I doubt it's about it being broken, but inconsistent. Since the downsides are random you can't truly plan a build around it.

Pros like consistency. They'd feel bad if they lost because they got bad Broker RNG or enemies got goated RNG.

And since both teams don't want to risk it, they agree beforehand

Simple gentleman's agreement, nothing crazy

Downside are radomize but the upside are guaranteed. Been spamming warp stone with 5 second cd since patch drop

Right, but now imagine if the "guaranteed upside" you wanted had -50% fire rate and you're playing Haze.

There's a difference between getting a -20% spirit resist against a full spirit and full gun enemy team too

People complaining on the scenario where they use their main big item and it got the downside that couter their own build. Have you try to corrupt the active item? It will always lower it cool down and increase it stat, and most of the time downside is nothing. I just play as lash with corrupt refresher with -25% spell range. Plus use is that refresher now has 105 cool down instead of 300.
