Always Forward Not Working in AW Node 3

Anyone else notice that Defenders are healing all the way despite Always Forward supposedly hard capping their HP to where they started a fight? Tried to go against a Zola on Node 3 and it went badly, so I figured I would just chip him down instead. 3 revives later I felt like I wasn't getting anywhere. Started looking at his actual HP between fights and sure enough, its going back up. Kinda feels pointless to even try.

Dviz (the definition of mid) + g99 vs a photon.
92 revives later photon was at 80%.
Skill issue + node issue.
