Overall, not much has changed, though teams 'look' more even, I think the matchmaking is better
But exactly what CUSE points out, balancing the teams in terms of 'MU' leaves a hole where
You have mercs that don't contribute unless there team is winning, But thats unavoidable
Teams on the scoresheet look closer and 'some' of the battles played today and yesterday have been good,
So something is definetly working out there Rattati... Just one flaw I have noticed..
AFKers
Since the update, more than half the games I am in have a matching number of AFKers (or close to)
Is this intended ? to not allow one team be weighed down by them? but then both teams are burdened 
Has anyone else noticed this flaw?
Innapropriate Irrelevence...

Again, CUSE makes a good point
The reward for actually performing a role in battle is usually low, the encouragement for EZ WP
Usually means Logi/Vehicle or a Scout as these roles will generate the most WP via EQ or AV
So the Assault/Heavy who is defending a point is starved for WP as they can't access it
Forgive the derail, but I've started so I will finish
Until Vehicles got DMG WP, Logistics was the way to farm WP via Reps/Links/Hives/Scans
Now I would consider those on almost equal in terms of WP earning (depending on situation)
The Scout, has the advantage of moving on to the next WP gain quickly, so WP can be good
Assault/Heavy left pretty far behind in terms of how much WP they can earn
A solid fix to this, would be too add WP rewards for Defending/Assaulting an objective, maybe
then points for 'Saviour' kills to reward defending your teammates would also add to it
One other thing overlooked, Logi recieves 'Guardian' for leashing a Heavy and farming his stomp
Could we receive 'Slayer' points for killing someone while they recieve Logi reps..?
So if pigs flew and any of this happened, All roles would have chances for decent WP earnings
- Logi would be back in the lead, so I would advise a 'nerf' to equipment WP
Reps-15 WP Spawns-15 WP Supply-15WP-Scans-15WP
As the 25WP currently for Spawn/Rep is too high, and Supply too low.
(Logi's will argue this, but the proof is when you see 20+ Links in a map and no Hives)
- Again sorry for going off topic, but all things considered.. WP earnings are important to team balance
