Squad Battle Difficulty Bonus

This has been bugging me for a while…

Can anyone explain why you get a mere 0.60 difficulty bonus on world class level in a loss (instead of the 1.60 you get in a win)? Shouldn’t the difficulty bonus be the same in a loss as in a win? Otherwise, what’s the true meaning of the difficulty coefficient. Seems like it unnecessarily punishes users who are trying to get better by playing more challenging matches.

If I can win with certainty in Pro mode (and snag, say, 1000 pts) and you’re going to punish me for a narrow loss in WC mode (to the tune of maybe 400 pts), then it really diminishes the incentive for players to push themselves if they also want to win decent prizes. My suggestion would be to do some re-balancing. I don’t expect to come out better in a loss at WC difficulty than a win at Pro level, but it shouldn’t be a +600 pt discrepancy (because that just disincentivizes players pushing to get better and ultimately hurts competition across the whole platform).
