requests, which I understand.
As it is now there are new players in the game, and even some current long playing active players (who don't get onto forums) that do not know that the Synergy system is not functional with regards to War Defense. They wind up selecting their champions based off of who the champs synergize with. I see Ghost, Wasp, and Antman all part of the same team on Defense.
There's also a visual discrepancy in which those synergies show to be active, that aren't, and the champion PI levels show to increase. This makes one think that well synergies on Defense may not work, but those champions are "stronger" since I see the PI increase .... are they? Does the PI increase showing in the Defense selection screen have any real effect in the matches?
I have not found an answer whether this is the case or not. It's possible they PI increase is visual only and has no actual effect when fighting. Similar to Class Advantage mixed with the Role Reversal nodes. The Role Reversal node flips the Class Advantage bonus, but that change is not visually reflected on the selection screen.
If there is no plan to fix War Defender synergies, then please just remove the synergy icon on the screen. Leave PI alone.
There is no reason to have another useless unrelated option showing invalid information. This feels too reminiscent to the mythical "Bases" in the Alliance menus in the game for ever...
