This game's strangling of defense is something I'll form more of an opinion on once I play it.
The ranking point rules were tilted obscenely against defense. If red scored six goals and blue scored zero, and red got one penalty, then blue would get six RPs and red would get five. Who really won that match?

We had an extremely strong defense bot and the more we won, the more we went down in the rankings.

Homework? What's homework?
