I'm afraid I don't quite understand the strategy here? Was this to mean the dominate team did not want to balance so as to not give another team the co-op points, or was it that the dominant team was throwing the match? If the case is the former, then I do not see an issue with a team doing this because that is not playing without heart, rather, it is playing with the big picture weaved into your strategy.
