It does help to pull the opposing alliance down. Yes you may not be competing directly against them match wise but ranking wise you are. If you were to play 10 matches for example, an accurate human player can make a match difficult for potentially 30 teams and bring their ranking down. Especially if you were playing against a team your fighting for ranking position against and knew they could do coopertition noodles or not, it is advantageous to throw them very early on.

Unless you're essentially perfect, it still doesn't help in the long run. For argument's sake, I'll assume that the impact of litter lying around is linear - two noodles, twice the impact.
At our regional, 57 teams will compete; I believe this is fairly typical. Each piece of litter pulls down three teams, so the net effect on the average is 1/19 of the effect on that one alliance. On the other hand, every noodle you drop in your own work area affects you (and your alliance partners) completely - 19 times as much. Unless you've got a better than 19:1 chance of the litter winding up in their work area as yours, you're doing your team and alliance a net disservice. |
