The problem aside from Vivi being Paul Ellering and Leon being a master limb severer is your team becomes about using your best ability every week

Probably gonna be a ton of abilities literally never used with this system

It depends on whether the delta in power between the best and worst ability is large enough that a good setup can't swing it. Like...silly example here, but would you take one KO or two abilities of the caliber of Leon's limb severing? I don't know which one's better there.. Some level of ability sameyness has always been the case in mercs though. I literally won the last game by realizing this, wintrading for a 50:50 winrate for two weeks out of 3, then exploding people on the third and repeating towards the back half of the game. Ability usage is how you win fights, there is no point in fighting if you don't have them, and so the game grows more stale via forfeit trading unless abilities can be used freely. Making sure teams fight is, imo, worth some level of ability sameyness because the game is poorer for seeing less matches.
