Better matchmaking would decrease the incentive to do this. A lot of times people seem to have refused to post defense in protest because they were outmatched.
Also, better rewards for winning would decrease the incentive. In this run, the 100k credits per victory were a much better reward than the winner’s bracket rewards. That created a perverse incentive to go light or ignore defense. Hopefully when we move to a three-round format, the winner’s rewards will improve and we’ll see less of this.
