And they only get the worst effects on a complete defeat. It's lot of narrative effort for very little gain especially as a single hero point or mastery advantage makes it impossible to get a complete defeat.

Augments are like these narrative sandbars that crop up once in a while. They stop everything for a minor game mechanical effect that's generally not worth having (although spending a hero point to grab +W is a good move in an extended conflict).

I definitely second that!

Make it so that whoever wants an augment must describe the worst possible effects of the augment.  If it isn't interesting enough, it isn't an augment.
