Power drain everywhere has ruined the game

WHY IS POWER DRAIN EVERYWHERE?

This is ruining the joy of the game for us with smaller champion rosters below 1 million team rank. I have like two 5 star champs that can avoid power drain from atleast a few defenders, but 90% of fights are ruined by power drain.

Not because your power is drained, but because you take damage every time you hit the defender. It's like there's dozens of Electro on steroids out there now.

I'd understand if it was featured in a specific side quest, but when it's even implemented in Battlegrounds it's just too much.

Is this awful addition permanent or will it disappear soon?

    If you are talking specifically about BG, then you can counter it by Armor break, nullify, stagger, etc etc method. I don't see any problem there.
    If you are facing this any other area, you can share roster and nodes, can help out you there

    That’s what I was thinking too. To be fair on that one, Burden of Might hasn’t worked properly in a long time. You’re supposed to lose 25% of max power when you lose a buff, but I can go from full bar to absolute zero after one buff. It drains more power than it’s supposed to. But it’s still not the end of the world.

    Uncollected event quest against Bishop and a bunch of times in Battlegrounds. Every hit on the defender where i take damage it keeps popping up POWER DRAIN in red letters on the screen on Bronze III and Bronze II. No picture.

    That’s how the nodes in BGs work. There is, first of all, a difference between power DRAIN and power BURN. Both will drain your power, but only one will deal damage.
    In BGs, if your opponent has an armor up (as stated on the node) you will power BURN resulting in drained power and damage taken. This can be worked around not only with power burn immune champs, but more widely by champions that can inflict armor break or nullify buffs.
    With the path in UC EQ, you have Burden of Might. The node clearly states that interaction as well where you will be power DRAINED when a buff expires (like after an attack after every successful dex). It’s not going to damage you, only drain your power. It’s also only for one path, so the world isn’t going to end because of that.
