The scoring rewards offense. +6/-6 matters if you are going for Kyber and a top finish. The best strategy is for maximum points on offense. If I hit an auto D and I can’t clear two sections, my score is 2700 and not 3100 - that matters.
Yes, points matter. It's geared towards offense now. But you're suggesting a mode which rewards defense, which is just flipping the script, and that doesn't matter. Whether you give the defender points for clearing a territory or rob points from the attacker for failing to clear doesn't matter. But it makes more sense to reward offense because of auto setters or people who just don't attack.
And the strategy is to maximize offensive banners given a win. If you set too weak of teams on D, your opponent will outscore you and you will not get the bonus points from that, which is a lot. So if you want consistent Kyber and a high final rank, you need wins. Therefore, a good defense is also important, which is why I say balance is the best strategy.
