I really don't know why the drones exist at all. At least in such a way. They give way too much points for a simple last hit. And it is last hit.

Got one time, when flames did not attack the mid core at all, but one paladin came in at 2% or so and took the last hit. Full points to griffindor... I mean flames.

Really? Just last hit? Something which mainly got to do with sheer luck?

edit: personally I think instead of a single node that all factions DPS-race for kill claim it would be better replaced by 3 small drones, 1 spawning on each factions panel, and your team has to defend yours while DPSing down the other 2 teams'. If your node stays alive for 45 seconds, 90 seconds, 3 minutes, you get the additive buffs
Sounds way more interesting.
