I didn't wanted to post my idea without an in game reason (other than balance) but I want to at least get it out there and hopefully someone else can fill in the hole.
Ok, my idea to balance the matches against tanks and Protostomping with out affecting stats is to remove clone counts and add some sort of point system that will be lowered for every kill based on some value assigned to each fit, be it meta lvl, ISK cost, or some other number. What this would allow would be if a side wishes to go all prototype fewer deaths on their end will lose them the match and a side that goes cheep milita gear can use Zerg swarm tactics. This is will also balance tanks becuase if, as tankers say, a tank is suppose to require 5 people to team up and coordinate to take it down then that tank better feel like 5 clones being taken down when it finally is.
My reason for thinking that this will go far to balance matches is because we have a team size limit and nothing to spend ISK on other than suits to fight with; in an match with equally capable players and team sizes using higher tiered suits is a clear way to gain an advantage. Unless you are low on ISK and trying to save some up why not use what Protosuits you have win with, especially in FW where winning nets you a higher standing and therefore more LP. In EVE if your opponent brings expensive teir 2 stuff and you don't that's your fault becuase you could have at least tried to outnumber them instead. This will help simulate a tech inferior forces attempting to outnumber a tech superior force.
My thoughts, what do you think? |

I dont think this idea works. Sometimes winning costs you more than the losing side and it is up to us to decide how badly we want to win.
I do emphatically believe the isk destroyed stats should be totalled and shown on the battle report for the team as a whole as well as individuals. You should be able to track this stat on leaderboards as well with totals and isk efficiency percentages.
