The system is fine as it is, Lars me or people I had pleasure pking with never really were bring down because of couple of noobs dropping food. We did it ourselves, but in our case we would have survived anyways. It was more of a safeswitch.
In Lars video he happened to be in 1v4, he should have died in that case anyways even if they could not been able to drop food. And if I recall correctly he dominated that situtation, and people I've pked with could always take these guys who relay on food drops 1v2.
Myself personally enjoyed disadvantageous situtations, and if I died to 1v2 because of someone dropping food it was because of trying to kill them both and actually fighting back. Also it's not really hard to tank 1v2 if you simply don't want to engage.
Let it be a part of the game, let noobs in 3 items think that they helped someone because of dropping food. Doesn't matter to me, they are still noobs.
