Balancing increases the range of strategies available. Increasing the range of strategies increases the skill cap of the map. Increasing the skill cap would be a good thing for the game as the influence of the luck factor in LTD is undeniable.
A lot of the problems in team ltd occur because the king is OP on levels 11-14 and underpowered on later levels. This allows team to practically not die on 11-14 for the kill send on level 15/17.
Another problem is the fact that certain levels are so weak as kill levels eg 12/16. if every level was a potential 'kill' level saving will have certain risks and more strategies will be introduced.
Ways to conteract this:
1. Increase king upgrade cost 2x (and increase income gained for the upgrade 2x) - make it harder to max king which will make levels 11-14 harder to defend against.
2. Increase king skill caps - make it easier to defend vs 15/17
3. A combination of the two above
4. Give phase to range units after reaching mid - make it harder to hold at the king.
Building upon this, levels 1-10 can also be greatly improved with balancing to introduce new strategy.
5. Buff levels 6,9 and nerf 7. With every level being balanced, the range of strategies will increase.
