How can we make weak characters matter in pvp without making pvp pointless?

This is subtly different from what I was asking for.

What I asked for is:

"Make it so that it is never mechanically preferable to have a blank spot on a team, when there's a weak character willing to fill the slot."


I'm fine with a hercule tier character fighting in PVP and not ultimately mattering, because they just die first round.

The problem arises when it would literally have been better for their nation to have the team Hercule was on have a blank slot instead.
