The only reason we're losing is because the assets are proportional to the number of people in the faction. The more people in the faction, the less effective each person's assets are. And since a large number of Knights don't bother with the faction war, the assets placed by the few that do don't carry enough weight to matter. I'm willing to bet money that a majority of players just picked the Knight faction because it was the first on the list, and don't pay attention to deploying war assets at the end of each match.
