With a change to 50 or 45, kills become more of an incentive. Although, with the point change, a player will still need to be able to survive to get a good amount zone points, regardless of kills.
Yep. Clearly there is a problem with sumo scoring as it is now.
Well...I did.

I disagree. If you kill 10 people and then die, and the last person who survives gets more points, that isn't unfair. The entire sumo design is camping! It would be unfair to change the scoring just so agressive players can be reckless and win matches while being dead.
