Rift is trash. Here is how it can be improved-
Make the Spark similar to a relic where you can hold it. Give the player a slight damage resistance while holding the Spark, or maybe increasing resistance depending on the number of allies near the wielder. Sometimes the rounds can be drawn out, maybe make it so the Spark can be thrown as well, but not able to be thrown into the goal so it would still need to be dunked.
Problems I have encountered-
I recently had a match where the Spark glitched and was completely removed from that game, the winner was obvious at that point since there was no Spark and the rest of the game was a waste of time since there was no Spark on the playing field. Also, very inconsistent game play when not playing with a team.

Agreed, and in many of the maps if you die you spawn too far away to get back in time. It's pretty stupid. I would love to see it removed from the competitive playlist.
