Fundamental Flaw to AW Scoring

VonDoom

Regarding the changes to AW scoring, specifically the difference in the amount of points for attacker kills and defenders placed. Why are these not the same amount? With defender diversity being the most important factor now, there's no reason to place more than the exact number of playable champs in the game.

Assuming 100% exploration between both alliances, and both alliances have the same defender diversity points, but one alliance placed only the 113 playable champs and another places 150 champs, the alliance that placed 113 will win since defenders placed is only 50 points and attacker kills is 150. One alliance is limited to 113 attacker kills while the other gets 150 and is outscored by 3,750 points. Defender rating doesn't make any difference because of how little points it gives.

TL;DR
Attacker kills and defenders placed need to equal the same thing or there's no point to place more than the amount of playable characters in the game

We already won a war like this on accident. It's mind boggling that the game team didn't see this basic math problem in advance.

They are hoping the alliance with the 150 use a diverse choice of heroes to counter that. If the alliance with 150 champs have very little of the same champs compared to if the 113 ones uses the same standard list of defenders with the same 100% clear, then the 150 one wins from champ diversity. It's stupid and still doesn't fix the issue and only creates another issue in it matter MUCH less which defenders you place as long as you make it so you place all different types and get 100% clears.
