playing 3 vs 3 made me realize how punishing the altars are if you lose them
you lose the altar and you basically lose about 60 ms, you lose 20-30, enemy gains 20-30, this makes chasing and escaping impossible and frustrating.
enemy having over 400 ms while having below 400 because of altars, as a melee without gap closer that means you will never catch them no matter what, on the other hand as a squishy ranged without the altar it means you can't go too far from tower or risk dying because of the speed boo
