Gear uselessness

How is it after equipping two scanners to teebo, each of which increased potency by 40% his potency now sits at 27%. Did that gear vanish, disappear, or just poof, become utterly useless, probably the later, just like this game, and the development team. On the plus side I m sure we will all be part of some class action lawsuit in a few months. Just save ur iPad receipts.
What a joke this became almost within an hour. PatheticK
