I pretty much agree with you, but on the other hand there are other ways to counter a beefed up Invader.
1. Players should listen to Shaxx(or whoever it is) when he clearly says “Bank those motes!” Too many vulnerable players trying to stack 15 motes and then not paying attention to the progress bar...which clearly has segments indicating when invasion is possible.
2. Players foolishly letting Blockers camp the Bank while they transition between battle points. I see this ALL the time. When(and if) they get their stack and head to the Bank they now have to deal with the Invader and the Blockers while they’re sitting on their stacks. Not smart at all. I NEVER cruise by the Bank without clearing blockers if they’re there.
3. Do better damage between getting wiped by sleeper...and remember that it’s okay for a teammate to return the favor.
I have not a single time ever blamed the Sleeper for a loss. The sleeper never even crosses my mind as I watch teammates lose game after game from simply not playing smart. Lost a match last night where we got a Prime Evil before the enemy was even half way there. The other team comes back and beats us easily...and the stats pop up showing my damage at 75%. WTF? The next round we get stomped from the start and one guy loses 50+ motes.
Which brings me to number 4. That would be players losing a ton of motes as they throw themselves into the line of fire while trying to steal motes.
Nerfing the Sleeper is not going to change ANYTHING when it comes to the W/L column. It’s definitely not going to coax people into playing smarter.

Agreed. Add sleeper or a sniper (Wisper best choice) to your load out. When Drifter calls out an invader, disengage and turn around. Invader usually spawns on the opposite side of the map.

This 100%. People will always have excuses for everything and accountability for nothing.
