This article is not really up to standard at the moment.

What did the author mean by "if the team wins the match but doesn't achieve their Point Target, then their investment is only reimbursed without interest (need checking, but if the meta is not achieved, the investment is lost)"..? Meta does not mean what I think you think it means. Are they referrning to the bug which was causing incorrect payouts under certain circumstances?

The article also doesn't mention the new scaling system, which is pretty important to consider as it has made the old strategy of hoarding massive quantities of points objectively less valuable. It does mention the diminishing returns of the bonus points, which is good (I'd like to see a chart or visual aid like the one that illustrates the effect of status chance on pellet weapons, but this nitpicking).

Also, the section about specters seems to be referring to the old model. Around the time of the Index changes there was also a specter AI overhaul, which has made them significantly more competent than they were before. They benefit from the AI overhaul and Index scaling rework, and this has actually made the Equinox Duality (specter on 1 cast) built extremely powerful in the Index. Since you no longer have to run down the clock to ''win" the round, there is no real reason to dread playing solo anymore (it used to be better to have literally afk players than the bots).
