STAR has the same problem, if you like an underdog candidate its mathematically best to rank only them so your other choices don’t end up overtaking your prefered choice. That doesn’t happen in RCV until your preferred choice has alrrady lost. Both STAR and Approval are far far more gameable than STV
I guess. I think with any single winner system you’ll encounter gamesmanship, and enough proportional representation can smooth a lot of that over anyway

Definitely true that proportional representation helps a whole lot, and that no system is perfect or free from errors.
