The skills that tend to be the most problematic aren't ones that have effects on other players, it's cooldown stuff, which means you aren't just changing what it does to people you have to limit what it can do based on location, which is whole new layer to the coding because there is no mechanic in place for that now. The could likely kludge something in with the difficulty system, but my guess is for code efficiency that is only a way to do multiplicative changes across the board. You need a finer tool than that for skills.
Jay Wilson said in the video Foxbat linked to that they actually have PvP tables that would enable them to alter cooldowns as well as the length of time effects have on players. I guess the game code knows to use the PvP tables if you're in a PvP arena.
