I see this mostly as a bad update. In any non-spawn-killing situation the protection is overpowered. I was stealing a flag and used wasp bomb on an enemy that spawned right behind me. The bomb did zero damage and the enemy killed me and returned the flag. No gain whatsoever. I don't think spawn-killing is a big problem anyway. I don't mind getting spawn-killed, and if I do, the battle is probably very unbalanced anyway and this update is not going to improve the situation. Especially with no visual indicator this is just awful.
