Purify synergies should be last to prevent people from maliciously or unintentionally proccing Plaguebreak.

The effect is intended to be a punishment on cleansing, not on just synergizing. With the current priority of synergies and purify overriding all others in it's aoe it is blocking ALL synergies from being used. This leads to plaguebreak having unintended, or inconspicuous at best, utility and making one of Templar's most iconic abilities shut down entire areas of the battlefield.
In niche situations its even worse as this has allowed a new form of griefing in cyro where traitors will just run in groups dropping ritual on keep doors and high traffic areas, shutting down synergy capabilities completely.2 -

✭I'm sorry but I don't see the issue. Its still on people whether or not to use the synergy. It's the exact same situation as Hel Ra hard mode and I wouldn't want to see that change either.
As for the griefing aspect, so what? It's not something I'd do but then I'm not stupid enough to grab a synergy when I'm infected with plague, and while you may get the odd player that finds it funny to do so i can't imagine the griefing is that common.
No, leave it alone, it doesn't need changing.0
