Cooperating is a skill of Rebound Rumble, and it is a whole lot more than just another way to rank robots. It's a skill, and an alliance can be rewarded for utilizing and implementing that skill.

I don't understand this point. Teams will win/lose just as much as before.

The co-op would've been negligible at IRI anyway with a 90%+ success rate, so why even have it? Teams would've been sorted win/loss pretty much.

The removal of co-op is completely separate from the addition of triples, and shouldn't upset anyone once you analyze what likely would have happened.
