C-Bill Rewards - Poor implementation or ploy to get more MC sales?

Maybe I am just a bit emotional right now but I was running my X5 a few times, with Premium Time. Only ONCE did I get a more or less regular reward, aka 220k CBills and that was after 1 kill, 7 assists and 3 Component Destructions...

I am sorry and this may sound very cynical, but this is not an adjustment to level the 12 v 12 rewards, but feels like a ploy to make CBill earning even LESS desireable and maybe sale a few of those regular chassis via MC because people are fed up with grinding for the spare parts...

My average C-Bill income in the matches since the patch has been at around 110k... again, with Premium Time AND Hero Mech Bonus. This is a money nerf as bad as can be.

 

It seems like they pull the earnings in on the edges. I've earned more per loss now, and less per win. However, I also haven't brought my best builds to bear since the patch.
