This means, if player has only e.g. 25% of E, it saves 75% of E for storage, and spends 25% of E on OD.[/quote]

If you have more expenses (like on Spy cloak) than income there will be no overdrive at all. This means that if you start with full storage and then suddenly start losing E because of spies then OD is never going to do anything. The only case where OD hurts is filling the storage back afterwards.

It also has a requirement of stalling BP. If your economy is terrible enough to stall both E and BP then the little bit of wasted OD metal is not really a problem.

Also, in a team game the excess metal spills over to allies anyway.
