Strength still makes virtually no difference and is a handicap to winning xp.
Look at the all-time stats. Only 1 in the top 10 has a strength over 500 1 in the top 25 over 1000 and 3 in the top 50 over 1000, none over 2000, yet the xp is over 15000.
So basically all gremlins that want a chance at "leaving a mark" are going to just pump stamina and dexterity as has been the norm for the last couple of months.

Maybe a way to address this would be that when a fight doesn`t end in a knockout, the winner is not the Gremlin that won the most rounds, but that which dealt the most damage. I don`t think that`s ideal either, and might skew things the other way. Maybe I`ll just start refusing fights from hi dex lo str Grems...

I think only time will tell, as it is finely balanced at the moment.
Richard may have a good point though, and combining that with increasing how much a win contributes to your score more, it would probably offset any advantages.
I do know that my gremlin is beating gremlins with WAY higher dex+stamina who just have low strength, more often than not.

I am seeing the same as RJS and benefiting from it.
I am challenging gremlins who are higher than me in the league with low strength and am winning most - therefore getting the 10points for a win and high xp!

Well unfortunatly I moved while playing Bob III so i wasn`t able to keep the trend, but I was doing the same as those few hits were all that was needed to win. But if you look at the top 50 overall, you will see why it doesnt` work often enough to make it worthwhile to have a 2k+str gremlin. If it worked so well then there would be more with higer strength fighting those high dex/sta combos for the titles.
