It is still an awful idea, as I have already stated, its not supposed to be an item based mod. That is what you are trying to make it into. If the idea behind making items take up additional slots is to allow the release of more powerful items and help to balance things overall, undoing that because someone is losing doesn't make any sense. They already have cheap items, which is more than enough for people on the losing team who understand the game make a come back, it has happened alot since Zero released the discount function. What causes the very skewed scores now is not the lack of items, but the lack of parity between the teams. Its is completely idiotic to try and keep adding more and more modded functions to help people who suck at the game when the underlying issue is their lack of ability and the amount of team stacking. The only problem to be fixed here is the stacking which does not required complicated issues of item balancing and discounts.
WCS is a mod about races, not items, terrible ideas are terrible.
I hit Brett right in the feels.
