Faking just for the sake of faking it makes no sense. The spells you want to fake are those that can be dodged by teleporter...and who wants to dodge, say, Architects Splash-Mana-Tank-Cannon (if it is even possible)?
I really don't even know why Plasma Fragments are never used, they don't seem so bad on paper. Nevertheless I never use them either (even though I do use artillery, so maybe it is a range thing?).
For the very cheap and (in my opinion) bad weapons I suggested a long time ago that they should get expensive upgrades, relative to their base cost, to give them better mid-lategame. I'm not too sure that would solve anything though.
