What I've noticed is that the wait times have increased. I'm speculating that more players don't bother going to AB unless the map favors their side. This has always been true, but the impact now is worse, since the losing side gets less faction.

The increased reward for winning is good, but the decreased faction gain for losing should be reconsidered/removed. Now it's probably leechers that caused this update, but players can choose to kick/not invite those players. The lack of opposition resulting in greater wait times is less desirable I think.

In summary:
/signed for removing the decreased faction reward for the losing side.
