I'm not even talking about the possible abuse - simply being in the right place at the right time (defending against the right crashers) can, in theory, increase your value by ~50%. That's ludicrous.

I understand it has its benefits, the idea that Zik can actually solo if it has enough value to steal back what it lost is appealing, but it's not worth the sacrifice.

What's wrong with Zik the way it is, anyway? (not counting r65 stats where it seems very weak)
This is not the discussion thread for no-loss stealing, we are discussing having limited loss-stealing in the range of 85-95% die upon steal.
