[Major] hero device health bug

Summary

When eliminating someone while having the hero (tested with the Darth Vader Hero), it gives the player 7.5K max Health

Tested on Multiple maps, even made a new Template Island, the issue persists here as well.

Devices

Steps to Reproduce

Place a Hero Device and bind it to an action.
Give Player1 the Hero effect and eliminate Player2.

Expected Result

Should not give 7.5K max health?

Observed Result

Gives max 7.5K health (Never resets until you respawn, even when you remove the hero effect.)

Platform(s)

PC, Mobile

Video

Additional Notes

This was recorded in the template: Nevarro Inspired Starter Island. Only placed a hero device and a button

Also, a request.

Allow us to set the standard MAX health and shield. Instead of an increment already on top.
Allows for more gameplay types

Bump

Any update?

Also, are there people who do not have this issue?
