Titania is one frame who really suffers from it. She already moves so fast in Razorwing that having her speed unpredictably tripled can smash her into walls at best, or throw her into out-of-bounds barriers at worst, especially on the Corpus tile for Mirror Defense where the barrier is an entire back wall for some reason.

I really appreciate the Volt main insight! Would it help if the tap-cast affected Companions, Escorts, and Specters, but not other players? And the only difference is that the hold-cast + animation does affect other players? Other than that, I agree that a buff menu option would address this beautifully.

Some players love getting Volt Speed buffed; others beg him to stop. Being able to backflip out of it is an imperfect fix imo, because the duration on it is so low that the Volt will have to constantly recast it. Having to backflip every 20 seconds can feel intrusive. (He shares this problem with Limbo, and his version is even more restrictive.) My solution: When you tap Volt's Speed, it still casts without an animation as it currently does, but it only affects him. When you hold it, it casts with a one (or maybe two?)-handed animation and affects the squad as it currently does. Maybe he exaggeratedly points forward like 'Chaaarge!' This way, if a Volt player is using Speed for themselves, it will be as seamless as it ever was -- but if they want to buff the group, they have to commit to an animation. (Otherwise players would just invert his tap/hold settings and continue tap-casting the group-buff as usual.)

Hold to snapshot the lighting that you're currently standing in. With the buff snapshotted, it won't change as you move through the level. You could use the tap-cast to detect areas of high or low light, and then use the hold-cast to snapshot your preferred buff from those areas. That way, you still have to engage with the ability's core mechanic -- the environment -- and it canonizes what was previously an exploit, into basic functionality for the ability.
