That strikes me as a very selfish attitude. What's the point in watching people who care only about themselves? Where's the inspiration in wanting the rest of your alliance to stay out of your way and let you dominate the game?

I think Aerial Assist does a very good job of promoting cooperation and asking every team to contribute. If you want a better chance to control your fate, you have the option of checking with your alliance partners ahead of time to see what you can do to make them as good as they can be.

If you've done your job well, your team already knows whether you're winners.
