To add on to this:
Every game that doesn’t have recycled game objects can be locked if you score all the points. This is bad when scoring all the points is very easy. I don’t believe this is the case here as long as the alliances are somewhat equal in skill level.
There’s a lot of situations when an alliance is down in mobile goals where the game is still winnable, but they can’t score rings or they can’t get on themselves or goals on the platform. Thus, “ramp camping” becomes effective.
Weird… it’s like maybe rings are more important than some initially thought…
