I suppose my point is that this year in a 2vs3 there are strategies you can use to still guarantee pretty good seeding points in a loss - in fact you CAN guarantee as many seeding points as the winning alliance.
In past years there was less incentive to play a 2vs3 because it typically meant a loss.
This year, although 2vs3 still aren't great, if played right, you will still earn very significant seeding points even if you lose - so long as you play it right.
To no-show isn't just walking away from a probable loss, but you're now walking away from very significant seeding points - possibly the same had you won.
To me, that makes the penalty for no-showing much higher this year.
