How should Respawn rework amps for ALGS?

I think everyone can agree that character abilities and util are incredibly strong. ex: Gibby/seer/maggie/newcastle w/ power amp, wraith/alter w/ overflow. Basically power amp in general.

Not sure how respawn should balance character abilities, but I 100% believe that amps need to be adjusted, or removed from ALGS entirely.

Solution 1: nerf amps overall*

  1. Power Booster: no longer gives new Q on knock, instead reduces cooldown by 50%
  2. Overflow: doesn't heal while in phase (alter Q, wraith Q)
  3. Infinite Ammo: works like the booster loader hop-up, only refreshes ammo right before the mag empties. AND/OR takes 3 slots, not 2.
  4. Infinite Batts: No change (definitely the weakest amp, I feel like any further nerfs would make it unusable)

Solution 2: Remove amps from ALGS

Solution 3: make amps gold-tier items, making them more rare to find (like how ult-accels were changed from blue to purple)

Curious to everyone else's ideas
