For battle I'm glad there is not perfect balance. If there was you probably would rarely see x3 and we would all be fucked cause xp/gold gaining is best if there are win streaks. Really good balance means a lot less raping by one team and much less xp/gold.
So, the actual battle mode would be more fun to play, as a non clan member, or people wouldn't leech via banners?
I clearly see why you're defending it, and can understand it. However, it screws an entire team over, way too much.
A "lot less raping by one team" is just good, because you'd get less unwinnable situations, like when my team dies out,
but on the other side, there are like 30 guys still standing. Do you call that balanced?
Pretty sure that those who milk x5's don't give a damn, and think it's "balanced" that way, while maintaining it over 5 maps.
It isn't.
