This is so far fetched that I dont really believe it myself but perhaps they designed it like that to prevent badge farming with friends in opposite teams. We all know that too many players actually did this to get those damage badges, i.e 6 friends connected to the same lobby in two teams and went somewhere remote and did damage to each other, killed each other and respawned each other over and over to get those badges. If I am not mistaken, the conduits last forever and do 10 dmg per second, i.e 30 possible dmg per second to a full enemy team. And it doesnt make much sound or visual effects either. So it would only take 2.2 minutes to farm a 4k badge this way and 6 inventories full of heals, two Lifelines and two Watsons might make this totally possible to do.
Oh my god... "we need to stop a minor problem of people farming stats" what to do? "remove all damage stats made to the shield" well isnt that a parameter in the skill determination? "yes but they don't need it"......
