Thank you for your thorough reply, most of which I agree with.
The main problem, which you gloss over, is the window of time in which the 2 mid players have level 10 tanks and tank upgrades, and the opponents do not. Not only is the group of 3 usually not level 10, but they also have less money and cash per person. In the time that it takes them to catch up to level 10, they can easily feed and lose a CP.
2nd, it is not accurate to compare team gold, it matters so much what the gold per player is. The team of 5, which has overall less exp and less gold per tank, requires better team play to compensate. For example they require at least 3 people to defend a CP against 2 opponents that push. This puts teamplay demand on the worst players on the team, which usually doesn't work out.
I understand your arguments about the math of gold distribution, however there is more to it than that. You should have enough games under your belt to have personally experienced it. Are you really telling me, math aside, that you don't feel like you have an advantage when someone on your team drops in the first couple minutes? You really don't get angry when an opponent drops early? Even though your logic is good, in reality the team of 4 wins most of the time if their leaver is early. Why is that? Instead of telling us how gold doesn't matter, please explain to me why the early leaver team usually wins. Then suggest a fix.
