lol, I know, I shouldn't say every team was doing it. We just need one team to do something different to make my statement invalid. But I guess people get the idea, and you actually know what happened.

Each damage tick by a rain power is a separate attack, making it entirely possible to damage or defeat more than 16 targets per use, but they still have a target cap.
