I agree that the 2012 win-is-as-valuable-as-coopertition-balance system was flawed, and that it has the ability to turn into people saying "I only lost because my opponents were worse than yours", but I do think some sort of cooperating would be nice, especially in the elimination rounds. It shouldn't be the only way of scoring, but I think it could work out nicely, if done right.
