This War score makes absolutely no sense to me. This needs to be fixed immediately.

This doesn’t make any sense. These numbers don’t add up. I don’t understand. And this is some of the biggest bull I’ve ever seen before in this game . These guys only had 13 people on defense. I thought that you get full attack bonus for an empty node? If that was so, and they were missing 35 defenders, wouldn’t that mean that we would have to die 35 x 3 for them to even have a chance if they had zero deaths? We out scored them on attack bonus but we only won by 1,690 points. That 1,690 is the difference in score between our Defender Diversity and our Attack Bonus combined. So what I’m realizing right now, is that since they didn’t place 35 defenders, we lose out on those 35 full attack bonuses? Are you serious that if our Attack Bonus and Defender Diversity was 1,690 points higher than them, that we could have lost with 20 defenders vs 13? This is the some of the biggest bull I’ve ever seen in this game before. Is what I’m saying correct or am I not seeing something? Does anyone else agree that this is complete and total bull that not placing defenders can actually help lower your opponent’s score? I thought I read someone complaining about something like this before on forums. Is this true? Basically rewarding alliances for being inactive and actually giving them a chance to win with 10 vs 20 if the alliance with 20 was very, very bad on attack phase, they can lose because not getting attack bonuses on blank nodes. Do you get full attack bonus for blank node or you get zero points from attack bonus on blank nodes? This makes me sense to me.

The other team wasn’t too far off in attack bonus, that is why the score is close.
If I just place one defender on the boss node and the entire rest of the map is empty, if I clear your map and you get stuck on the boss you're going to lose. That's intentional.
Opponent leaving a node empty gives you exactly the same points as if they placed a defender there but you (as probably) just beat it in a single fight (full attack bonus either way). Only difference is that by not placing a defender they will have surrendered a “potential” extra count towards their Diversity score.
Basically you can figure relative Attack Bonus difference from the Defender Kills count (adjusting for any cases where a hard node took more than 3 attempts before killing).
As to last point of yours...
Even if you had full 20 ppl (assume this was a 2BG war) and opponent only had 5 people place defense, you could technically lose if your team ends up dying all over the place against their relatively sparse defense and the other team (with added attackers) marches thru your full defense with very few deaths.
Which team deserves to win, the one that dies 5 fewer times, or the team that kills 20 more Doom, Medusa, Havok, and Annihilus while only dying 5 more times?
While at your level, duplicates might just be what champs are ranked, the scoring needs to keep in mind that at the top, alliances could stack massive numbers of the hardest defenders to make the opponent die as many times as possible. You just didn't manage to kill them enough to overcome the penalty for using multiple high end defenders at once.
Getting 3 more counted deaths out of those duplicates would have overcome the diversity deficit. You didn't, so you lost.
