Well. It also discourages bottom feeding by removing the possibility of manipulating nw.
Indeed. There's no number trade-off to being as pumped as possible.
But I doubt people will be much more pumped on avg. In war/honor tier people pump as deep as possible without running neg income. Pumping deeper is inefficient when searching for war might take days. Don't see that changing much. Aside for when wars have been agreed upon and scheduled in advance - but then I don't see the problem; pumping right and picking setups that allow for it becomes part of the strategy. And no change from before really, if u know a war is coming, you pump as deep as you can nowadays too.
If you're whoring, yes. Majority doesn't. And again, being bigger than everyone else = lower gains from hitting, and without being able to manipulate nw your gains will be lower.
Indeed. WS would be the same as adding GS instantly. Game changer oop :)
Well. People could also opt to increase acre spread in their kd to ladder chain better. One way of maintaining chain efficiency.
