More of a hazard than a help for sure. Contamination with Zombie makes it useful, and Global Cooling if you can still do something like attach nails to your boots to make yourself unable to slip in the final release would have quite a bit of use. However, Ignition is just bad. To really make good use of these, you need all the surfaces created to harm enemies and either help or not directly impact all allies, which makes them difficult to use.
