Power weapons stacking on each other?

I posted a similar topic for the beta but it hasn’t changed. Power weapons can spawn on top of each other. Isn’t this a problem with anyone else? That a team could use the sniper to protect the spawning of another sniper for their team? Power weapon dominance is awesome, but I thought as long as you were holding the weapon it wouldn’t spawn. Played a match of slayer against 3 fuel rod cannons. It’s not game breaking, but it just seems a little over the top. Thoughts on power weapon stacking?

It’s so dumb.

Does the timer for power weapons start when it is picked up or is the timer always going down regardless if the weapon is picked up or not?
