If enough of the player base is unhappy with the scoring system kabam will change it. I don’t have any concrete numbers. But, hypothetically if they need 30% of player base engagement to justify it, and they’re falling short they’ll do something.
If they have enough engagement they won’t change it, and for those who don’t like it, it will just be another game mode we skip like for some it’s incursions, for some it’s arena etc.
Not everyone will like everything and most people skip something. It’s par for the course.
The scoring system will never please everyone. Some champs are just inherently slower than others and this scoring system creates an opportunity for both big burst damage champs and slow sustainable champs to each find a way to win. Every once in a while you will see both ends of the spectrum matched up against each other and people will inevitably disagree on a winner. Although I tend to agree that a KO should be a win if the other person did not get one, I can see why it isn't scored this way. There is a timer that is relatively short (i.e. the shortest fight timer in the game to be fair) and some champs really just aren't designed to get a fight done that quick. I don't think people want a longer timer because that will just extend the duration of matches. Not getting a KO means you give up both the fight duration points and the remaining defender health. If you made the match longer, the outcome likely wouldn't be any different because the faster person would just get more points via fight duration and the slower person would make up for that by getting the KO. The only thing accomplished is making it take longer to end the match.
Something isn’t right with scoring when I can quit a fight 10 seconds in and win while my opponent busts his butt for 2 minutes , does more damage and doesn’t KO my champ.

That’s less an issue with the scoring and more an issue with quitting or pausing.
If someone quits a fight, 0 points. If someone pauses a fight, I’m tempted to say 0 points as well. But if not 0, then a big penalty to their score
There are too many situations where pausing the fight can be used to manipulate the fight, and Kabam have said they’re looking into this before. Nick fury second life, you pushed the opponent to sp3, you’re about to take a ton of damage (maybe stuck in the corner) and you pause to preserve your health.
I honestly don’t think there even should be a pause button in BGs, because of the ability to manipulate the fight.

Whatever the issue is, I'm just trying to bring some attention to it. Quitting def should not result in 15k points so Im going to say that yes, this is a scoring issue. I figured I'd just take the loss after quitting 10 seconds in but was surprised to see that I won. My buddy fought hard for almost 2 minutes and had nothing to show for his best effort.
