The above is a very simple assessment of how the foul points affect this game. 4X as many foul points to the winning alliance....this means that fouls swing a large percentage of matches.

50 point foul is effectively a automatic loss most of the time.
Tragic.
Worst game design since 2003, yet no real action to correct....
Tragic.
Agreed. Quite sad to see some really good strategies play out and then that one tech foul swings it the other way.
I think a 30 point value should be the max assigned to the tech foul. Hopefully, based on average win/loss margins it will have a smaller swing effect on match outcomes.
