To me it feels really awkward and clumsy to have it on, especially with players bunched up together. I’d call it personal preference, the difference seems so minute anyway…

tl;dr?

That’s actually incorrect. The uber drain rate is increased only while multiple players are under the effect of the uber.

No, that’s exactly what I’m trying to tell you.
I tested it.
I tested it again yesterday.
I tested it again today with one bot. Tell me how I managed to get an über <8s when there's only one target to über.

lawl how about just playing the game and pew pew people and having fun instead of paying attention to the smallest details :) just try both and see which you like better, just like with almost everything.

Now that is odd. Tested again today and I’m seeing the exact same thing. Clearly Robin doesn’t know how it works. Interesting.

Best guess: when you let go of someone they get the 1 second of fade, but if you re-apply uber to them before the second is up, it still counts like they’re receiving the effect of both the fade and uber, so it will drain like it would for 2 players.

If you wait until it has faded before re-applying uber you should still get the full 8 seconds.

No. I always waited until it had faded.
Best Guess: It’s exactly like I told you. Add half the base über drain rate for every flashing player. Or in other words, every full flashing-until-no-über sequence (1s) costs you 0.5 seconds of über.

Not sure about flashes with Quickfix; the healing definitely doesn’t continue, but maybe the knock back immunity does?

Edit: Does not.

Afaik the effects of kritz and quickfix (not sure about vaccinator) don’t flash, just like they don’t flash for 1s after the charge (unlike the normal über fade).

Penalties for switching targets during the charge are the same however, I tested that.
