I think I understand your point. Last year, the 3rd alliance partner was very helpful. They would be another scorer (ususally fairly effective because they would face little to no defense), play defense on the other alliance's top scorers and climb ramps at the end. This year, however, thier role isn't as big. Most of the time, the third alliance partner is a lap bot (due to the fact they would be the 3rd hurdler or the regional isn't as deep). The points earned by a lap bot is usually around 20 (or 6 laps and 2 lines in hybrid). Last year, however, a 3rd alliance partner could score/play defense and then climb on ramps for 30 points.
