If the rule stays, I'm very confident the top teams will be doing TNA most of the time since they can spend time doing more efficient scoring.
This game isn't solely about how many points you get though. To win competitions, your... competition has to score less than you. By disagreeing to TNA you can force the opposing alliance to HAVE to get all points by playing offensively. If you know you can outscore again and again with a strategy that can put up 40 points in noodles every time without the TNA, you kind of shut down the opposing alliance. I argue that TNA will be seen more in matches where you have say 4 or 5 push bots - if that even happens - and you know it'll be low scoring, where you need a boost in points.
