Is it easier? I'm not sure we can say definitively, because there are quite a few variables in this game. The big dynamic trade-off:
- You can score more points with less defense on you.
- You can score more points when you have strong partners.
It becomes very event dependent, as well as schedule dependent.

Absolutely. Many of the powerhouses could complete quick single bot cycles. However, a combination of seeding rules, point maximization and slow ball-returns certainly promotes more assisting in general.

A good match schedule that allows for more triple assists can certainly affect a team's seeding and tie-breaking ability. It also makes a notable difference in
World OPR/CCWM.
*BTW, Congrats last weekend! Looking forward to seeing you at District Champs.
