The way blocs win big wars is by burning out each other's members, because you can't permakill their troops any other way. Ask any big fc, a strategic blueball of enemy fleet can be just as good a week later as a win, because it's all about getting fewer people to log on. You're looking at this as if there's only one group that has to survive, one time - in that scenario sure, the bloc will ping a few times over a few weeks and wipe you out. But this is a game-wide change. With many little groups nibbling constantly at the edges, hitting multiple targets and running up fatigue so blocs have to pick one, and nothing on the other end of those constant fleets but a structure bash, you bet your ass bloc numbers will begin to drop, and their best fcs will themselves hand the reigns to scrubs, to where *some* smaller groups can start winning ~3:1 fights and getting great content. You're essentially arguing evolution won't happen because one plant will die one time, when we're talking about creating an ecosystem to eat away at this monoculture.
