Power-ups are the only reason I don't play Skirmish and Elimination

I really love the idea of a good old deathmatch in this game, but I hate the idea of power-ups. There's already so much to worry about in a 4v4, from ganking to feats, I think they're just too much.

I understand power-ups are supposed to add an element of map control to the game, but I've never actually seen them work that way. In my experience, they just act as force multipliers for the winning team, who are free to collect them while the losers are still busy defending themselves.

I know there was a bit of a ruckus about power-ups around release, so I assume I'm not the only one who feels this way. In fact, I bet it's part of the reason why Skirmish and Elimination are dying right now!

So I figured, since Ubisoft started doing custom gamemode events recently, maybe now would be a good time to revisit them? Power-ups are a server-side setting, so it wouldn't take much work to run a couple events without them and see how it goes.
