Thoughts on CoOpertition

Unfortunately, there's no special type of transmission that will magically get you past defense. The best way to deal with defense is to practice, regardless of gearing. - connor.worley [more]

Re: Thoughts on CoOpertition

Does awarding the losing alliance the winner's score (without penalties) really make sense??

Somehow, having the losing alliance earn more seeding points than the winning alliance in a match just doesn't seem right. This situation was mostly eliminated in Team Update #16 by awarding a 5-point bonus for win (but not always).
